Versatility and Convenience in Modular Buildings


The multifaceted conveniences of modular or prefabricated buildings make them the perfect choice for use as healthcare facilities or any size correctional institution. Modular construction is excellent for permanent or temporary uses. Adaptable design features allow for single story or multiple level buildings that can be a single unit or part of a large complex such as in multi-officecomplexes. Production of prefabricated buildings occurs off-site which reduces product waste and completion time since weather is not a factor.

Prefab construction allows for greater versatility when designing prison cells or detention areas in a correctional institution. A custom layout can be built that meets the requirements of each correctional center, no matter the size. For example the Redlands, CA Police Department had a modular building built to house their holding cells, interrogation rooms, evidence room and a fingerprint, photos and breathalyzer area.

Additionally, hallways, kitchens and reception areas within buildings can be positioned for optimal function for the staff at healthcare facilities and correctional institutions. The expedient nature of prefab construction makes modular buildings a convenient choice for new or expanding correctional institutes and health clinics. If the building needs to be moved after use, the mobility of modular construction makes transportation to a new site quick and easy.

Energy efficient and quiet design options are easily incorporated into prefab construction when filling the requirements of healthcare facilities including diagnostic offices, labs or clinics. The need for temporary structures such as a guard post or an overflow center for a large correctional institution can be quickly met with modular buildings. They also fulfill the demand for temporary facilities when there are renovations or repairs being made to existing structures.
