For schools, churches, and businesses, growth is a good sign. It means that your are successfully making the connections that are necessary, and that you can provide the messages, education, services, or products that people want and need. However, expansion always comes with a need for additional space, and that can mean new construction. Synonymous with construction are permits, delays, budget overruns, and a whole host of other problems. There is an alternative and easier way to add space, for classrooms or a new branch of your business. Modular buildings take very little time to set up, and cost much less than onsite construction. Used modular buildings are even more economical.

Why choose modular buildings?
For any school, business, or church looking for more space, both time and money are of the essence. New construction can be a costly and long-drawn out process, beginning with the appropriate permits, through construction delays due to weather, and with the ever-present risk of exceeding budgets drastically. Modular buildings are an alternative to onsite construction, and they have several advantages, especially when it comes to cost and speed. They are also more ecofriendly, which can be an important consideration for many schools and businesses.
Modular buildings are constructed in a controlled factory environment rather than on site. This means that the units can be put together speedily without delays due to bad weather or even stoppages due to the season. In fact, sometimes modular homes can be built in just a week or two. The units are then shipped to the site and assembled into the final building design. Overall, modular portable buildings can be finished in a fifth of the time it would take to construct on site.

Lower costs and less waste
Not only is modular construction much quicker, it also ends up costing much less than buildings that are constructed on site. Because they are built in factories, they waste up to 35-40% less building materials as well. This can work out to a substantial saving in costs, which can be half of onsite construction.
This makes modular portable buildings an important element of green design, which seeks to reduce the amount of wastage of building materials. This can be an important consideration for many schools, churches, and businesses as well. Used modular buildings likewise meet the green criteria by reusing existing materials and structures. Used modular buildings can reduce costs and time even further.

Extra space for classroom expansion
For schools and businesses looking to grow, modular construction is a good choice. Schools typically have to be budget-conscious. With finished portable buildings, they can achieve savings anywhere between 36% to 77% over site-built classrooms.
Modular classrooms help schools to allow for flexible enrollments, with quick delivery times and low costs. Portable classrooms are much more energy efficient than comparable older buildings. Almost 40% of builders and contractors include modular buildings in their portfolios. Modular buildings are portable, but that does not mean that they are temporary. They can be used as permanent buildings as well.

For schools, churches, and businesses needing more space for expansion, modular buildings are a good choice. Speedy delivery and lower costs than onsite constitution are important factors for budget-conscious planners. Used modular buildings can reduce costs and delivery times even further. Modular buildings can be both temporary and permanent, and they have an important place in green design.
