A marquee is not what most people picture when they hear 'temporary classroom' 🤔

Modern marquee structures are:

Insulated
Secure
Heated
Fully carpeted

They are custom-built to fit the available space on your school site, whether that is a playground, a corner of the playing field, or an area that wraps around an existing building.

The core advantages over other options are speed and flexibility.

Our vehicles are vans, not articulated lorries - so there is no lorry manoeuvring across your playground, no damage to running tracks or football pitches, and far fewer health and safety complications on site.

Planning ahead for the autumn term? Give us a shout 📣

This year marks 20 years of the global B Corp movement.

What started with 81 businesses in the United States has grown into a worldwide community of companies committed to balancing profit with purpose.

For us, becoming a B Corp was about taking a closer look at how we operate as a business — our impact on customers, employees, suppliers, the wider community and the environment.

One line from B Lab's recent anniversary message particularly resonated:

"Our future will always depend on each other."

In construction, events and temporary structures, that's something we see every day. Successful projects rely on collaboration, trust and long-term relationships.

The decisions we make affect the people we work with, the communities we serve and the environment we all share.

As the B Corp movement celebrates its 20th anniversary, it's a good reminder that business can be a force for good while still delivering commercial success.

We're proud to be part of that journey ⭐

When space runs out, the default option is often to look elsewhere.

- Off-site storage.
- Alternative venues.
- Temporary relocation.

Sometimes that makes sense. But in a lot of cases, the better option is to bring the space to you.

On-site structures mean:
• Everything stays where you need it
• Less disruption to day-to-day operations
• More flexibility as things change

It’s not always the first option people think of but often ends up being the most practical.

Last week definitely felt like summer 🌞

This week feels a little less so ☔

And yet… summer events are right around the corner.

This is usually the point where plans start to move from idea to action — venues get booked, guest numbers firm up, and the question of space becomes very real.

It’s time to start thinking about making better use of the space you already have.

That might mean:
• creating a covered area for unpredictable weather
• adding capacity without changing location
• building something that works around the flow of the event

The earlier that thinking starts, the more options you have.

If you’re planning something this summer, now’s a good time to get ahead of it.

Some projects come with better views than others ☀️🍇

One of the things we love most about what we do is that no two locations are ever the same.

If you need more space at your school, or college, you have come to the right place.

We work closely with a range of schools, colleges and universities, providing marquees as additional temporary space to helps and support the work of teaching staff and students.

Here's what we did at Valentines High School, Essex

⭐ 12m x 21m temporary hall
⭐ Installed in 3 days
⭐ Solid walls, glass windows, LED lighting, heating
⭐ Secure and weatherproof
⭐ Space for 240 students

Temporary marquee classrooms are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to traditional portacabins because they offer:

✔ Faster installation
✔ Flexible layouts to suit awkward spaces
✔ Less disruption on busy school sites
✔ Lower carbon impact
✔ Heated, insulated and fully functional learning environments

One of the biggest misconceptions is that a marquee classroom feels temporary.

In reality, modern structures are secure, comfortable, weatherproof and designed for long-term educational use where needed.

See how we supported Valentines High School with a rapid temporary classroom installation, helping create additional space without disrupting day-to-day operations 🏫 🍎

Many people assume that because a structure is temporary, planning permission doesn’t apply.

In reality, it isn’t quite that simple.

When it comes to temporary buildings and marquees, planning decisions are often based on factors such as:

✔️ How long the structure will be in place
✔️ Its size and position on site
✔️ How it affects traffic, access and neighbouring areas
✔️ Local restrictions and site conditions

And while many people have heard of the 28-day rule, it’s one of the most commonly misunderstood areas of planning.

Getting clarity early can help avoid delays, unexpected costs and last-minute project disruption.

We’ve put together a practical guide covering some of the key considerations around planning permission for temporary structures in the UK.

If you have any specific questions around planning permission, please get in touch.

Choosing the right temporary structure is rarely just about size.

The best solution depends on how the space needs to function, how quickly it’s needed, and the realities of the site itself.

For some projects, speed is critical.
For others, it’s access constraints, flexibility, branding or long-term adaptability.

A temporary structure that works well on one site may be completely wrong for another.

When we work with clients, we usually start with a few simple questions:

❓ What is the space actually being used for?
❓ What are the site conditions like?
❓ How quickly does it need to be installed?
❓ Could requirements change over time?

From construction sites and temporary warehousing to events and welfare facilities, getting those fundamentals right early on makes the whole project run more smoothly.

Our blog looks at the key things to consider when choosing the right temporary structure for your project.
