Commercial & Residential Swing Spaces

Commercial & Residential Swing Spaces

A temporary modular building can serve as an emergency response facility, temporary office or classroom, or nerve center for a construction project. The term swing space refers to an area designated for use as a temporary work environment that is often used during renovation projects or as temporary space while a new facility is being built. School districts also use swing space when they have a problem of overcrowding or during renovation.

Modular buildings offer the flexibility of being reconfigured and reused for various needs. Because the leasing of temporary modular buildings is quite common, many companies have buildings available for immediate delivery and setup.

Built in a climate-controlled factory, modular buildings are designed for use in any type of environment. Modular buildings have heating and air conditioning ducts, and can be fitted with almost any appliance including stoves, furnaces, and refrigerators. Modular buildings can also be designed to have extra layers of insulation and higher roof loads that can withstand the weight of a heavy snowfall if needed.

These temporary building designs are user-friendly in that they have access for electricity, water, and sewer built right in. So long as the lessee has the proper permit for one of these structures, the actual mounting and tie-down, hooking up of utilities and inspection process is rather simple.

Companies in need of temporary office space or classrooms are encouraged to check out the variety of modular structures available. Using swing space is an economical way to keep business running smoothly during renovations and new construction. Best of all, the delivery and setup is part of the package offered by the modular building company.

Benefits of Modular Offices in North Dakota

Benefits of Modular Offices in North Dakota

Businesses that are in need of space in North Dakota should keep in mind the benefits gained through temporary modular office buildings.

Fast Construction

Building a traditional office can take many months to complete. A modular office on the other hand can take a few weeks. Best of all, its construction is usually completed off-site in a factory, meaning for businesses who are already up and running, there will be minimal disturbances.

Enhanced Flexibility

Many people are under the false impression that modular construction is limited. In fact, modular construction is flexible in terms of what can and cannot be built. Modular buildings can also be constructed to be reused if needed. Adding the ability to move the building to a new oil or gas field when necessary is an added benefit.

Built to Last

Modular offices in North Dakota are constructed to withstand all types of harsh weather. Because modular buildings need to be transported from the factory, builders use screws and commercial adhesives over nails to assemble the modular building. This ensures a building meets and often exceeds construction building codes.

No matter the reason for needing extra space, all businesses should consider the benefits gained from using modular offices. From fast construction to the ability to withstand harsh weather conditions, a modular office is a great solution to the space needs of any business in North Dakota.

Modular Hotels & Motels-The Latest Trend in the Hotel Industry

Modular Hotels & Motels

Modular construction is the newest method of construction in the hotel industry. This type of construction is ideal for start-up companies that want a faster return on their investment compared to the traditional construction of a hotel or motel. Modular construction allows companies to design single-story or multi-story accommodations with a variety of exterior and interior finishes to choose from.

Modular hotels and motels are more time efficient to construct because a majority of the construction takes place off-site. While the modular buildings are constructed in the factory by highly trained specialized workers, while the site preparation takes place. This includes the foundation and placement of utilities on-site.

With the construction of the modular units taking place in a climate-controlled facility, there is a reduced risk of delays which makes it easier to meet construction deadlines. Traditional hotel and motel construction schedules can take several more months to complete because of inclement weather. Because there is a 30 to 50 percent shorter construction period than traditional methods, modular construction allows companies to open hotels and motels earlier and start serving guests and generating revenue sooner.

Although modular motels and hotels take a shorter period of time to construct, they are made from quality materials. Being that the building is transported to the prepared location after completion, the quality of the construction has to be strong enough to be transported and survive outdoor elements. With building standards and codes put in place for all types of construction, all modular buildings meet or exceed these standards and codes.

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.

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.
