Modular structures have come a long way in recent years, emerging as a superior and quick solution for diverse business needs. SiteBox Storage, while known for having one of the largest fleets of ground-level container storage in the Midwest, is also a purveyor of modular mobile offices, as well as office and storage combo units. They've been used for worksite offices on construction sites, mobile medical units, event green rooms, or prep rooms, and a variety of other capacities. The company also has a few custom modular options for customers who require something a little more tailored to their needs.
The fact is, modular structures offer greater convenience, flexibility, and efficiency than ever before. In this article, we'll take a closer look at the benefits and innovations of modular construction, and explore why it's becoming an increasingly popular choice for businesses across a wide range of industries.
Benefit #1: Faster Project Timelines With Modular Buildings
One of the biggest advantages of a modular structure is its ability to accommodate tighter schedules. With typical mobile offices, this is easy! Once you find the building in stock, it can be delivered for use on practically any level surface - gravel, dirt, or a concrete pad. Then, connections are made to electric and communications. (For these types of projects, even renting a mobile office is a possibility.)
But, if you need something a little bit more than the drop-and-go concept of a mobile office, buying a custom modular solution is another option. SiteBox Storage sells nine common layouts in customized modular units:
- 10’ Laboratory
- 20’ Mobile Office with Restroom
- 40’ Mobile Office with Restroom
- 20’ Restroom Unit
- 40’ Restroom Unit with Locker Rooms
- 20’ Data Center
- 20’ Guard Shack with Turnstile Option
- 40’ Tool Crib
- 40’ Multi-Section (Mostly Open Concept)
Because the work is completed away from your worksite, there are no construction delays. This means you can get up and running much more quickly and efficiently, without sacrificing your time.
Benefit #2: Efficient Modular Manufacturing Processes
Modular construction techniques vary greatly depending on the design. Some utilize an assembly-line manufacturing process, resulting in efficiency and consistency. Some modules, like those from SiteBox Storage, start out as one-trip containers, carrying goods from overseas. Once they arrive, they are modified to be used in various ways. This process is cost-effective and results in proven quality and consistent results. And, because all of the modifications are done at the manufacturer, they are more efficient than starting from the ground up. Modular buildings are held to the same high-quality standards as traditionally-constructed structures and can be produced and installed much more quickly.
Benefit #3: High-Quality Standards for Modular Buildings
Modular buildings are engineered and constructed to satisfy the same building codes as traditionally constructed structures, ensuring that they are safe, durable, and reliable. Because each piece of a modular building must be weathertight, meet client expectations, and satisfy all federal and state building code requirements, quality and attention to detail are essential. Additionally, SiteBox Storage's modular buildings are fabricated using high-quality steel, so you can expect durability and longevity.
Benefit #4: User-Friendly Convenience
Modular construction is non-invasive and convenient, making it an attractive option for businesses of all types. With modular construction, jobs can be completed in half the time of traditional construction, meaning there is less disruption to your routine and property. Additionally, modular buildings are delivered right to your building site, without you having to lift a finger. And, you can easily add additional units when more space is needed to suit your changing needs.
Benefit #5: Continued Modular Innovation
As modular construction keeps evolving, you can count on improvements in quality, and innovations to serve an ever-wider range of industries. It's already touched industries like corrections, education, healthcare and construction, to name a few. With its flexibility, convenience, and cost-effective solutions, this will only expand.
Modular construction technology is an exciting and innovative field that offers numerous benefits and advantages to businesses across various industries. From faster project timelines and efficient manufacturing processes to high-quality standards and user-friendly convenience, there are many reasons to choose modular construction for your next project.
