WillScot Standard Modular Building Models
Compare starting configurations
| Configuration | Typical use | Confirm at RFQ |
|---|---|---|
| Single-module office | Site administration | External dimensions, lifting points, foundation and MEP scope |
| Linked classroom | Education expansion | Junction design, corridor, acoustic and fire strategy |
| Stacked accommodation | Workforce housing | Storeys, stairs, seismic basis and utility distribution |
These are planning categories, not fixed SKUs or guaranteed specifications. Supplier drawings must establish module size, wall build-up, steel grade, lifting method and connections for the proposed building. For a multi-unit project, require a plan that identifies factory work, site assembly and commissioning boundaries.
We use a controlled question set to keep quotations comparable. If one supplier includes HVAC and another excludes it, the difference belongs in the comparison matrix. The same approach applies to foundations, stairs, transportation, crane hire and local approvals.
Supplier documents to verify
- Model drawing and design basis. Match the revision to the dimensions, lifting points, foundation interface, wind and snow criteria and the intended deployment country.
- Material schedule. Ask for frame steel grade, galvanized coating mass where specified, sandwich-panel thickness and assembly-level fire evidence. A panel certificate alone does not cover the wall joints, openings or penetrations.
- Installation and MEP scope. Record which connections the factory tests and which are commissioned at the destination. Request the assembly instructions and ask the local project team to review approvals.
- Packing and handling plan. Confirm packed dimensions, mass, lifting instructions, proposed 40HQ loading quantity when relevant, inland route and unloading access. A volumetric module can shift work into the factory while demanding a larger transport envelope. Panelized construction can pack more densely while leaving more assembly and inspection on site.
