What our customers say
Secondary Multi Purpose Block
Lee Alexander, Head of Finance
Shotton Hall Academy
You are in effect getting a permanent building for half the cost of bricks and mortar. We were intrigued by TG Escapes’ different approach to learning environments and after visiting their other projects we were blown away.
Prep School Early Years Provision
Sam Patel, Director of School Development
Bickley Park Prep School
Both children and staff love learning and working in the building due to the amount of natural light and space. Free flow access to a covered deck is a huge advantage so that outdoor learning can take place in all weathers.
Performance Studio
Kiran Hingorani, Principal
Swalcliffe Park Specialist School
The building itself fits really well into its natural surroundings and, in its own unique way, looks as stunning as the main school building, a beautiful Victorian manor house. The boys love having their own space to enjoy their activities and make as much noise as they want!

How long does it take TG Escapes to build and install a modular educational building?
Our modern methods of construction deliver educational buildings significantly faster than traditional construction, typically saving around a third of the time compared to traditional building methods.
Because we manufacture components in our UK factory whilst site preparation occurs simultaneously, we dramatically reduce overall project duration. According to the National Audit Office, modular construction can halve on-site building time compared to traditional methods.
We work sensitively around your academic timetable, ensuring minimal disruption to learning. Components are delivered in a controlled manner, and our experienced teams can work in live school environments year-round – not just during holidays. This flexibility means you can address urgent capacity needs far quicker than traditional construction. Learn more about our efficient project process and how we maintain education continuity throughout installation.
