Relocatable classrooms and daycares
Saskatchewan pays for relocatable classrooms through its Relocatable Classroom Program, which school divisions apply to every year. The 2025-26 round is $28.5 million for 39 new relocatable classrooms and two moves, and Saskatoon, Clavet and Corman Park are among the places it serves. Divisions post their public competitions on SaskTenders.
Classrooms go in over the summer, so a building for a Saskatoon-area school has to be finished before the school year ends, which puts the manufacturing in the winter and spring. Building indoors at Zehner is what lets that work carry on through a prairie winter. How each province funds and buys classrooms is set out in how prairie provinces buy modular classrooms.
The same line builds daycares for 30 to 47, 65 to 82 and 90 children, and modular additions to an existing building. The steps from licence to opening day are in opening a modular daycare in Saskatchewan, and the full range is on modular daycares and schools.
Offices, site offices and washrooms
For a Saskatoon business, a yard or a construction site, the catalogue has three office sizes:
- Office, 55' × 18': five offices, a boardroom and a kitchenette.
- Site office, 40' × 18': the standard office for a project site or a lease.
- Safety office, 30' × 14': two offices and storage.
An office that stays put sets on a permanent foundation; one that follows the work goes on a steel skid with its plumbing, electrical and HVAC self-contained. The sizes and the choice between skid and foundation are covered in modular office buildings: three sizes explained.
Public washroom buildings come from the same plant in nine barrier-free configurations, like the Ministry of Highways washroom and the Lake Diefenbaker resort building shown below. See modular washroom and shower buildings.
Built at Zehner, about 260 km away
Every building for Saskatoon is framed, wired and finished inside the 35,000 sq ft Zehner plant, the same plant that builds for Regina, twenty minutes to its south. Finished units are staged in the 4.5-acre yard on site, then trucked about 260 km to Saskatoon and set in days.
The Regina side of the same plant is on commercial modular buildings in Regina, and the facilities are listed on our locations page.
