“Following the recent reports of possible high formaldehyde levels in some relocatable accommodation units supplied by another company and currently in use in the Northern Territory, We commissioned Simmonds and Bristow a well known and respected Scientific and Engineering Services provider to conduct independent air quality, specifically formaldehyde testing in some of our relocatable units.With the purpose of the units being for residential accommodation, the results were compared to the indoor air quality guidelines for formaldehyde. At present no indoor air quality guidelines exist specifically for formaldehyde. The interim indoor air quality guidelines released by the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) in 1996 have since been rescinded, but not replaced and are still referred to by industry due to the lack of current guidelines. The indoor air quality guideline in this publication was 0.1ppm. In 2006 the Department of Health and Ageing National Industrial Chemicals Notification and

Assessment Scheme (NICNAS) produced a report recommending a revised formaldehyde indoor air quality guideline of 0.08ppm.

 Based on the above guidelines (both the NHMRC 1996 - later rescinded and the NICNAS 2006 recommended) the formaldehyde measurements recorded in our units are below these guidelines.”

Did you know you can Buy Relocatable buildings from Buyashed.

Relocatable Buildings use new taller marine grade containers and are finished with the highest quality materials available. The buildings are robust, long lasting, energy efficient, and easy to transport by road, rail or ship. . We believe the difference with these buildings is the quality of the work completed by our dedicated team of qualified tradesman and builders.

Our buildings are easy to move, but designed to last for many years to come. All the plumbing and electrical is completed internally and all the kitchen and bathrooms are complete right down to your choice of floor coverings.

Relocatable buildings are manufactured from special corten marine grade steel. All our openings are cut but reinforced with RHS steel then sprayed with several coats of paint with thermal heat reduction qualities. Then after completing the wiring and plumbing we line the buildings with 75mm insulated panel on the ceilings and 50mm on the walls. Then quality kitchens are made to order and the bathroom fit out is then completed.

All our units have reverse cycle air-conditioning which are all contained within the building design together with the hot water system and switchboard. Our attractive vinyl and carpets are fitted last and are all of high commercial quality. All you need to do is to connect your external services and move your furniture in.
