Modular Construction: Why it’s Right for Gas Stations and Convenience Stores

Why it’s Right for Gas Stations and Convenience Stores

The reference to “modular” as it relates to the construction and building world doesn’t actually have anything to do with a particular “style”– interestingly; it refers to a construction method that has the ability to enhance efficiency while reducing risk. Further still, modular construction boasts additional benefits such as quality control, reduced construction traffic and noise, less waste, stronger and more durable structures, energy efficient approaches, enhanced construction speed and more.

While the modular concept in building isn’t a new one, the benefits of choosing modular construction for gas stations and convenience stores have been a recent hot topic. Many times, structures and projects such as these require custom approaches in terms of design so that the customer meets specific corporate guidelines – further; the stores need to match other stores with regard to cohesiveness within brand while blending in with the surrounding areas and architectural décor. This is where modular convenience stores, gas stations and construction come into play.

Modular building techniques have a tendency to eliminate additional expenses by bringing fewer workers and less equipment to the job site. It’s no secret that costs can rocket upwards when considering the long-term on-site work crews required for “stick-built” construction because of the phasing of the installation with underground gas tanks, foundations and ultimately the structure/building.

With modular construction, underground gas tanks, site grading and utilities can be prepared at the same time the buildings are constructed at the factory. Construction delays are minimized because the buildings are constructed indoors. Although these buildings are built quickly, there is no sacrifice in quality. These prefabricated buildings are constructed by highly trained workers and meet or exceed building codes and standards.

Some industry experts call this “paying the lower price for ‘true-cost’ construction,” but no matter how it’s looked at, modular convenience stores and gas stations offer convenient and cost-effective solutions in a modern day construction climate.

Modular Construction-The Fastest Way to Build

Modular Construction-The Fastest Way Build

Traditional building timelines can be long, rigid, and unpredictable. Modular construction offers ways to obtain quality end results in an efficient yet abbreviated time frame.

Weather often plays an important and many times detrimental role in the timeline and efficiency of typical building schedules. With modular construction, weather is irrelevant because of the carefully controlled factory settings where modular buildings are expertly constructed. Quality control is easier to enforce in a closely supervised factory setting. Craftsman can also work more quickly and productively in a temperature regulated environment than they can when working out in the elements.

In outdoor environments, security can also be hard to guarantee. Vandalism and material shortages can lead to even more delays in the building process. Prefab homes are essentially complete at the time of arrival, and sections or modules can quickly and securely be put into place. Prefab construction directly correlates with having specific and reliable move in dates, which also proves beneficial for being able to smoothly oversee the safe transportation of possessions.

If home builders have a change of heart regarding needs or wants for the layout and features of their new home, customizations can be accommodated at the factory, without adding stress and time to the building project. Modular construction offers the opportunity to reconfigure the building without the major headaches and hassles associated with reconfiguring or relocating stick built structures.

There is a lot to like about this innovative, fast, and environmentally friendly mode of construction.

Modular Green Construction

Green Modular Construction

Since “going green” is on the mind of most consumers, businesses are feeling the pressure of turning their company green. A daunting task for business owners when going green is making sure that their new stores, buildings, offices, and homes are environmentally friendly. With today’s advances, there are green construction solutions readily available. Green construction can fit the budgetary needs of these businesses while insuring the public they are environmentally conscience.

Businesses that are committed to going “green” should consider using green modular units. With modular construction time 40 % faster than traditional construction, a project manager can have a green project delivered and installed much faster compared to building onsite.

When a company consults with a green builder, the builder already understands how environmentally conscious buildings should be constructed. By using a green modular building, the construction would take place in a climate controlled facility that would reduce on-site waste and minimize the impact on the environment. With green modular construction using upgraded insulation and high efficiency fixtures, the green unit becomes energy efficient and reduces the monthly utility expenses and use of natural resources.

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.
