If you need to add office space to a busy industrial space, every day of construction may delay operations. Traditional buildings can take months or years to complete, and this creates lots of unnecessary downtime. By choosing modular inplant offices, your building can be installed in just a fraction of the time. In this article, we’ll discuss the benefits of modular inplant offices, some of their applications, and more.
Benefits of Modular Inplant Offices
Modular inplant offices are becoming more than traditionally-built structures because they give businesses many advantages. Here are some of their main benefits:
1. Flexibility
Perhaps their biggest advantage is how flexible they are. They can be expanded, downsized, or moved to a different location altogether. (This is especially valuable to businesses that are growing or need to adapt often.) If you build an inplant office at a factory, but would later prefer it to be at your warehouse, our team can simply disassemble the structure and move it where you need.
2. Low Costs
Compared to traditional construction, modular offices cost less to build. This is because they are prefabricated, which means that many of the expenses associated with on-site construction disappear. When parts are made in a factory, the entire process becomes more efficient. Also, customers save money on labor and materials because modular construction requires fewer resources overall.
3. Quick Installation
With modular inplant offices, installation is fast. The prefabricated parts are delivered ready to assemble, with no need for prolonged on-site work (nobody likes listening to sawing sounds!). This is very helpful for businesses that cannot afford long disruptions.
4. Customization
They are also highly customizable. You can add features like insulation, HVAC systems, and soundproofing, among others, to create a space that best suits your business. Whether you need a traditional office, conference room, break room, or something else entirely, with modular buildings you can design the environment that you need.
5. Environmentally Friendly
Modular inplant offices significantly reduce waste during construction. A report from the Waste & Resources Action Program (WRAP) highlights that modular construction is capable of reducing waste from materials such as timber, cardboard, plastics, and concrete by as much as 90%, in comparison with the waste generated through conventional construction techniques.
Types of Modular Inplant Offices
At Allied Modular, we can design offices in a variety of styles. The right choice for your office will of course depend on the exact needs of your business, but here are some of the most common types that we see:
1. Single-Story Inplant Offices
These are great for companies that need a simple office within a larger facility, whether that be a warehouse or factory. Single-story offices can be used as training rooms, break rooms, conference rooms, and more.
2. Two-Story Inplant Offices
Two-story inplant offices can be great for businesses that need to make the most of their vertical space. This design is especially popular in places that do not have a lot of floor space available.
3. Mezzanine Modular Offices
Mezzanine offices can help you optimize space even better than multi-story offices. By using a mezzanine to place your office on, you can keep the ground floor beneath it open, and use it for storage or another application of your choosing. These are the best for businesses that are working with a very limited amount of ground space.
4. Soundproofed Offices
In a factory or warehouse, things can get loud and messy. To avoid such distractions, soundproofed offices can help create quiet spaces for meetings and administrative work. These environments, as we mentioned before, are highly customizable, which can help you create the most productive environment possible, even in busy places.
The Bottom Line
In short, modular inplant offices are a quick and painless solution for businesses that need to add office space fast, without delays and disruptions. They are flexible, low cost, and can be customized to make them fit your exact application.
