Need a Temporary Building? Choose Modular

Clients often choose a temporary or relocatable modular building for a quick and convenient short-term solution to their space needs. Temporary modular buildings are built to the same high quality standards as permanent buildings but offer extreme speed and flexibility. These buildings are not site specific and can be easily disassembled, relocated and reconfigured for various uses.

Temporary modular buildings can be used as additions to existing structures or stand-alone buildings. For instance, a school may require a temporary modular classroom be placed on its campus until additions to its existing school are complete. This allows students and educators to continue learning without having to relocate off campus. Temporary buildings are great option for organizations undergoing large renovation projects or for those who are relocating and need a temporary location to house functions until the move is complete. In times of natural disaster, temporary modular buildings offer a quick and safe space for residents, businesses and clients rebuilding.

Many people dismiss the idea of temporary/relocatable modular buildings because they envision an outdated construction trailer. Although the industry can provide basic buildings upon the client’s need, modular construction has advanced tremendously. Temporary buildings can be single or multi-story and designed with a variety of interior and exterior finishes including basic aluminum siding or fiber cement siding with a brick finish. The next time you or your company are looking to expand, relocate or explore the capabilities of temporary modular buildings and minimize any down time during the construction phase.

Modular Housing Complexes for Oil and Gas Drilling Companies


Oil and gas drilling in North Dakota continues to grow and therefore attracts many people to the area for work. This population increase creates a demand for North Dakota housing. Modular construction is the fastest and most efficient building method for Bakken housing.

Modular homes in North Dakota can be built quickly, typically 30-50 percent faster than traditional construction. This provides a high-quality place for workers and their families to live within a short period of time. The modular construction process is also beneficial in North Dakota because of the cold winter months. Unlike traditional construction, modular construction is not subject to delays caused by poor weather conditions.

Although modular homes are built quickly, quality is not sacrificed. Great care is taken in constructing them. All of the building codes and standards that have been set for constructing a traditional home are followed and often surpassed during the construction of a modular home.

Modular homes are built inside a large factory building, ensuring high quality construction and protecting materials from outdoor elements. With the amount of workers, families and companies that are relocating to North Dakota, it is important to know that your home will be completed on time with modular construction.

With such a high demand for North Dakota housing, modular construction guarantees homes are built as quickly as possible without compromising the quality in construction.

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.
