Expanding your business site? 5 financial benefits of a demountable tent structure
When you think about expanding your business site with, for example, a new logistics space or production hall, you will likely first consider a traditional steel or concrete structure. But have you ever considered a demountable building based on a tent structure? Extremely fast to install, flexible in use, and above all: financially attractive – in at least five different ways.
1. No costly foundations required
With a conventional industrial building, foundation costs can quickly add up. With a Veldeman demountable structure, these costs are limited or even non-existent. This not only saves budget, but also time and therefore improves return on investment.
2. You save up to half on annual maintenance costs
A traditional structure requires an extensive maintenance plan: roof inspections, technical repairs, component replacements, façade cleaning, duct inspections, renovation works, and so on.
Our tent structures are made from highly durable materials – developed in-house – and can be repaired or replaced quickly and at minimal cost when needed. This results in significantly lower maintenance costs, up to 50% less per year compared to a traditional industrial building. We also offer cost-effective tailor-made maintenance contracts.
3. A Veldeman structure is (much) faster to depreciate fiscally
Where a traditional industrial building has a fiscal depreciation period of on average 20 to 33 years, a Veldeman demountable structure can reduce this to one third or even one quarter of that period, depending on the specific situation.
4. You gain time instead of losing efficiency
Building an industrial facility takes months to years; from preparation and permitting procedures to final execution. Our structures can be installed in just a few days up to a couple of weeks. That means: faster operational readiness, no costly downtime, and immediate revenue generation.
5. Your total cost of ownership drops significantly
We analysed our projects over the past forty years and compared historical data with current industrial construction market figures.
When combining the lower construction and usage costs of a Veldeman structure – the so-called total cost of ownership – the difference with a traditional industrial building becomes very clear. Over a period of twenty years, the TCO of a 1.000 m² Veldeman structure is on average 75% lower compared to a conventional industrial building of the same size and specifications.
