Temporary building with blue doors

According to Statista, the automotive industry contributes over £14bn to the economy and employs almost 800,000 people in the UK. 

But as with any business, a lack of space to perform the tasks needed can hinder growth within your automotive business. Depending on the nature of your business, not having the right building can impact the production, maintenance, storage or even sales of vehicles at your location. 

Lauralu are leading installers of temporary buildings in the UK. One of our key industries is the automotive industry, meaning we acutely understand your business needs. 

Keep reading to discover how our turnkey temporary buildings can keep the wheels turning for your automotive business, especially if traditional construction or relocation isn’t an option. 

What Are Temporary Buildings For The Automotive Industry?

As a business involved in vehicle production, maintenance, storage or sales, your commercial premises must offer several crucial elements. 

However, if you are short on space, or if the environmental conditions aren’t suitable for maintaining or storing your vehicles, your business can be negatively impacted.

Temporary buildings can solve any such challenges you are currently experiencing, as they can be customised to suit your industry, as well as your specific needs. 

Offering a cost-effective way of getting extra building space, temporary buildings can provide the easiest solution to solve any pain points with your existing premises. 

At Lauralu, our temporary buildings are also turnkey. This means we take care of all of the construction of the building on your behalf. We can provide practical spaces that are safe and dry, ready to house your vehicles

What Can Temporary Buildings Be Used For?

In short, temporary buildings can cater to any need you might have as a business involved in the production, maintenance, storage or sales of vehicles. 

Some common uses for our motor trade buildings include: 

  • Business expansion
  • Car building solutions
  • Car dealership showrooms and extensions
  • EV charging sales or support centres
  • Events
  • Logistics and fleet management
  • Parts storage
  • Relocation transition

P.S. Do you have any other requirements we haven’t listed above? Our list is far from exhaustive (no pun intended!). 

Please contact our sales team to let us know more about the building space you are in search of and our temporary building experts would be more than happy to explain the available options.

Here’s One We Made Earlier – A Temporary Vehicle Workshop Building In South Yorkshire

As a motor trade buildings supplier, we are asked to support a variety of projects with our temporary building solutions.

One such project was based in Doncaster for a facility which required a building extension. The key requirements involved the creation of a vehicle pre-delivery inspection (PDI) and preparation area.

For this client, we created a 300 sqm temporary building within four weeks of their initial enquiry. The building features insulation and weather sealing to ensure operations can continue in all weathers. In addition, we supplied a full electrical and heating package in addition to speed roller shutter doors. 

Compared with the cost and time involved with a traditional construction project, it is clear that temporary buildings offer endless advantages for automotive businesses. In many instances, we can have your building finished far quicker than it would have even taken to receive planning permission for a traditional building!
