“To provide peace of mind for our customers
  through quality portable buildings and services”

This principle is at the heart of everything we do, defining our aim to provide buildings that meet the wide-ranging requirements of our customers in every market sector, throughout Ireland. Our team of building specialists is committed to providing a first-class service, reinforcing our position as Ireland’s leading supplier of high-quality modular and relocatable buildings

Allspace history

Established in 1994, Allspace Limited has grown to become Ireland’s largest supplier for the hire of portable buildings and the sale of modular and relocatable buildings to the construction, business, leisure and public sectors.

The range of buildings we offer has grown over the years as the company has strengthened its position in the market. We offer high-quality portable building accommodation from Portakabin – one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of modular and relocatable buildings – supplying everything from single relocatable units to large-scale modular building complexes. We also offer high-security site accommodation from Thurston, the UK’s leading manufacturer of anti-vandal galvanite steel buildings, providing essential site accommodation for the construction industry.

Most recently, our association with specialist ground protection and temporary access systems supplier, Eve Trakway, has added a range of roadways and walkways to complement our buildings.

Our state-of-the-art headquarters in north Dublin features a display centre showcasing our products, as well as spacious refurbishment facilities, enabling us to maintain the highest standards in our fleet. In addition, we have branches in Cork and Galway, so that wherever you are in Ireland, there’s an Allspace branch not far away.

Relocatable buildings pioneer

As Allspace Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of Portakabin Limited, the premier-quality buildings in our range are manufactured by Portakabin – the company that pioneered the concept of relocatable buildings in the 1960s. From its first design for a relocatable building, Portakabin has expanded to become a household name and Europe’s market-leading building manufacturer with a reputation for innovation. Its unrivalled range of all-steel products offers the highest quality working environments available for every end application.
