What Are Modular Offices?

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

In warehouses, distribution centers and production facilities across the U.S., modular office spaces are employed to allow desk workers to collocate in buildings that are generally used for industrial purposes. These flexible systems can add noise shielded, secure, climate controlled workspace to just about any industrial building, and can oftentimes be set up in a matter of hours.

Why Choose Modular Offices vs Standard Construction?

Modular solutions have considerable benefits versus constructing standard structures within your facility. Since they’re assembled using prefabricated components, they’re much more adaptable than permanent construction and can quickly be added on to, moved, reconfigured or taken away. These structures can also qualify for shorter term depreciation by way of the Section 179 deduction, permitting a full write-off in the course of the purchase year. This is a significant tax benefit vs an average depreciation schedule. Additionally, modular building is sometimes half the cost of normal construction.

In general, there is no need for architects, structural engineers or builders when installing a modular office; systems are prefabricated and easy to assemble.

Modular Office Applications

Although the term “modular office” implies that these kits are designed specifically to be used as office space, in reality they are used for a wide variety of functions. If you’re considering a warehouse purchase, move or redesign, here are some potential use scenarios for modular systems.

Modular Employee Cafeterias or Break Rooms

Having a comfortable, temperature controlled, brightly lit oasis for your workers to take safety breaks or lunch hours can boost employee satisfaction and ensure that your workforce remains happy and productive.

Shipping and Receiving Departments

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

Modular Conference Rooms

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

Modular Computer Room Enclosures

Production facilities and storage facilities can be inhospitable environments for equipment like computer servers, routers and switches. 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, engineering, production, and scientific departments must have isolated spaces, or laboratories, for specific functions. A modular office can easily be installed to contain a fully operational lab.
