What Are Modular Offices?

Modular workspaces are a type of industrial or commercial office space that is pre-built offsite and is semi-permanent or temporary in nature. Panel style modular offices employ a panel system that allows for fast and easy installation into an existing warehouse or plant.

In warehouses, distribution operations and manufacturing plants across the country, modular office spaces are employed to enable desk workers to operate in buildings that are meant primarily for industrial use. These adaptable systems can add noise shielded, protected, temperature controlled workspace to nearly any industrial structure, and can often be erected in less than a day.

Why Choose Modular Offices vs Standard Construction?

Modular solutions offer enormous advantages over constructing permanent structures within your building. Since they’re constructed using prefabricated components, they’re far more flexible than permanent construction and can quickly be added on to, moved, adjusted or demolished. These installations can additionally be eligible for accelerated depreciation by way of the Section 179 allowance, enabling a 100% write-off in the course of the purchase year. This is an enormous tax benefit in comparison with a typical depreciation schedule. Moreover, modular building can be a fraction of cost of traditional construction.

In general, there is no requirement for architects, structural engineers or contractors when installing a modular office–kits are prebuilt and easy to assemble.

Modular Office Applications

While the label “modular office” implies that these systems are meant only to be put to use as office space, they are commonly used for a broad variety of purposes. For those contemplating a warehouse acquisition, relocation or reconfiguration, there are several potential use scenarios for modular construction.

Modular Employee Break Rooms & Cafeterias

Having a comfortable, temperature controlled, brightly lit area for your employees to take safety breaks or lunch hours can enhance employee satisfaction and contribute to a productive and happy workforce.

Shipping and Receiving Departments

Many facilities need shipping and receiving offices. Modular offices are perfect for isolating these areas from the production floor or warehouse. As demand fluctuates, they can also be sized accordingly with very little effort.

Modular Conference Rooms

Modular conference rooms are ideal for employee training, meetings, and client reception areas. Nearly every business needs a shared meeting space and adding a modular conference room can make a significant difference in your daily business environment.

Modular Server Room Enclosures

Industrial plants and storage facilities can be less than ideal environments for onsite computers, servers, routers and switching equipment. For delicate equipment that needs to be deployed in dirty or dusty conditions, computer room enclosures can provide just the right amount of protection and security at a relatively low cost.

On Site Labs

Very often, manufacturing, engineering, and scientific departments require separate spaces, or laboratories, for designated functions. A modular office can easily be installed to contain a fully operational lab.
