Modular construction is perfect for your next commercial building project. Whether you're looking to build a brand new modular office building, add a modular enclosure to a pre-existing building, or simply order a temporary construction site office, modular construction will work for you.
Below are the top ten reasons why we think you should choose modular construction for your next commercial building project.
Cost-Efficiency – Money can be saved in several areas as a result of off-site construction. Firstly, because you pay for less labour and fewer assembling hands. Second, because the factories are able to purchase products in bulk, which leads to bigger savings for you.
Speed – Your commercial modular building will typically be ready for delivery within 45 days of the order being placed. This could prove to be vital for anyone hoping to occupy office space within a short amount of time.
Off-Site Construction – Modular construction takes place off site, in a controlled factory environment, which means less hassle for you, as well as limited disturbance to any pre-existing buildings
High Completion Rate – Up to 90% of your modular building can be built and assembled in the factory. This includes walls, windows and doors, yes, but also electrical outfits, plumbing and mechanical finishes. This can be a big time saver for your commercial building, and means that you can occupy your modular office building sooner, and get your operations off the ground faster.
Strength – Modular buildings are built with the best materials available. They are designed to withstand damage, and are known to stand the test of time.
Ability to Relocate – Whether permanent or temporary, modular buildings are built to withstand the process of relocation. Of course, temporary (or portable) modular buildings are going to be easier to relocate. This is ideal if you are looking for temporary office space, such as a portable construction site office.
Expansion Options – Modular buildings are designed to withstand extra expansion even after construction. Need an extra wing on that modular sales office? Not a problem. Most wall panels are interchangeable, and with the right equipment, the process is relatively cheap and easy.
Design Options – Gone are the days of limited design options. Today, it's possible to incorporate concrete, steel, brick and other masonry into your exterior or interior design, perfect for giving your commercial modular building a modern look and feel.
Tax Breaks – There are some beneficial tax breaks available to modular construction, as well as favourable depreciation rules. While more conventional buildings require over 30 years, most modular buildings qualify for a seven year depreciation period.
Green – Choosing modular construction is a green decision. Because construction takes place in doors, off-site, there is less dust and fewer pollutants in the air, as well as reduced site disturbance and erosion. Choosing modular means choosing sustainability.
