Each project is fully managed by an experienced team, ensuring a reliable, high-quality result tailored to your site and needs.

Whether you require a short-term structure, semi-permanent warehouse or bespoke event space on a medium to long term basis, we handle every detail: site surveys, planning documentation, fit-out, safety certification and ongoing support. The result is a building that performs exactly as you need it to – safe, reliable and built to last.

Planning & Installation

Creating a safe, reliable temporary building begins long before installation. Our in-house team manages every stage of the process – from the first conversation through to handover – ensuring your project is delivered smoothly, on time, and to specification.

Consultation & Planning

Every project starts with a conversation. We take time to understand your site, purpose, and timeframes before recommending the most appropriate structure. Site surveys and feasibility assessments ensure we identify access routes, ground conditions, and any specific operational or environmental factors.

Our team can also support planning applications with drawings, technical documentation, and clear advice on permissions – helping you navigate approvals quickly and efficiently.

Design & Preparation

Once the solution is agreed, we create detailed designs and schedules. Each structure is engineered to meet site-specific conditions and intended use, with documentation provided for loadings, safety, and compliance.

Where specialist systems are required – such as HVAC, electrics, plumbing, or internet and connectivity – we coordinate with trusted contractors, managing the full process so you have a single, accountable point of contact.

Installation & Handover

Installations are planned around your operational needs, minimising disruption to ongoing activity. Our experienced crews manage everything on site, from foundations and frame build to fit-out and finishing.

Each project is inspected before handover, with full certification and documentation provided. Once complete, your temporary building is ready for immediate use – installed safely, cleanly, and to specification.

Types of Structures

LM Structures supplies a range of temporary and semi-permanent building types, each engineered for specific site conditions and operational needs. From clearspan marquees and industrial tents to modular buildings and warehouse structures, every option provides safe, adaptable space that can scale, relocate or reconfigure as your project evolves.
