Top 7 Reasons to Use Commercial Modular Offices
Modular construction seems to be everyone’s go to construction option these days. Everywhere you look, you see more and more modular structures as traditional buildings are beginning to take the backseat. Healthcare institutions, schools, hotels and new offices in particular seem to be thriving with modular structures.
Wondering why all the hype? Here are 7 reasons:
1. Cost-effective to Build
Modular structures, offices or otherwise, are incredibly cost-effective to build. Since it is much quicker and much more efficient than traditional construction, labor costs and cost of materials is significantly lower. In fact, statistics have shown that in most cases, the construction cost goes down by approximately 5% to 20% depending on your design. Wondering what your new construction might cost you?

2. Speedy Construction
Modular construction is so named because it is built one module (unit) at a time in a controlled factory environment with strict attention to detail. While these modules are being built in the factory, the foundation is prepared on-site. So essentially, the two phases take place simultaneously. Once both are completed, it is just a matter of transporting the modules to the site and assembling the building.
This simultaneous construction results in you having your building ready in almost half the time it would have taken you otherwise (had you opted for traditional construction).
3. Top-notch Quality
The controlled factory environment makes it very easy to monitor the quality of materials being used as well as the quality of the final product. The individual parts of the modules are made by machines, thus eliminating any room for human error. The result is top quality modules made with high-end materials that are weather-resistant and easy to transport.
4. Incredible Range of Flexibility
With modular buildings, you have a large range of options to choose from (depending on the duration of your building needs and your budget). You can choose to rent or lease a job site trailer, or even buy a modular space, depending on whether your need is temporary or permanent.
Modular buildings can also be relocated easily at an affordable rate (should you decide to move or expand your enterprise) — hence the term “mobile offices”.
5. Can Be Customized to Your Specific Needs
Whether you choose to buy or rent a modular space, these units are designed in such a way that they can always be customized to your needs. Even if you acquire a pre-owned space, you can easily install cubicles, offices, lounges, kitchens — you name it — in just a matter of days.
6. Easy Extension and Modification without Demolition
Because of their design, all modular buildings have room for expansion or modification. If you already have an office space, and if you need to expand or modify it, modular structures give you the chance to make quick enhancements in no time.
The best thing about modular structures is that there is no demolition. When you no longer require the structure, it is as simple as dismantling and relocating it. And even if you get mobile offices for rent, there is always room for expansion or modification. Modular structures are always built keeping in mind a potential need for expansion.
7. Impact on the Environment
Modular buildings create less of a negative impact on the environment than traditional structures. For one, construction wastes in modular buildings are almost negligible. Even when the time comes to “tear down” a modular structure, there is no debris. It is simply modified or re-purposed and used elsewhere.
Furthermore, modular structures are made in a factory environment which ensures that resources are used efficiently without any waste.
Modular structures are also predesigned in a way that it is easy to install energy-efficient systems like solar panels, high-end HVAC systems, and energy-efficient glass which significantly lower the running costs of the building, and also preserve the environment around them in the long run.
So now that you have all the information, I hope that these 7 reasons have convinced you to go modular. Save time, save money, and most of all, save the environment with modular offices!
