Modular Building Hire FAQs
Have questions? We’ll help you find answers.
Q1. What is the minimum hire period for a portable office?
Our minimum hire period generally is 12 months, which allows businesses to effectively manage medium-term projects or transitional phases. We can, however, discuss shorter terms for specific event-based needs.
Q2. Can I customise the interior of a hired modular building?
Yes, we offer a range of non-permanent customisations. Our guide on how to Customise Melbourne Rented Modular Office Interiors shows exactly what’s possible. Common options include:
- Internal Partitions: Creating private offices, meeting rooms, or reception areas.
- Removable Branding: Applying vinyl logos and brand colours to walls and glass.
- Furniture Layouts: Supplying specific furniture sets to suit your workflow.
Q3. What is included in the standard hire fee?
The standard hire fee typically covers the rental of the building module itself. To ensure full transparency, costs for delivery, installation, customisations, and removal are quoted separately as they vary per project. Contact us for a full rundown of the hire fees. Contact SPM Group.
Q4. How quickly can a hired portable building be delivered to my site?
Once any necessary council approvals are in place, a standard portable building from our fleet can often be delivered and installed within a few weeks, ensuring your project stays on schedule.
Q5. What are my responsibilities at the end of the hire term?
Your main responsibilities at the end of the term are simple and designed for a smooth handover. They are:
- Remove Belongings: Ensure all your company’s equipment and personal items have been removed.
- Clean Condition: Leave the building in a clean and tidy state.
- Clear Access: Ensure our removal team has clear access to the site for decommissioning.
Q6. Is it possible to extend my hire period if my project runs longer than expected?
Yes, we offer flexible hire agreements. If you need to extend your term, simply contact our team. This is a good time to review The Pros & Cons of Buying vs Leasing Portable Offices, as some long-term hirers may find purchasing from our range of Buildings and Services more cost-effective.
Q7. What site preparations are needed before a hired building is delivered?
The site needs to be clear, level, and accessible for our delivery vehicles. We will provide a detailed site preparation guide, outlining requirements for foundations (like pads or blocks) and service connection points.
Q8. How much does it cost to hire a portable office in Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane?
The monthly hire cost depends on the building’s size and configuration. Our guide to The True Cost of Renting a Portable Office in Melbourne explains how we provide a clear, itemised quote separating the hire fee from one-off costs like delivery.
Q9. Are hired buildings suitable for public-facing roles like a sales office or event kiosk?
Absolutely. Our hired buildings are modern and professional, making them perfect for public-facing applications. We specialise in creating Inspired Pop Up Event Spaces ideal for customer engagement.
