As a leading modular construction company, Wigan-based prefab specialists Cotaplan are dedicated to providing high-quality modular buildings in the UK for all kinds of uses and industries including Healthcare, Corporate, Education and more. Whether you require a temporary school facility whilst building works are undertaken, a modern hospital building extension or modular offices, our custom-built prefabricated buildings are the perfect choice.
Established in 1982, Cotaplan have the experience in delivering high-quality, bespoke modular buildings and provide a speedy service which could see your prefabricated building complete and ready for use in a matter of days or weeks.
We can offer our buildings for hire short term and long term. This is especially useful if you’re currently having traditional building work done and need a temporary modular building to serve as a short-term workspace, such as an office or a Modular classroom. Hiring a modular building is also useful for schools and businesses who need the extra space but don’t necessarily need a permanent building.
Hire
When you need a temporary building to accommodate people, patients or employees whether its unexpected or planned, Cotaplan modular hire means you won’t have to compromise on quality.
Sell
The first thing that happens when you contact us about selling a modular building is that we will arrange to visit your site to inspect the building or buildings concerned. You will then be provided with a free no obligation quote for your units. Whether its a second hand modular classroom, mobile office, or portable cabin, once we have agreed on a price our team will then work with you to devise a removal plan.
For today’s businesses and facilities, traditional methods of construction are becoming obsolete. The need for flexibility, combined with speed, affordability and sustainability, renders conventional building strategies ineffective. No business or facility can afford to shut down crucial space while building work is undertaken – especially on a large-scale, as these projects are regularly victims of delays.
Due to the simplicity of modular building construction, and ease of access to floor plans, you have the ability to quickly and easily allow your workplace to evolve into the shape and size it needs to. Bespoke modular buildings can provide a complete range of advantages over their more traditional counterparts – most notably, faster turnaround and lower build costs.
Whether you require portable buildings, or a portable office, you can count on our experienced team to deliver your requirements.
Thanks to the availability of prefabricated materials from Cotaplan, you’ll be able to quickly and easily design the perfect space for your needs. All portable building spaces can be constructed in a very short time frame. In many cases your modular building could be completed in the same amount of time it would take to gain planning permission for a traditional brick structure.
Unlike conventional construction, prefabricated foundations are simple to assemble and disassemble, they can be adapted to meet your changing needs. This fluidity is essential for all businesses and government facilities, including educational and medical. It would only take a few days for an existing modular building to be broken down and altered to provide the best possible space. This makes prefabricated construction an essential choice for any rapidly expanding business or facility.
Modular buildings can, in many cases, be up to 60% cheaper than a traditional modern building or extension. That is even before you start to consider the savings related to labour and equipment. Modular buildings can also benefit from cost efficiency through building maintenance thanks to its eco friendly construction and durable materials. Our quality control procedures mean you’re never disappointed.
If you’re building on a medical or educational facility, then disruption is the last thing you need. Children and teachers need to be able to concentrate, just as patients need to be able to sleep and relax in order to make effective recoveries. Even if you’re just building an extension on your business or retail space, then disruption can deter customers and clients from coming near your workplace. With less disruptive construction, prefabricated buildings are an ideal choice.
At Cotaplan, we are committed to meeting and surpassing the high expectations and regulations of the modern construction industry. Our unrivalled approach to volumetric and modular building design makes us the industry leaders for prefabricated, modular building systems, extension and alterations for commercial businesses
More and more properties, facilities and businesses are taking advantage of turn-key construction and prefabricated materials.

Chase Farm Hospital, Enfield
Chase Farm Hospital required a new manufacturing facility as quickly as possible. Cotaplan provided a modular solution, completing the building in our factory in just six weeks. With careful transport and traffic planning, the facility was delivered and installed without any issues, meeting the client’s urgent need efficiently and effectively.
Sparsholt College
Cotaplan recently completed the design, manufacture, and installation of a state-of-the-art modular classroom building for Sparsholt College. This project demonstrates the efficiency and adaptability of modular construction, especially in educational environments where minimising disruption is critical.
Thorpe School
Cotaplan completed the design and build of a fully refurbished modular classroom block at Thorpe School in Norfolk, delivered as part of a wider school development plan. The building was manufactured off-site to reduce disruption and installed within a six-week period, allowing the school to continue day-to-day activities. This fast-track turnkey solution meant the school could also complete additional external works, such as resurfacing, over the half-term break without delay.
Macclesfield FC
One of the latest modular buildings installed at Macclesfield FC was two hired classrooms, provided to support the club’s youth development facilities. These classrooms help ensure young players receive key educational skills alongside their football training. The units were delivered pitch-side as part of the club’s wider commitment to youth education. Cotaplan is also partnered with Macclesfield FC through a pitch-side advertising board and looks forward to the team’s progress.
Wolverhampton City Council
After weeks of meticulous planning and coordination, Cotaplan successfully delivered and installed a modular classroom block for Wolverhampton City Council. The project required advanced logistical planning, including the deployment of three mobile cranes and carefully managed road closures, to ensure the new facility was installed safely and on schedule.
A modular building is a type of prefabricated building in which the modules are factory-built and transported to the construction site for assembly. A modular building is composed of building components that are manufactured off-site in a location like ours at Cotaplan, then transported to the construction site. Using this method reduces labour on-site and provides greater control over production quality. Modular buildings are more common in urban areas, but they can also be used in the suburbs and in rural areas, and are more cost-effective, easier to transport and can be built faster than site built buildings. Modular buildings can be assembled using cranes, forklifts and other construction equipment. At Cotaplan, all of our modular buildings are constructed to the highest standards, using sustainable materials and processes wherever possible. We offer a comprehensive range of services to help you plan, design, construct and maintain your modular building.
Modular building allows for construction to automatically continue in wet weather without any interruptions. Footing will go in as planned, foundations will be safely set, and the modular building will continue to be built with zero or minimal delay. This allows a lot of room for customisation, since the construction can take place at its own pace, the builder can move ahead of schedule or continue to meet the customer’s specific requirements.
In general, modular buildings are manufactured in a controlled environment, using high-quality insulation materials for the walls and roof. This means that the finished buildings are far more insulated than traditional site-built buildings. This alone can greatly reduce utility costs for the structure. At Cotaplan, our ISO:9001, 14001 and 4500 certified factory can produce prefabricated buildings to your specific thermal performance requirements.
