Fast Installation

Fews offer a very fast installation service where required. Our temporary buildings can be installed on hard standing concrete, tarmac, gravel or grass, and it is possible for them to be either  free-standing or connected to existing buildings.  The quality of our structures mean they can be in place for three months or even 20 years.

Fews has invested significantly in sustainable energy sources, equipment, processes and vehicles over a long period of time including deriving our heat and power from biomass and solar energy.  For more information on our sustainable journey please click here. 

This approach extends to our structures which we maintain before and after use to increase product longevity, as well as offering energy efficient insulation and heating options.

We are able to build in very confined spaces if the choice of location is limited.

Temporary Classrooms, canteens, assembly halls, examination halls and gymnasiums

Fews offer a robust turnkey solution for many applications within  schools, colleges and universities. We can provide temporary buildings in a range of sizes up to 25m wide, and are able to to build in confined areas when space is limited. This is a list of the variety of applications we can offer:

  • Classrooms
  • Assembly Halls
  • Examination Halls
  • Canteens with bespoke floorings
  • Sports halls / Gymnasiums with bespoke floorings
  • Blacked out drama studios with bespoke floorings

Where extra space is required we can provide purposely designed temporary classrooms in single or multi-level Manhattan versions. Each classroom can be fully temperature controlled, well lit and made fully secure.

Our temporary classrooms are suitable for confined areas, and we are happy to make a free site visit to make a complete survey.

Need temporary classrooms over a longer period? No problem, our structures are available for long term hire or purchase.

RAAC Response for Classrooms, Examination Halls, Sports Halls and Canteens

Fews have already been part of the response to the unfolding RAAC crisis in schools, universities and a range of other public buildings.  The demand for fast temporary and semi-permanent buildings in this situation is growing daily, and we have long experience in providing such solutions.

Building on School Sites: Skills Needed

Constructing temporary classrooms on school sites requires a skilled workforce with specific qualifications:

DBS Checked Staff

All personnel involved in the construction process must undergo Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks to ensure a safe and secure working environment in proximity to students.

Flexible Delivery Schedule

The ability to deliver materials outside of school hours is essential to minimise disruptions to the ongoing educational activities and ensure the safety of students and staff alike. This requires coordination and planning to ensure a seamless construction process.

Health and Safety

There are a number of essential accreditations that are required to work in any environment.  Fews also operate on numerous nuclear sites which means a much higher level of training and accreditation.  There is more information on our accreditations and training programmes.

Visibility of Staff and Vehicles

All of our site staff wear branded hi-viz clothing and all of our vehicles are clearly branded for easy identification to ensure the safety of students and staff.

Use of Segregated Compounds

Fews always establish a compound to store materials and work safely away from staff and students.
