At Jackpad®, we provide a proven non-invasive foundation system for modular buildings. The Jackpad® system helps streamline construction projects, removes the costly and time-consuming need to lay traditional concrete foundations, and can be reused for multiple projects, making it very sustainable.
As an added benefit, our Jackpad® foundation system is available to purchase outright or hire. But why choose one option over the other? If you’re looking to hire foundations for short-term needs or buy Jackpad® foundations for ongoing projects or specific needs, we’re here to explain the advantages of both.
Why Choose a Non Invasive Foundation System?
A non-invasive foundation system is defined as a foundation that can support buildings and structures without the need (in most cases) for excavation, alteration or laying of concrete. The Jackpad® system is non-invasive and provides key benefits over traditional, invasive foundations, including:
- Fast installation
- Eco-friendly and able to be reused and recycled
- Reduces onsite risks concerning the use of specialist tools and excavation machinery
- Lower overall costs for both hire and purchase options

The Advantages of Hiring the Jackpad® System
Let’s get into it. Hire Jackpad® foundations for these top advantages, including precise cost control and suitability for short-term needs.
Lower Upfront Investment
Many construction sites will hire modular buildings for short-term needs, so why not hire the Jackpad® foundations too? Hiring our non-invasive modular building foundations helps you save on upfront costs, and you only pay for exactly how many units you need and for how long, helping you manage budgets more efficiently.
Ideal for Short Term or Temporary Projects
Hire our Jackpad® system for quick and simple foundations for short-term needs. Modular buildings are often supplied for defined durations, be it for construction site accommodation, temporary classrooms or healthcare facilities. Even if foundation requirements need to adapt and expand, you can hire additional units and configure them far faster than altering your site with traditional concrete. Find out more about modular buildings to help you decide if this should be the right choice for your modular build here.
No Storage or Maintenance Requirements
Save on storage costs by hiring our Jackpad® foundation system. Once they are no longer needed, we’ll collect them, take them back to our site and remediate them for their next use, leaving all maintenance and storage to us.
Access to Expert Support
Your hired Jackpad® units will be configured based on the working load of your modular buildings. Discuss your project and we’ll provide the answers and hired foundations you need.
Simplified Project Take Down
Included in our hire service is efficient collection of the Jackpad® foundations. We remove them quickly to help you return your site to the original condition, and being non-invasive means any remedial work post-project completion is minimal.
The Advantages of Buying Jackpad Foundations
You can also buy Jackpad foundations outright, which may be the better option for certain projects and requirements. Here are the benefits of buying the Jackpad® system.
Long-Term Cost Efficiency
Your initial investment will be more than worthwhile as Jackpad® systems can be reused across multiple projects and sites, meaning with every use you gain a valuable return on investment.
Immediate Availability
While you’ll have to store your own units, you won’t have to wait for any transportation or supply of the systems and instead have the foundations you require then and there, helping to reduce project delays.
A Reusable Business Asset
As the units work on almost any type of surface and can be configured for uneven ground, you can reuse the Jackpad® system again and again, making them the ideal, adaptable foundation for your varied sites and projects.
Greater Operational Control
While our team is quick to deploy the units, buying Jackpad® foundations lets you deploy them on your exact schedule, helping you fine-tune timelines and schedules.
Consistent Performance Across Projects
The Jackpad® system has been utilised as a non-invasive foundation for over 25 years, and we have developed the design to be incredibly reliable and consistent for different sectors, including education and construction. After every use of your owned units, you’ll benefit from consistent and safe performance.
Sustainability Benefits
Whether you hire or buy Jackpad® foundations, both have the shared benefit of being highly sustainable.
Reusable Foundation System
Every Jackpad® unit, made up of three main components, can be reused and redeployed for future construction and modular building projects. This not only helps you save on costs, but also helps you promote sustainability for your projects.
Reduced Reliance On Concrete
Our foundations help you cut down on the need and use of concrete, and often means there is either little or no need for groundworks, both of which produce high amounts of carbon emissions.
Manufactured from Recycled Materials
Jackpad® units are manufactured from 100% recycled plastic and steel, both strong materials for repeated use and can be recycled at the end of their life.
Supports Environmental and ESG Goals
The construction and education sector is continuously striving for more eco-friendly processes and materials. Jackpad® has the solution to support and promote your environmental and ESG goals with our foundation system.
A Smarter Solution for Modern Modular Construction
Whether you hire Jackpad® foundations or purchase them outright, you gain the ideal alternative to traditional invasive foundations for modular buildings that help save you money, promote sustainability, are quick to deploy (we average 100 unit installs per day) and are suitable for almost all surfaces.
