Frequently Asked Questions — Used Portable Buildings Ontario
What is a used portable building?
A used portable building (also called a modular building or relocatable building) is a prefabricated structure that was originally built in a factory and can be transported from one location to another. They are commonly used as classrooms, offices, daycares, and community spaces. Used portable buildings offer significant cost savings over new construction.
How much do your used portable buildings cost?

What condition are the buildings in?

What permits do I need to place a portable building on my property?

Can I use a portable building as a tiny home or backyard suite?
