Why Choose Premex as Your Temporary Exam Booth Builders?

Temporary exam booths are not standard office partitions. They must meet strict regulations, provide complete visual privacy, and be installed with minimal disruption. As dedicated temporary exam booth builders, we understand these unique demands:

Exam‑Specific Expertise: We don’t just build booths – we build assessment environments. Our layouts follow JCQ guidance on desk spacing, invigilator sightlines, and secure paper storage.
Rapid Deployment: Most projects are installed within 2‑5 days from site survey. We’ve delivered for last‑minute venue changes, RAAC‑related emergencies, and unexpected spikes in candidate numbers.
Truly Temporary: Our systems are designed to be installed quickly and removed just as fast. No construction dust, no structural changes, and no long‑term commitment.
Built for Privacy and Security: Full‑height or half‑height wall panels create genuine individual workspaces. Candidates cannot see each other’s answers, and invigilators have clear sightlines down every aisle.

“Premex turned our sports hall into a 200‑booth exam venue in just 48 hours. The install was seamless, the candidates felt secure, and the dismantle was even faster.”
— Exams Officer, UK University

Designed for Regulation‑Ready Exam Environments

When you hire temporary exam booth builders, compliance is non‑negotiable. Our booth systems are developed with the UK’s Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ) framework in mind, and we work to help your venue meet critical standards:

JCQ Alignment: We design our layouts to support the guidance set out in JCQ’s Instructions for Conducting Examinations (ICE), which covers desk layouts, invigilator access, and secure paper storage.
Privacy Without Isolation: Our wall panels provide effective visual separation so candidates cannot see each other’s work, while still allowing invigilators to monitor the room.
Fire Safety First: All materials we use meet UK fire safety standards (BS 476 or EN 13501‑1). We conduct full risk assessments and maintain clear emergency evacuation routes in every layout.
Accessibility Ready: Wide aisles and accessible booths comply with the Equality Act 2010, including designated spaces for wheelchair users and candidates with access arrangements.

For official guidance, refer to the JCQ Instructions for Conducting Examinations and the HSE’s Temporary Demountable Structures guidance.

The Premex Process – From Empty Room to Exam Hall

We provide a complete, end‑to‑end service. Here’s how our temporary exam booth builders deliver for you:

Site Survey: We attend your venue to measure the space, check floor loadings, power supply, and access points.
3D Design & Quotation: Our team creates a detailed layout plan showing booth positions, aisle widths, invigilator zones, and signage locations. You receive a fixed‑price quote.
Logistics & Compliance: We handle venue liaison, risk assessments, method statements, and public liability insurance.
Installation: Our experienced crew installs the modular booth system, including desks, chairs, and wayfinding signs – with no damage to your existing floors or walls.
Support: We remain on standby throughout your exam period to address any issues.
Dismantle & Clearance: After your exams, we remove every component and leave your venue exactly as we found it.

Case Study – Emergency Exam Hall for University

The Challenge: A Russell Group university lost access to its main exam hall just three weeks before the summer examination period due to an unforeseen RAAC issue. With over 400 students scheduled for high‑stakes assessments, the university needed a secure, compliant temporary solution – fast.

The Solution: Premex was engaged as temporary exam booth builders. Within 48 hours of the initial site visit, our team:

Surveyed a large sports hall on campus.
Designed a layout for 220 individual booths, plus invigilator zones, registration desks, and accessible spaces.
Installed a full modular shell‑scheme system with half‑height wall panels, desks, chairs, and wayfinding signage.

The Result: The exam hall was ready for use within five days of the first call. The university ran its entire summer examination schedule without disruption. After the exam period, we dismantled and removed the entire installation in under 48 hours, returning the sports hall to its original condition.
