What Are Modular Offices?

Modular workspaces are semi-permanent or temporary pre-built structures that are used in commercial or industrial applications. Panel built modular workspaces utilize a panel system that allows for fast and convenient installation into an existing warehouse or plant.

In warehouses, distribution operations and production facilities throughout the U.S., modular office spaces are put in place to permit desk workers to operate in buildings that are principally industrial in nature. These flexible systems can add noise shielded, secure, climate controlled workspace to nearly any industrial structure, and can usually be assembled in less than a day.

Why Choose Modular Offices vs Standard Construction?

Modular structures maintain considerable advantages over constructing standard structures within your building. Because they’re constructed using prefabricated elements, they’re far more versatile than permanent construction and can quickly be expanded, relocated, adjusted or removed. These structures can also qualify for accelerated depreciation under the Section 179 deduction, permitting a full write-off during the purchase year. This is a significant tax benefit vs an average depreciation schedule. Additionally, modular building is sometimes 50% of the cost of normal construction.

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

Modular Office Uses

Although the phrase “modular office” insinuates that these systems are designated to be put to use as office space, in reality they are used for a wide spectrum of functions. If you’re considering an industrial building purchase, relocation or redesign, there are several possible applications for modular systems.

Modular Worker Break Rooms & Cafeterias

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

Shipping and Receiving Departments

Quite often, industrial facilities require shipping and receiving offices. Modular offices are perfect for enclosing these areas and segregating them from the plant floor or storage area. They can also be expanded or reduced as demand fluctuates.

Modular Conference Areas

Modular conference rooms are ideal for employee training, meetings, and client reception areas. Almost all businesses need a common meeting area and adding a modular conference facility 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 equipment like computer servers, routers and switches. To keep sensitive equipment secure in dusty or dirty conditions, server room enclosures can offer security and protection while keeping costs in check.

Laboratories

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