Modular Emergency Housing

Modular Emergency Housing

Modular emergency housing is a necessary resource after building, fires and natural disasters. Unfortunately, there are many times that people have been evacuated from their homes and are in need of a place to stay until it is safe for them to return. In certain cases, people who must rebuild their homes need a long term housing solution. In response to these situations, modular housing can be swiftly installed to aid any who have been affected.

Modular Units Can Be Installed Quickly

Having teams ready to build shelters might be a wonderful thing, but they cannot build a shelter as quickly as a modular unit can be deployed and installed. Modular units are the backbone of quick housing because they can allow emergency response teams to house those in need within a matter of days. By having the modular units constructed in a climate controlled facility, any construction delays due to poor weather are minimized.

Modular Units Can Be Deployed Anywhere

With modular units available, modular units can be deployed and installed practically anywhere. A modular home can be delivered and set-up in just about any location. Being readily available, modular units help emergency responders to reach residents regardless of where they are located.

Modular Units Are Actual Homes

In the light of the situation people find themselves in after an emergency, people have a tendency of comparing a modular home to a trailer. What people should realize is a modular home is an actual house. People who are in a crisis can rest assure that they will be staying in a real home while they wait to return to their own. This may not be the ideal situation, but comfort can be found when sleeping in a house rather than something that feels like a shelter.

Modular emergency housing is a solution that is necessary for certain catastrophic events and the families who need these housing solutions will certainly be thankful for their quick deployment and setup.

Modular Medical Facilities-The Latest Trend in Healthcare Construction

Modular Healthcare Construction

With the technological advances in prefabricated construction, it is not surprising that modular medical facilities have become a growing trend. The advantages in modular construction include faster completion, a quality final product, and the option of portability if needed. As more and more medical companies utilize the structures, modular buildings have become more recognizable for their design possibilities and long term durability.

Faster Finish

Modular construction can be more time efficient compared to traditional construction. While the modules are constructed offsite at a climate controlled facility, the site preparation is being completed. After the completion of the modular buildings and site preparation, the buildings are then moved to the site and assembled. With minimal disruption or pollution to the healthcare construction site, there is less cleanup and construction traffic. This is particularly desirable when adding a building to an already busy area.

Climate-controlled Materials

No matter how advanced the construction method is there is no guarantee that every material has been kept free of moisture. In a modular building factory all materials are kept in a climate-controlled environment. Lumber and other materials are kept clean and dry and the environment impact on site is minimized. Construction within the controlled factory environments minimizes weather delays and allows for precise construction, resourcefulness and quality control.

Modern Exterior

Whether the project is for a clinic, laboratory, dentist office or a diagnostic center, the modular building exteriors can offer any look that the client prefers. The exteriors can be brick, stucco, cedar or other woods with an option of double pane windows that can add extra insulation. With other exterior options such as shutters, awnings, decks and landscaping, the building exterior can coordinate with existing buildings to provide continuity.

Modular construction truly does offer the best solution in healthcare construction.

Portable Office Buildings-The Mobile Space Solution

Mobile Space Solution

A portable office provides effective and useful space for a business and/or organization. With logical, useful designs and customized layouts, a mobile office can be installed in a short period of time.

Because the building is a temporary office, there is the promise of portability when the office space is no longer needed. This does not mean that the buildings are just trailers in disguise; they are real building units that range in size from small one room buildings to large multi-story buildings.

These modern office structures are not limited to aluminum siding and can be customized depending on the different needs of the company and the location’s aesthetics. A mobile office can add critical office space when a busy office suddenly outgrows its permanent home. Many businesses find it cost effective to utilize a modular building during a renovation. The floor plan of temporary offices can be configured to meets a company’s specific need. These configurations include different sized rooms, bathrooms, handicapped-accessibility, and divided office space.

With flexibility in size and features, a temporary office is a good choice for field offices. Modular units offer configurations to accommodate all types of worksite operations and can be placed at construction, mining, drilling and disaster recovery sites. These temporary offices can offer a place for planning, operational decision-making and meetings.

Like a traditional office, mobile offices can provide a positive work environment where staff can buckle down and get their work done.

Can a Modular Home be Green and Attractive?

Green Modular Home

Prefabricated homes are quickly becoming one of the first options that environmentally conscious, fashion forward people turn too when choosing their dream homes. Green construction has come very far in a relatively short time. Thanks to recent advancements in environmentally friendly home design, today’s homeowners have access to an impressive selection of modular homes that are both earth friendly and pleasing to the eye.

More people than ever are showing an interest in modular homes as well as sustainable living. New generations of designers and architects have led a revolution in prefabricated home design to meet the needs of a demanding marketplace. Prefabricated home designs can match the many design options available to site-built homeowners.

As a result, there is now an incredible variety of prefab home designs available that allow consumers to choose a dream home that matches their tastes perfectly. At the same time, they can take their pick of earth friendly building materials that demonstrate their commitment to sustainable living without sacrificing the design.

