Professional Welfare Infrastructure for Edinburgh Sites
In the demanding environment of a Scottish construction site, standard temporary cabins often fall short of modern standards for thermal efficiency and staff comfort. Adacon’s P600 modular system is designed to provide a higher tier of site accommodation. These are not converted shipping containers; they are purpose-built steel-framed modules manufactured in our Turkey facility and delivered to Edinburgh finished to a high internal specification.
Our units are frequently utilised as site welfare units because they combine the durability of a permanent structure with the rapid deployment required for project-based work. For contractors operating in Edinburgh, this means providing facilities that exceed basic HSE requirements, offering a better environment for site managers and tradespeople alike.
Configurations: From Single Offices to Full Welfare Blocks
The P600 system is based on a 13 m² module that can be joined side-by-side or stacked to create larger complexes. This flexibility allows us to cater to various site footprints, from narrow city-centre plots to expansive infrastructure projects.
Single Module (13 m²)
Ideal for use as a dedicated site office for a project manager or a small modular toilet block for sub-contractors. These units fit easily onto smaller sites where space is at a premium.
Twin-Module Links (26 m²)
The most common configuration for medium-sized projects in Edinburgh. Typically split between a kitchen/canteen area and a drying room or office space. These modules provide a spacious layout that avoids the cramped feel of traditional site cabins.
Four-Module Complexes (52 m²+)
For large-scale residential developments or major civil engineering works, multiple modules can be arranged in L-shapes or two-storey blocks. These complexes can include integrated modular shower blocks, meeting rooms, and large-scale canteen facilities.
High-Performance Standard Specification
Every Adacon module is built to a consistent, high-quality standard, ensuring they remain comfortable throughout the Edinburgh winter. Unlike basic site huts, our units include:
- Structural Integrity: Fully welded steel frames with a long service life, suitable for relocation between sites.
- Insulation & Lining: Fully insulated walls, floors, and roofs, finished internally with plastered and painted walls and professional laminate flooring.
- Glazing: High-quality double-glazed uPVC windows and external doors as standard.
- Electrical Fit-out: LED lighting and multiple power sockets are pre-installed, requiring only a final connection to your site's consumer unit.
- Custom Exterior: Choice of cladding colours, selectable wall-by-wall via our P600 configurator.
Indicative Pricing for Edinburgh Delivery
The cost of a welfare setup depends on the number of modules, the internal fit-out (such as kitchens or showers), and the specific cladding choices. For site welfare applications, most projects fall within the £18,000 to £70,000 range.
This price includes the manufacture and delivery of the finished modules to your site in the Edinburgh area. Costs for groundworks, foundations, and final utility connections are project-specific and are the responsibility of the client.

Delivery and Access Logistics to Edinburgh
We deliver across the Edinburgh City Council area, East Lothian, West Lothian, and Midlothian. Typically, modules arrive via the M6 and A74(M) or via the A1 for eastern sites. We are experienced in the specific logistical challenges of the capital, including:
- City Centre Access: Navigating narrow streets in the New Town or Old Town often requires detailed traffic management and specific crane permits, which should be coordinated with the local authority.
- Rural Sites: We deliver to agricultural and outlying sites via the A70 or A702, provided there is adequate clearance for heavy goods vehicles.
- Crane Positioning: The modules are craned into position. Customers must ensure a level, prepared base is ready, and that there is sufficient overhead clearance from power lines or trees.
Lead Times and Local Planning
Lead times are generally measured in weeks rather than months. We often have "Ready to Order" stock units available for immediate dispatch for urgent site requirements. For bespoke configurations, we will provide a confirmed delivery date at the point of quotation.
Regarding planning permission and building warrants: rules for temporary site accommodation vary depending on the duration of the project and the specific location. We recommend all Edinburgh clients consult with the City of Edinburgh Council planning department to ensure compliance before installation.
