Temporary office buildings are important for businesses that undergo constant changes. That may mean sudden growth or changing locations, but in any case, it pays to have a space that can keep up. Renting a temporary office might work for a while, but if the future is uncertain, you may get stuck paying at high […]
Despite the improvement of modular techniques over the last few decades, many myths about it persist. An unfortunate fact is that, to the uninformed, modular means cheap, temporary, and plain. This type of misunderstanding can be expensive, too. It leads businesses to pay more for buildings that function the same, adds unnecessary time to construction, […]
Most people don’t realize that the construction industry produces a third of the world’s waste. Not to mention the recklessness with which it uses fuel and resources. In this guide, we’ll examine the most common alternative, modular construction. But how much better is it? And to what extent is it sustainable? Does it benefit the […]
A construction project often starts out with a clear plan. Then, at some point, some aspect falls behind, and a delay causes more delays. You’re hit with a change order, prices increase. What was supposed to take three months and within your budget turns into six, at a much higher price. What happened? With traditional […]
The most common answer you’ll get when asking how much a modular building costs is “it depends.” And while this is true, it’s nevertheless frustrating if you’re planning a new building and need to know whether it’s within your budget. Fortunately, though, it’s fairly straightforward to figure out a rough estimate (though we always recommend […]
In modern manufacturing, for better or worse, sometimes it doesn’t take too much to damage products. It could be because of a small change in temperature, a drop in humidity, or even because of small particles of dust. Our understanding of the environment has enabled us to create better products, but at the same time […]
There’s a common misconception that modular construction is temporary at best, and flimsy or low quality at worst. But this could not be further from the truth. These days, modular buildings are even used for applications like cleanrooms, which have incredibly high standards and don’t have a large margin for error. By the same token, […]
An office space should be more than four walls. Employees have to spend most of their lives in them, so it’s worth paying attention to things like the lighting, sounds (or lack thereof), and comfortable layouts so that ultimately, their jobs are performed well. Indoor modular offices make it easy to plan these little details […]
Everyone knows that warehouses can get cluttered. Inventory may be disorganized, workers may be scattered here and there, and equipment is often squeezed into tight places.

Many businesses want to add or section off space, but most are not willing to deal with the shutdowns necessary for a construction project.

Custom guard shacks (and even small ones) can send a clear message that you have eyes around the premises. They can also make your staff feel […]
Most warehouses waste a ton of vertical space. They are typically “crowded” in the sense that there’s not much room on the ground level, but all the space up top is not being used. Of course, companies don’t want to spend big on expansions or a move to another location, so often, the most logical […]
These days, modular buildings are everywhere, from school campuses to laboratories, retail spaces, and even cleanrooms.

Everyone knows that mezzanines can help add extra space at lower costs, especially compared to moving to a new location. What’s less clear is how much a mezzanine will actually cost. In fact, many manufacturers themselves may not be able to give you a range until they know your requirements. Luckily, we’ve been doing business […]
There are many businesses who want to go with modular offices over traditional buildings, but who have trouble determining what the exact costs should be.

In the past, drywall has been the go-to choice for walls. It’s familiar, relatively cheap upfront, and most people don’t question it; they see it as “permanent.” But that doesn’t mean it’s always the right choice, especially for businesses looking to grow quickly or make layout changes on the fly. Modular wall systems, however, are […]
Some people falsely believe that modular walls are flimsy or temporary, good for offices maybe, but not something you’d trust in important spaces. But this couldn’t be further from the truth. The best demonstration of what modular walls can handle can be glimpsed by looking at where they’re already being used: in places like hospitals, […]
Most people think that once a building goes up, the job is done. But unfortunately, buildings do not stay the same over time; they age, become worn, and as time passes, some parts may need to change. And when that time comes, the type of construction you chose at the start can either make things […]
A common myth that is circulated about modular walls is that they are weak. However, this is largely untrue, and it comes mostly from the fact that most people don’t know what they’re made of.

Everyone knows that space, or rather lack of it, is a constant complaint among retailers. Even when stores get more customers, inventory also has to grow.

Many businesses choose permanent walls for their warehouses because they believe that they are a stable, long-term solution.
