Modular Educational Buildings

When constructing a new educational facility, consider modular construction as a possible building option. Modular construction is perfect for building a new school building, daycare centre, or dormitories. As well, modular construction can prove to be vital when building expansions, such as new classroom wings, administrative offices, or gymnasiums. Modular construction is capable of tackling all these projects.

Here are the top 10 reasons why we think modular construction is right for your next Education/Childcare building project.

Ten Reasons to Consider Modular for Educational Applications

1. Off-Site Construction – With modular construction, almost all of the assembly process takes place off-site, in a controlled factory environment. Not only does this mean less hassle for you, but also limited disturbance to the surrounding neighbourhood in which your educational building is being built.

2. Cost-Efficiency – With modular construction, money can be saved in several areas because of the off-site construction. Not only are you paying for less labour and fewer working hands, but also the factories are paying less for its products when compared to more conventional construction, because they're able to purchase its products in bulk. Rest assured, your wallet will feel these savings on both end.

3. High Completion Rate – For most modular buildings, up to 90% can be built in the factory. But this doesn't just include walls, windows and door frames; electrical outfits, plumbing and mechanical finishes are all assembled at the factory, which can save a lot of time and money. Modular construction means avoiding lengthy delays, and your educational building will be up and running much faster than if you choose more conventional building methods.

4. Expansion Options – Need an extra classroom wing? Not a problem! Modular construction is perfect for expansion off pre-existing buildings, and it's a relatively easy process. Not only this, but modular buildings are designed to withstand extra expansion even after construction.

5. Speed – For the most part, modular buildings are mapped out, constructed and ready to deliver within 45 days of the order being placed. This quick assembly time could prove to be vital to anyone hoping to have their educational building fully functional within a short amount of time.

6. Design Options – Modular construction continues to expand and evolve. Today, it's possible to incorporate all sorts of masonry into the exterior and interior design, including concrete, steel and brick.

7. Strength – Your modular building will be built with the best materials available. Modular buildings are designed to withstand damage, and are known to last for long periods of time.

8. Ability to Relocate – You may not be planning on relocating your educational building just yet, but know that relocation is possible. Even if your modular building has been built on a permanent foundation, they are designed to endure multiple relocations.

9. Tax Breaks – There are some favourable tax breaks available to modular construction, including depreciation rules. Most modular buildings qualify for a seven year depreciation period, compared to over 30 years for conventional buildings.

10. Green – Most people are conscious of their decisions these days, and how those decisions affect our planet. Modular construction is green construction. Because construction takes place in doors, off-site, there are less pollutants in the air, and reduced site disturbance. When you pick modular, you pick green.
