Portakabin delivers 99% of buildings on time and on budget

Published: 10 December, 2009

Research carried out by Portakabin, the UK’s leading education building specialist, has shown that it has successfully delivered 99.6 per cent of buildings on time and on budget over the past four years.

This is in dramatic contrast to new Government statistics for building industry performance that show just 46 per cent of construction projects were completed on cost and only 59 per cent on time over the past year (source: Construction Statistics Annual 2009, Office of Public Sector Information*).

Construction performance in the UK has actually declined since 2005, when 48 per cent of building projects were delivered on budget and 62 per cent on programme*.

Time and cost overruns are still a key concern for local authorities, schools and colleges. In response to these issues, Portakabin has launched a ground-breaking Customer Charter, giving a clear commitment to customer service excellence which is unprecedented in the construction industry.

Ground-breaking Customer Commitments

The new Charter provides an assurance that Portakabin will deliver every education building on time and on budget – and if this is not achieved, a week’s free hire will be provided for every day a project is delayed.
