GETTING READY FOR 2026 …and how renting a temporary building can support your plans
2
026 will be here before we know it and forward planning is essential if you want to stay agile and competitive. Whatever your new year plans are, being ready for challenges such as space constraints, workfl ow bottlenecks
or simply somewhere to store new products or equipment will be invaluable as you look ahead to your 2026 projects. One practical solution worth considering is the option to rent a temporary building. Temporary buildings provide immediate
access to additional space without the long lead times, building complications and capital investment needed for permanent construction. They also create the breathing room many organisations need for operational expansion, allowing daily work to continue smoothly. A temporary building might be the forerunner to a more permanent solution – giving you the time you need whilst you work through your plans. Our rental buildings can be purchased if this starts
to look like a better fi nancial fi t; especially when the temporary intention for the building becomes a viable long-term solution. Temporary buildings are typically used
for storage, goods in/out, packing areas, workshops and much more. At Smart-Space we’ve installed buildings for all kinds of uses, from the obvious to the more unusual including a kosher supermarket, church and RNLI beach storage unit. We’ve even supplied a temporary building to securely store enormous wind turbines that were being installed off-shore in Taiwan. Another customer of ours took on a
temporary unit that allowed them to reorganise their workfl ow by creating an accessible and open storage area. This freed up space in their main warehouse for them to be able to work on manufacturing and more profi table areas of their business whilst also enjoying the benefi ts of organised and covered storage. Flexibility is perhaps the most compelling benefi t of renting a temporary building.

Despite the name, temporary buildings are not short-term compromises; they are versatile assets. They can remain in place for as long as required, be adapted to refl ect evolving needs, or even relocated as projects and priorities change. This adaptability makes them a sustainable choice for businesses navigating uncertainty or growth. We even supply refurbished buildings for an extra sustainability box tick. As 2026 approaches, organisations that
plan ahead will be best placed to manage change with confi dence. Incorporating temporary buildings into your strategy now could give you the additional capacity and fl exibility needed to take on new opportunities while keeping core operations running seamlessly.
