Frequently asked questions
Addressing some of the most commonly asked questions about semi-permanent buildings.
What makes a building a semi-permanent structure?
A semi-permanent building is typically purchased rather than hired and designed for long-term use. It uses enhanced materials like sandwich panel walling for greater durability and insulation, yet still doesn’t require traditional foundations—striking a balance between temporary flexibility and permanent performance.
What insulation levels are available on a semi-permanent building?
Semi-permanent buildings can be tailored with a wide range of insulation options to meet your operational and environmental needs. From insulated sandwich panel walls and thermal or air-filled roofs to rigid foam boards and fleece-lined membranes, every element can be customised for comfort, efficiency, and compliance.
Heating, cooling, and HVAC systems can also be integrated for full climate control, while BROOF t4-rated roofing ensures fire resistance. Whether you're storing temperature-sensitive goods, improving working conditions, or aiming for greater sustainability, we’ll work with you to deliver the right level of insulation for your site.
How long can a semi-permanent building last?
Although termed “semi-permanent” due to their flexibility and ease of relocation, these buildings are built to the same structural standards as permanent ones. At Spaciotempo, our frames are engineered to Eurocode regulations, ensuring long-term durability and performance. In fact, many of our buildings have remained in place for over 30 years—proof that when properly maintained, a semi-permanent building can offer decades of reliable use.
Do semi-permanent buildings require planning permission?
Generally, if the semi-permanent building is going to be in place for more than 28 days and the footprint bigger than 100m2, planning permission will need to be obtained. There are multiple other factors, such as exemptions and retrospective applications, to consider too.
Understanding the process can also help speed things up, and knowing about regulatory differences in Scotland, Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland may also be beneficial.
All of this is covered in our comprehensive blog series.
Can a semi-permanent building be relocated or extended later?
Yes – flexibility is one of the key advantages of a semi-permanent building. Our demountable structures are designed to be easily dismantled, relocated, or reconfigured as your needs change. Whether you're moving sites, expanding your operation, or adapting your layout, we can help you extend or reposition your building with minimal disruption to the rest of site.
