What Are Modular Offices?

Modular workspaces are semi-permanent or temporary pre-built structures that are used in commercial or industrial settings. Panel style modular workspaces utilize a panel system that allows for fast and easy setup in an existing warehouse or manufacturing facility.

In warehouses, distribution centers and production facilities across the country, modular office spaces are employed to enable desk workers to collocate in locations that are generally used for industrial purposes. These flexible systems can add quiet, secure, temperature controlled workspace to nearly any industrial building, and can usually be erected in just a few hours.

Why Choose Modular Offices vs Standard Construction?

Modular solutions offer significant advantages over building out standard structures inside your facility. Because they’re assembled using prefabricated components, they’re far more flexible than standard construction and can quickly be expanded, moved, altered or demolished. These structures may also be eligible for accelerated depreciation under the Section 179 deduction, permitting a full write-off during the purchase year. This is a significant tax windfall vs a typical depreciation timeframe. Moreover, modular building can be a fraction of the cost of permanent construction.

There is generally no need for engineers, architects or builders when setting up a modular office; systems are prefabricated and straightforward to put together.

Modular Office Uses

While the phrase “modular office” implies that these systems are meant only to be used as office space, they are commonly employed for a broad variety of functions. If you’re considering a warehouse purchase, move or redesign, there are several possible use scenarios for modular construction.

Modular Employee Break Rooms & Cafeterias

Having a comfortable, climate controlled, brightly lit area for your workers to relax and recharge during breaks and lunch hours can boost morale and ensure that your workforce remains happy and productive.

Shipping and Receiving Offices

Quite often, industrial facilities need shipping and receiving offices. Modular offices are perfect for enclosing these areas and segregating them from the plant floor or warehouse. As demand fluctuates, they can also be sized accordingly with very little effort.

Modular Conference Areas

For meetings, trainings, or client reception, modular offices are the perfect solution. Almost all businesses require a collective meeting area and adding a modular conference facility can make a huge difference in your daily business environment.

Modular Electronic Equipment Room Enclosures

Production facilities and warehouses can be less than ideal environments for equipment like computer servers, routers and switches. For delicate equipment that needs to be deployed in dirty or dusty conditions, server room enclosures can offer security and protection at a relatively low cost.

On Site Labs

Very often, manufacturing, engineering, and scientific departments need isolated work areas, or laboratories, for designated functions. A modular workspace can easily be added to house a fully operational lab.
