At Smart-Space, we’re not just constructing buildings; we’re crafting a more sustainable future. With climate change knocking at our door, we feel a strong responsibility to minimise our environmental impact. This passion drives us to innovate and lead the way in eco-friendly building solutions tailored for the warehousing and logistics sectors.
Why Sustainability Matters
So, why are we so dedicated to sustainability? The answer is simple: we believe in creating a world where businesses can thrive whilst reducing the impact on our planet. Our commitment to using 80% recycled aluminium for our structures is just one way we’re making a difference. This choice not only reduces carbon emissions but also supports the UK economy by sourcing local materials right here in the UK.
“Being a sustainable company is vital for protecting our planet and meeting the demands of our customers,” says Jason Lynock, Sales Director at Smart-Space. “By offering sustainable products, we’re empowering our clients to make eco-friendly choices and exceed their own Environmental and Social Responsibility goals.”
Key Benefits of Choosing Smart-Space
1. A Smaller Carbon Footprint
Choosing Smart-Space means choosing sustainability. Our prefabricated structures produce only 2.95 kg CO2 per kg of aluminium – far less than the European average of over 8 kg. And with our buildings designed to accommodate fully insulated roofs and solar panels, you can harness renewable energy while drastically cutting your carbon footprint.
2. Driving Change with Electric Vehicles
We’re committed to reducing carbon emissions not just in our buildings, but across our entire operation. That’s why our sales team drives electric vehicles with zero tailpipe emissions, showcasing our dedication to sustainability at every level of our business.
3. Flexibility Meets Reusability
Our temporary buildings are designed for a circular economy. Smart-Space modular structures can be relocated, dismantled, and reassembled with ease. This adaptability not only minimises waste but also saves businesses money as they evolve and grow.
4. Mega Space: Setting New Standards
Our Mega Space buildings are revolutionising energy efficiency in the UK. With some of the lowest U-values on the market, these structures offer exceptional thermal performance – essential for cold storage and logistics. Plus, they can be erected in just 6-8 weeks, getting your operations up and running faster than traditional builds.
Our Mega Space buildings can be installed on thinner concrete slabs or even asphalt, making them a practical choice for various sites.
Steve Hall, Operations Director at Smart-Space says “Our Mega Space buildings are not just efficient; they are designed for real-world applications. With their impressive thermal performance and rapid construction timeline, we are helping businesses meet their operational needs while ensuring flexibility across various sites. This combination is a game-changer for the industry.”

We know how crucial energy efficiency is for businesses. That’s why our high-performance insulation consistently exceeds European standards, translating into lower energy bills and less waste. It’s a win-win for the business’s bottom line and the environment.
6. Minimal Environmental Impact
By sourcing all our materials within the UK, we minimise transportation emissions and preserve the natural surroundings. Our structures require minimal groundwork, making them a less invasive option for your project site.
