Outgrown Your Space? Portable Offices to the Rescue
Business is booming and you’ve outgrown your office space.
Conventional brick-and-mortar construction is expensive and time-consuming, but there is a cost-effective alternative. Whether your need for more office space is short term, long term, or permanent, portable offices may be the key to expanding your facilities quickly without breaking the bank. They can be used anywhere temporary space is required, but can also be used for long-term or permanent space.
Mobile offices can be configured in nearly any imaginable design, from simple single-story buildings to whole complexes. Façades can be finished in cut stone, brick, stucco, siding, and many other finishes to complement the surrounding environment and nearby structures. Choose from standard floor plans or get creative and design a custom structure to get exactly what you need.
Modular buildings are particularly well-suited to:
- sales offices
- bank branches
- law offices
- real estate offices
- jobsite management offices
- executive suites
- health clinics and labs
- dialysis centers
- dental offices
- chiropractic offices
- hiring centers
- mobile swing space
Factory-built modules are designed, engineered, fabricated and transported to your site for assembly to create the extra office space you need in a very short time. When the modules leave the factory, they have been engineered so that stairwells, heating and air conditioning, plumbing, electrical lines and other systems are already in place, and quality control inspections are completed before delivery.
The components travel by road from the production plant to the construction site in a few days, are positioned onto the prepared foundation with a crane or truck, and then seamed together. Once assembled, landscaping, paving and signage can be added while telecommunications and furnishings are installed inside. In general, all of this can be accomplished in about half the time of traditional design-bid-build construction.
Today’s state-of-the-art design and construction technologies can create fast solutions at a fraction of the cost of traditional construction. Options such as concrete board siding, crown molding, tile flooring, and 9-foot ceilings, can transform modular offices from ordinary to distinctive. To maximize sustainability and save energy, opt for enhancements such as triple-glazed windows, energy-efficient utilities, eco-friendly insulation, no-VOC or low-VOC interior wall and floor treatments, and Energy Star appliances.
Modules are built to the same standards as stick-built structures and adhere to the same building and occupancy codes. Because they must be transported by truck to the construction site, extra attention is paid to their ability to withstand wind and poor weather along the way, making them very strong. With proper care and maintenance, modular buildings can last 25 to 30 years, and may last longer when permanently installed.
