Jackpad® Modular Building Foundations: A Proven Alternative to Concrete

modern temporary foundation systems building with wood cladding and branding

The market-leading Jackpad® system delivers strong, reusable modular building foundations that outperform concrete in key areas, including speed, flexibility and sustainability. Manufactured from recycled plastic and steel, the system has been fully designed and engineered to support single, double- or triple-storey modular building installations, and can be installed in all weather. Unlike traditional concrete foundations, Jackpad® requires no groundworks in most cases, and is adaptable to uneven levels and fall of ground.

When projects end, Jackpad® units can be removed and reused with minimal or no remedial works. Tested and approved for structural safety, Jackpad® offers a cost-effective solution for both temporary building foundations and long-term modular setups across sectors.
