8 Ways Modular Offices Smooth Your Relocation/Renovation Process

Quick Up & Down Installation Makes Modular Buildings a Go-To for Relocation & Renovation Projects

Modular offices are cost-effective spaces for short- or long-term plant and warehouse activities. You can design your modular space for personnel use, manufacturing, lab or clean room activity, storage, robot operation, and more. One of the most significant benefits of modular offices is how quickly the space is constructed and, alternatively, relocated if needed. Unlike stick-built structures, modular buildings are prefabricated for quick assembly on-site vs. a long, costly construction project.

If change is coming to your facility in the form of relocation or renovation, consider how modular spaces may be the best way to temper operational disruption.

8 Benefits of Choosing Modular Offices for a Smooth Transition

1. Mitigate renovation disruptions – There are ebbs and flows in warehousing, and sometimes change is significant enough to modify your warehouse layout or processes. Don’t let operational efficiency and oversight take a hit –modular buildings help you keep your staff safely working through your renovation. They go up quickly and are easy to relocate as the process evolves.
2. Growth or downsizing – Outgrowing a location due to growth is a good thing, but moving your operation can be a huge hassle. With modular offices, this doesn’t have to be the case –simply take them with you. You won’t need new plans, permits, or approvals because they are considered company equipment and not permanent structures. You can even modify your existing modular office for a new purpose at your new facility. If you no longer need your modular space, it can be sold like any other company asset.
3. Good for the environment – 95% of the materials are reused when a modular building is relocated; thus, less waste is generated vs. renovating a permanent structure. 
4. Time savings – If you need to quickly set up a remote building (storage, office, or workshop), a pre-assembled modular office is the right choice. They are prefabricated and have a shorter project schedule –usually meaning they can be delivered in a few weeks vs. a few months.
5. Cost savings & Tax benefits – Purchasing a modular office is cheaper in the long run than leasing or buying a building. You can avoid the headaches of stringent rental or lease agreements and run an efficient operation using flexible, customized space. Additionally, offices, cleanrooms, or controlled environments built with modular construction can depreciate in 7 years vs. 39 for traditional construction. Lastly, the current Tax Cuts & Jobs Act (as of 2018) allows businesses to write off 100% of the cost of modular buildings being installed in the same year.
6. Customization – Modular offices are fully-customizable and can be built to any specifications and installed inside or outside your facility. Equip your modular space with basic features all the way to full customization to meet your needs. Use your modular offices for anything from break rooms, clean rooms, robotic enclosures, office space, cooling rooms, CMM rooms, or C suites.
7. Pre-assembly – You can order a new modular space pre-assembled and ready to use. They are made on a forklift-ready base to move anywhere inside or outside your facility quickly. Moving a unit is as simple as disconnecting the power and picking it up with a forklift – no contractors required. Guard booths can be configured with pre-installed bathrooms and HVAC ready to plug and play upon delivery.
8. Adaptability – Times change as well as design needs, but this is not an issue with modular offices. Simply reconfigure or add onto your space to fit your new purpose. Add features to accommodate needs such as filtration, temperature, and storage.
