Smart-Space the British temporary building experts

Smart-space Instant Buildings is an independently owned, family run business, proudly promoting British Manufacturing and service from our 50,000sq ft headquarters in the heart of the West Midlands.

With a growing workforce of 60+ people, our aim is now, as it’s always been; to provide what’s best for our customers, not what’s easiest or most profitable for us.

Whilst we’re always proud to welcome new members of the team, we’re extremely proud of our reputation for long-service team members some of whom have been with us 25 years +.

Smart-Space is the trading name of the Portable Venues (Group) Ltd, which was incorporated in 1987.  The present company evolved from unincorporated trading over the years since its inception in 1985.

 

The Smart-Space Team

Site installers

Our five site teams, each led by an experienced Site Manager, are on hand to make each project a reality. From taking delivery of the components on site, through to building completion and sign off, our site teams will ensure your installation meets your expectations.

Each of our 25 site based employees have completed the Construction Skills Certification Scheme training qualification, and our mobile plant operators have the relevant IPAF (The International Powered Access Federation) qualifications to ensure safe operation of equipment and risk management. Our site managers are always on hand to ensure all associated risks are managed, and method statements followed.

Our site managers have a combined 96 years of experience, directly employed by us. Our standards are embedded within their work and there is no obstacle they can’t overcome.
