Modular Structures – Factory-Built, On-Site Installed

So you’re trying to say you build houses now? Not quite. Modular structures are something that we see in the entertainment industry since the boom of touring Rock and Roll, Artists such as Queen, Pink Floyd, and Led Zeppelin all pioneered the use of scaffolding and Truss in the staging industries.

Why Choose Modular Structures?

Modular structures offer a smarter, faster, and more sustainable approach to building. Unlike traditional construction, where everything happens on-site, modular buildings are manufactured in a controlled factory environment—delivering consistency, reduced risk, and faster turnaround.

Speed of Delivery

Projects can be completed 30–50% faster, with modules built off-site while groundwork happens on-site—cutting overall timelines significantly.

Cost Efficiency

Factory production minimises material waste and labour overheads, offering better budget control and fewer on-site delays.

R

Consistent Quality

Precision engineering and controlled conditions ensure higher build quality, unaffected by weather disruptions or variable labour.

Sustainability

Reduced waste, energy-efficient construction processes, and reusability of materials make modular a greener choice.

Flexibility

Modules can be easily scaled, reconfigured, or relocated, making them ideal for evolving needs across education, healthcare, commercial, or ecclesiastical settings.

Modular construction is not just an alternative—it’s often the superior choice for clients seeking efficiency, performance, and future-ready solutions.

off-site factory-built modules

We offer all of the below consultancy within all of our packages, always striving to ensure the best outcomes for our clients. But we can also be contracted to consult on projects, feasibility, budget, scope, and delivery in a wide range of areas.

Modular Structure Sales UK

Triple E are the UK distributor for the American Product: Modtruss ™ (imperial). However Triple E have also Pioneered their own Metric innovative modular structural system BEEEM ™.

EEE Build, through our parent company Triple E can provide both of the BEEEM and Modtruss Ranges. We have a range of experience in ground supports and other structural solutions, Including Truss, Steelwork, Layher, and other systems.

Which we can provide through our supply chain. We have worked closely with national and international clients in a range of industries, from Defence, Manufacturing, Construction and of course Live Events.

Modular Installations

Alongside Triple E; We have installed a large quantity of both Triple E’s innovative modular structural system BEEEM ™ (Metric) and the American structural system – MODTRUSS ™ (imperial) through EEE being the UK distributor for the latter.

As a Company, in 2020 EEE Build installed its first Modtruss ™ system for the defence manufacturing giant – Babcock. A welcome injection during the pandemic, and providing work for a lot of people who were otherwise dependent on the shutdown entertainment industry. Since then we have grown this aspect of our business. Expanding into Training structures for the enforcement industry, and of course Entertainment.

The largest single structure we have built to date was for the new Venue for Manchester: Aviva Studios. Measuring 7.5 m High, 13 m Long and 10.5 m Wide, with a clear internal span of 10.25 m, 2 floors: consisting an internal gallery, 2 sets of stairways to the roof, an external lift, and a full public access viewing platform on the roof. The structure Weighed 27.5 t, consisted of 0.8 km of BEEEM and over 7,000 Fasteners, and met all public access regs and design Eurocodes.

Due to the requirements of the project, this structure was completed in 7 days, with a tolerance of +/- 1.5 mm.

Inspections of Modular Structures in the UK

When it comes to signing off structures as safe to use. We can only take responsibility for structures that we have either built, or that have been built using Modtruss or BEEEM. We have partners and associates who can sign off on Layher and structural steel.

Structural inspection requirements are clearly defined in a raft of Eurocodes and BS EN Regulations. With Temporary demountable structures having their own additional guidance, and places of entertainment also having further requirements.

We offer Inspections as part of our installation packages for these structures. But also have service level agreements and packages available for structures within our remit, that have been provided by others.

Modular Structure Maintenance

As part of our Service level agreements and inspection packages structural systems also need to be maintained, and quite often this maintenance need is raised from an inspection. In this sector preventative maintenance is key. One cannot wait for tell-tale signs of damage to attend to ones responsibilities.

Safety is our Bedrock, and experience the strength in our arm, we can ensure that your structures are suitable for use for the duration of their designed lifespan.

05

Load Testing Modular Structures

Load testing is often necessary to prove compliance to the regulations. Whether by legislative recommendations, Approved Codes of Practice, manufacturers instructions, or structural Engineers request.

We stock a Modest amount of test weight, and have partners and associates who can supply more in a short space of time alongside all manner of accessories such as load cells and monitoring.

Modular Structure Frequently Asked Questions

What is a modular structure?

A modular structure is built off‑site in a controlled factory setting as individual modules, which are then transported and assembled on your site, meeting the same building codes as traditional builds.

How long does installation take?

Factory construction may take just a few days per module, with on‑site installation typically completed within days or weeks (for more complex builds) — significantly faster than traditional builds.

 

Are modular structures as durable as traditional buildings?

Yes—built to the same standards and often more robust.

Can any type of building be modular?

Absolutely—modular construction is ideal for offices, classrooms, washrooms, commercial spaces, worship halls, and more. We take this same versatile approach and apply it to a wide range of specialist applications—including staging, towers, training structures, access and manufacturing platforms, and temporary venues—using precision-engineered factory modules tailored to your specific requirements.

Is heavy plant required?

Not always with modular construction the individual component weights are consideably lighter, and can be built on site in situ in pieces or built off site and craned in.
