Why temporary building installation is a smart solution for growing businesses
At Mar-Key Group, based right here in Dorset, we specialise in in-house manufacturing and installation of high-quality temporary or semi-permanent buildings. Whether you need additional storage, offices, or an industrial warehouse, our bespoke solutions are designed and built to meet your exact requirements.
What is a temporary building?
A temporary building is a semi-permanent structure designed to provide fast, reliable space solutions. They’re referred to as temporary as they’re surface-mounted, can be taken down, adapted or extended. Unlike traditional buildings, temporary structures can be installed quickly on-site, relocated if necessary, and adapted to various environments, all while maintaining structural integrity and compliance with UK building standards.
Temporary buildings can grow with your business
Our structures can be extended, adapted or relocated to provide you with the space you need as your business grows. If you need to move to a new location, we can move your building with you and install it in your new location. They can also be changed and adapted as your requirements demand. Or simply extended to provide you with more space as your business grows.

Planning permission & compliance
We assist with planning permission advice where required and ensure all our temporary building installations meet UK health, safety, and building regulations. Our team will guide you through any red tape and provide the necessary documentation. If you’d like to read more about the planning permission for a temporary building, you can read our blog on all things planning here.
Temporary doesn’t always mean short-term
Many of our clients keep their buildings in place for 5-20 years or more. With ongoing support and maintenance options available, our structures are built to offer long-term value without the commitment of permanent construction. This means the building can adapt with your business, catering to your needs at all times.
