What Are Modular Offices?

Modular offices are semi-permanent or temporary prefabricated structures that are used in commercial or industrial settings. Panel built modular workspaces employ a panel system that allows for fast and easy installation into an existing warehouse or manufacturing facility.

In warehouses, distribution operations and manufacturing plants throughout the country, modular workspaces are employed to permit desk workers to operate in buildings that are meant primarily for industrial use. These versatile systems can add quiet, sheltered, climate controlled space to nearly any commercial building, and can often be erected in just a few hours.

Why Choose Modular Offices vs Standard Construction?

Modular solutions have enormous advantages over constructing permanent structures within your facility. Because they’re built using prefabricated elements, they’re far more flexible than standard construction and can quickly be expanded, moved, altered or taken away. These structures can also be eligible for rapid depreciation by way of the Section 179 allowance, permitting a 100% write-off in the course of the purchase year. This is a significant tax benefit vs a typical depreciation schedule. Additionally, modular construction can be half the cost of traditional construction.

There is generally no requirement for architects, structural engineers or contractors when installing a modular office; kits are prefabricated and simple to put together.

Modular Office Applications

While the term “modular office” insinuates that these kits are designated to be used as office space, they are commonly employed for a broad variety of functions. If you’re considering an industrial building purchase, move or reconfiguration, here are some possible use scenarios for modular systems.

Modular Employee Cafeterias or Break Rooms

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

Shipping and Receiving Offices

Many facilities need shipping and receiving offices. Modular offices are ideal for enclosing these areas and segregating them from the plant floor or warehouse. They can also be expanded or reduced as demand fluctuates.

Modular Conference Areas

For meetings, trainings, or client reception, modular offices are the perfect solution. Nearly every business requires a collective meeting area and installing a modular conference room can make a significant difference in your daily business environment.

Modular Electronic Equipment Room Enclosures

Manufacturing floors and warehouses can be hostile environments for onsite computers, servers, routers and switching equipment. To keep sensitive equipment secure in dusty or dirty conditions, server room enclosures can offer security and protection at a relatively low cost.

Laboratories

Many manufacturing, engineering, and scientific departments must have isolated work areas, or laboratories, for specific activities. A modular workspace can easily be installed to contain a fully operational lab.