Rural residents can take advantage of green construction benefits. Homes can be constructed with energy efficient fixtures and recycled materials. Choosing green construction for your home can also result in decreased product waste and pollution, limited site disruption and minimal environmental impact.

Modular homes are primarily constructed indoors, in a climate-controlled factory setting. This allows for more precise construction and fewer site disturbances. As modules are being constructed indoors, site work commences simultaneously to allow for a more efficient process and a shorter construction timeline.

In addition to single family modular homes, green technology can be used in creating modular multi-family housing structures like apartment complexes, condominiums and even hotels and motels using the off-site building methods which promote efficiency not available with most other multi-family construction methods.

Today, more people than ever are thinking green and realizing the real world benefits that prefabricated homes have to offer. Green living with modular homes offers a lot of exciting options to homeowners. Environmentally sustainable prefab home design is set to improve and continue for many years to come.

Modular Classrooms - A Solution for School Overcrowding

Modular Classroom

Originally, modular classrooms were designed for temporary use with the ability to be relocated from one campus to another as needed. Typically, they were purely functional buildings with few aesthetic features. As time passed and the need for a solution to overcrowding became widespread, portable classrooms were redesigned.

Today, many of these classrooms have even become permanent solutions to overcrowded campuses. In fact, mobile classrooms offer valuable teaching space that can help schools and children grow academically. This is just one of the many wonderful benefits to mobile classrooms. Listed below are additional advantages.

Budget-Friendly

Perhaps the best benefit of portable classrooms is their cost effectiveness. Because modular buildings are constructed offsite in a controlled factory environment while the site work is taking place, prefabricated buildings can be completed up to 40% faster. This saves time and money. Investing in mobile buildings is a great option for school districts as they result in shorter construction timelines and earlier occupancy.

A prefabricated classroom is carefully built and can be used as a temporary solution, permanent teaching space or relocated to another campus as space needs change.

Custom-Designed

Another great benefit of mobile classrooms is that they can be custom-designed to meet any school's unique needs. Temporary classrooms are no longer plain box-like rooms with one standard size. Today, they are quite attractive and can be designed in a variety of sizes to accommodate a school’s specific requirements.

Modular classrooms have a lot to offer to educational facilities that are faced with overcrowding. Not only do they provide a temporary or permanent solution to overcrowding in schools, but they are also affordable and can be assembled on-site in a short period of time.

Permanent vs. Temporary Modular Buildings

Permanent vs. Temporary Modular Buildings

Temporary and permanent modular buildings serve similar functions, but are different building types. Both are constructed offsite in a controlled factory environment. Making the choice between a permanent modular building and a temporary modular building will depend on the customer’s needs, budget, and architectural preference.

Construction Process

Modular construction is up to 40 percent faster and is very cost-effective when compared to standard construction. When done with high-quality materials, the finished product is difficult to distinguish from a traditional building, and has the same longevity.

Temporary vs. Permanent

The main benefit of a temporary modular building is the ease with which it can be moved. The portable type is often used for temporary space when schools are expanding or offices are renovating. Temporary buildings are also a great solution for space during disaster recovery. Permanent modular buildings are more suited for situations where the building will not need to be relocated such as hospitals, dorms, hotels and housing.

Design and Value

Permanent modular buildings can be custom-designed, making them look the same as a conventional building when completed. Temporary buildings can also be custom designed to meet the needs of any customer. In addition, pre-leased buildings can be used when a customer is looking for a temporary solution. Pre-leased buildings are available for immediate delivery and can be refurbished to meet individual needs. Modular construction is a practical and economical choice for your temporary or permanent building needs.

Modular Construction for Restaurants and Diners

Modular Construction for Restaurants and Diners

Building a brand new restaurant or diner might feel like a large undertaking. However, with the modular construction process, modular restaurants or modular diners can be constructed much faster and more efficiently.

Modular construction can be used in new restaurant or diner construction or can be added to an expanding business. Instead of having to complete a structure from top to bottom, a modular is placed to fill a particular need for the structure itself. Smaller diners may only need a kitchen unit, an office unit or an extra space for seating customers. Re-locatable or temporary modular structures may be the perfect solution.

A franchise may want to open an additional new location. They would benefit greatly from the speed of modular construction.

No matter your modular restaurant or diner need, modular construction will offer the greatest advantage to your business- speed. Because factory construction and site work occur simultaneously, restaurants and diners can open or expand quickly and start generating revenue sooner.

Consider the savings. Construction crews don't have to be on site for weeks or months on end, costing money for every hour of labor. There are no construction delays due to poor weather and the prefab structure goes up so fast that money can be made sooner, not later.

Using modular construction to build a restaurant or diner will be the wave of the future. Modular units can be affordable and they allow restaurant owners to open their doors faster than any other construction method.
