Purpose-Built Modular Classrooms for Solihull Schools
We supply the P600 modular building system, a precision-engineered solution for the education sector. Unlike many temporary solutions, our modules are steel-framed and fully insulated, providing a thermal performance suitable for year-round teaching. We do not sell converted shipping containers; every Adacon building is manufactured in our dedicated facility to a specific internal finish, including plastered walls and LED lighting as standard.
For education providers looking for modular buildings in Solihull, we offer a streamlined procurement process. Our modules are 13m² each and can be joined in various configurations to create larger learning environments. This flexibility allows schools to grow their footprint incrementally as budgets or student numbers dictate.
Typical Classroom Configurations
The P600 system is highly adaptable. While every project is unique, common configurations for Solihull education sites include:
- Single Module (13m²): Ideal as a small SEND breakout room, a private music tuition space, or a 1-to-1 tutoring hub.
- Double Module (26m²): Suited for small nursery groups or specialist intervention rooms.
- Four-Module Block (52m²): A standard full-sized classroom configuration providing ample space for up to 30 students plus storage and teacher workspace.
- Multi-Storey Complexes: For schools with limited land, our system can be stacked to create two-storey blocks with internal staircases, doubling the capacity on the same footprint.
You can experiment with these layouts and receive an instant price estimate using our free online P600 configurator.
Standard Features and Customisation
Every classroom we deliver to Solihull comes with a high-quality standard specification designed for longevity and comfort. This includes:
- Fully insulated walls, floor, and roof for thermal efficiency.
- Plastered and painted internal walls (no plastic-coated panels).
- Durable laminate flooring suitable for high footfall.
- Integrated LED lighting and multiple double sockets.
- Double-glazed uPVC windows and high-security external doors.
- External steel cladding in a choice of colours to match existing school aesthetics.
Optional extras for the education sector include WC and shower compartments, integrated kitchenettes for staff rooms, air conditioning for climate control, and external decking or ramps for DDA compliance.
Indicative Pricing for Solihull Projects
Cost is a critical factor for school governors and procurement teams. For educational use, a typical price band for our P600 system ranges from £30,000 to £90,000. The lower end of this scale typically covers single-module offices or small group rooms, while the upper end covers multi-module classroom blocks with added plumbing and high-specification finishes.

Delivery to Solihull and the West Midlands
Solihull presents a variety of logistical considerations. Our modules are transported by HGV and usually reach the area via the M42, M40, or A45 corridors. We regularly deliver to diverse sites across the borough, from the built-up areas of Shirley and Olton to more rural school sites in the Meriden Gap.
Access is a key part of our site assessment. While our modules are relatively easy to position compared to traditional builds, we must account for:
- Urban Sites: Narrow residential streets in areas like Castle Bromwich may require specific traffic management.
- Restricted Entrances: Many older Solihull schools have narrow gates or overhanging trees that require careful navigation.
- Craneage: In cases where a module must be lifted over existing buildings to reach a courtyard, we can coordinate mobile crane hire.
It is the customer's responsibility to ensure a level, prepared base is ready for the modules and to arrange final electrical and drainage connections via local contractors.
Planning, Lead Times, and Lead-In
Lead times for our modular classrooms are typically measured in weeks rather than months. We often have "Ready to Order" stock units that can be dispatched even faster for urgent capacity needs. However, custom builds involving specific classroom layouts or cladding colours will follow our standard production cycle at our Turkey facility before being shipped to the UK.
Regarding planning permission in Solihull: while some small structures may fall under permitted development, most school expansions will require formal approval from Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council. Requirements vary significantly based on the site’s location (e.g., Green Belt or conservation areas). We advise all clients to consult with the local planning authority early in the process.
Why Choose Adacon?
Adacon provides a high-quality, permanent-feeling alternative to the traditional "portable cabin." Our P600 system is built to last, offering a professional environment that supports learning. By choosing a modular approach, Solihull schools can significantly reduce on-site health and safety risks, as the bulk of construction happens off-site. Disruption to the school day is kept to an absolute minimum, with the final installation often completed in a matter of days.
