pre-qualification questionnaires, a competitive tender stage and interviews, proving to us that the company offers the high standards of service, product quality and value we demand from our accredited suppliers. ‘In addition, we were very impressed by the full turn-key package that Portakabin offers. From processing planning applications to installing climate control systems, access ramps and furniture, the company is able to handle everything, offering complete peace of mind for our customers.’ Plus, each new Portakabin modular building comes with a pioneering 20-year structural warranty and 5-year product warranty package.
