FAQs

Portacom offers the security and peace of mind of our Building Renter Protection (BRP). Much like a damage waiver on a rental car, BRP is a low-cost alternative to standard property insurance.

Portacom has a team of highly qualified, experienced project managers working across New Zealand. Our team will work with you to understand your needs, design a building (or multiple buildings, depending on the size and scope of your project) to meet those needs then actively manage construction and installation for you. All the while they'll keep you updated as your building progresses towards completion.

Modular building is a method of design and construction which produces uniform, multipurpose buildings which can easily be installed and removed to produce a temporary space. Without the need for permanent foundations, the modular concept also inherently lends itself to scaling up and down as the demand for space changes.

Yes, We require minimum 24 hours' notice with all approved documentation and PPE as required. Contact your local representative for more info.

If your site has official access to the sewer infrastructure, we can arrange for an authorised plumber to connect the waste directly to the civil sewer system, ensuring a hygienic and hassle-free experience for your site.

For sites without access to a sewer system, such as greenfield locations, we provide waste tanks as an alternative solution. These tanks are delivered along with the buildings, offering a self-contained waste management system. To ensure uninterrupted operation and prevent overflowing waste tanks, we also schedule regular pump-out services.

The minimum hire period can change depending on your location and the building you require. As a rule of thumb, the minimum hire period is 6 months. If you need buildings over three years, talk to us about purchase.

The decision to hire or buy will depend on a number of factors. The most important is how long you need them for. If it is for a set period of a project then it makes sense to hire and make the cost of the buildings a project cost and not a capital cost. If you think you will require them for many years to come, then purchasing from our Portacom range may be right for you. Of course, if you need a permanent building or classroom, then we can design something which will be yours forever. However, it is best to discuss this with your local Portacom service centre.

Yes it is possible if the site layout and accessibility allow. Additional crane charges will apply so it is best to have everything installed at the same time.

360° Solutions is a comprehensive range of products and services designed to meet all your site needs. It covers every aspect from site setup, including furniture for offices, meeting rooms and lunchrooms. In addition to furniture, our 360° Solutions encompass a range of essential services, such as waste tanks for efficient waste management, cleaning services to maintain a hygienic workspace, and damage waivers to give you peace of mind. Just like our buildings, you can hire these products and services for as long as you need them.

Our catalogue is expanding every day so contact your service centre for a complete working space solution.

Portacom's hot water system is automatically included in ablutions and lunchrooms. You can always add them to multipurpose modules or toilets if that is your requirement.
