What Are Modular Offices?

Modular workspaces are semi-permanent or temporary prefabricated structures that are used in commercial or industrial applications. Panel style modular offices utilize a panel system that enables quick and easy setup in an existing warehouse or plant.

In warehouses, distribution centers and production facilities throughout the country, modular office spaces are employed to enable desk workers to do their jobs in locations that are generally used for industrial purposes. These flexible systems can add quiet, sheltered, temperature controlled space to just about any industrial structure, and can oftentimes be erected in less than a day.

Why Choose Modular Offices vs Standard Construction?

Modular offices offer enormous advantages over constructing permanent structures within your building. Since they’re constructed using prefab components, they’re far more adaptable than permanent construction and can quickly be expanded, moved, reconfigured or demolished. These installations can also qualify for rapid depreciation by way of the Section 179 allowance, enabling a 100% write-off in the course of the purchase year. This is a significant tax advantage vs an average depreciation schedule. Moreover, modular construction is sometimes 50% of the cost of normal construction.

In general, there is no need for engineers, architects or contractors when setting up a modular office; systems are prebuilt and simple to assemble.

Modular Office Applications

While the phrase “modular office” implies that these structures are designated to be put to use as office space, in reality they are employed for a broad spectrum of purposes. If you’re considering an industrial building purchase, relocation or redesign, here are some possible applications for modular construction.

Modular Worker Cafeterias or Break Rooms

Having a hospitable, climate controlled, well-lit oasis for your employees to take safety breaks or lunch hours can improve morale and ensure that your workforce remains happy and productive.

Shipping and Receiving Departments

Many facilities need shipping and receiving centers. Modular offices are well suited for isolating these areas from the production floor or storage area. 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. Almost all businesses require a shared meeting area and adding a modular conference room can make a significant difference in your ability to conduct day-to-day business.

Modular Computer Room Enclosures

Industrial plants and storage facilities can be hostile 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 while keeping costs in check.

On Site Labs

Very often, manufacturing, engineering, and scientific departments require separate spaces, or laboratories, for specific activities. A modular workspace can easily be added to house a fully operational lab.
