Are Modular Buildings a Good Choice for your Business?

Modular building is definitely gaining acceptance and even popularity among the construction industry. However, some business owners still question whether or not a modular building is the right choice for them. They often have to decide if it is more advantageous to embark in new construction or if they should rather direct their resources to expanding or improving their existing building. The modular construction process can be utilized in nearly every construction projects. But, sometimes the advantages to using a prefabricated building that is constructed off-site outweigh the disadvantages. Below are some instances in which modular building is the superior choice.

Quick Timeline

Modular construction is a very popular choice for educational buildings. This is because the construction of a modular building is done offsite and will not disrupt the learning or teaching of students and teachers. Modular buildings can be installed during the summer and completely up and running by the time school starts. Schools aren’t the only sector that can benefit from using modular buildings.

One of the main benefits of modular building is the fact that the site preparation and the actual construction can happen at the same time. While a crew is digging and pouring foundation, another crew can be constructing the actual module or building. Because of this the amount of time it takes to complete a project can be shortened by up to 50%. This allows businesses to be up and running in half the time.

Immediate Needs

Disasters happen due to reasons such as earthquake, hurricane, tornado, fire, or even a broken water pipes. Because of this, there are times when you need space quickly for offices, medical space, or even a classroom. But, these disasters make it impossible to wait for a construction timeline.

In this case, a used modular building is a great idea. This cuts out all design and production time and allows a building to be delivered, assembled, and ready to start using right away. There are many resources online that allow you to search through building inventory to find an option that works for you and the needs of your business. After you choose your building, you will sign a contract which will allow you to specify any design modifications needed. Your building will then be delivered and assembled sometimes in as little as 3 weeks.

These used modular buildings have become a great resource for relief efforts. They are the perfect building for an organization’s headquarters, a shelter, a place to serve food, community showers, and even a hospital.

Temporary Needs

Many businesses have a hard time dealing with the influx or decrease of employees or inventory. This is especially prevalent in businesses or organizations that operate seasonally. Sometimes, if a school or business is in the middle of renovations, they will need temporary office space or classrooms. Do you need a short-term space to house new employees while a permanent solution is undergoing constructions? A modular building that is temporary is a great solution. It will be delivered right to your location, assembled, and can be picked up when it is no longer needed.

Temporary in the modular building industry does not mean that the building will only be good for a short amount of time. It means that these modular buildings have been designed and constructed to be easily transportable and assembled. A temporary modular building can actually be used for as little as a few weeks to many years.

Modular Buildings Give Business Owners Flexibility

Modular buildings allow business owners the ability to customize their workplace to their needs. Business owners are able to expand and organize their businesses more quickly and easily. It also allows businesses the opportunity to start small with the option to add more modular buildings in the long run.

Modular buildings come in a wide range of sizes. A modular building can be as small as 200 square feet and as large as 20,000 square feet. The design of a modular building can be chosen to suit your business’ needs. For instance, a modular building can accommodate extra office space, conference rooms, lockers, or even extra restrooms.
