What Is A Purchasing Cooperative?

According to widipedia, A purchasing cooperative is a type of cooperative arrangement, to combine buying power to get lower prices from selected suppliers. Purchasing Cooperatives are used most frequently by governmental entities, since they are required to follow laws requiring competitive bidding above certain thresholds. Counties, municipalities, schools, colleges and universities in the majority of states can sign an interlocal agreement or contract that allows them to legally use a contract that was procured by another governmental entity.

What types of commodity are there? There are various types of commodities. Purchasing rules vary from state to state so many purchasing commodities choose to make a Statewide offering. For example CES of NEW MEXICO offers suppliers and services to local or state agencies who wants to be a free member of the commodity and take advantage of the time and financial savings realized throughout the state of New Mexico. The goal of CES is to provide superior services through strategic partners.

Other commodities make offerings to federal agencies. For example GSA is a national commodity, that any federal agency can purchase goods or services. Some state and local agencies recognize GSA, and others do not. The state procurement regulations dictate availability of this on a local/state basis.

Modular Solutions, Ltd is a procurement partner on the CES and GSA Schedule.

Time To Move Your Modular Building? (5) Tips To Consider

Many clients only need a modular building as a temporary swing space resource. The great thing about modular buildings is they are relocateable. When you are using space as a temporary fill until you move to your new location or you need seasonal space you can move the modular building in & out or relocate it without losing your investment. We recently worked with a firm that needed a facility that was very custom and they needed the building for six months.....howerver, they to have this facility nationwide at various branch locations and could not afford to customize a "temporary" facility that many times. SOLUTION...... We constructed the building for them with multiple state approvals and tags, and they can move the "prototype" facility around from location to location and have the perfect building solution and save time & money!

some tips to consider when thinking about moving your modular building:
1. If you are moving within the state see who has jurisdiction for at the new location to make sure your existing modular building will work, without special considerations
2. If you are moving but the site will not be ready, make sure to plastic the building up and water tight it so you will not face any storm damage or weather issues
3. If you need to grow, just ask about "flex-space" modular sections. We can build & add to any existing modular structure
4. Decide if you want a temporary or permanent foundation system. A permanent foundation system is more expensive to install at the new location & remove from the prior site
5. Blend in! Each time you go into a new community you want to feel like you have always been there. Choose siding finishes that will blend in with any community well

Modular Solutions On The Beach

Most people think of cute little cottages by the beach for ocean front property. This is one way to build, but why not consider a permanent modular building. The great thing it can set up above the ground on high & dry land, it can have cute cottage finishes or extravagant design if you have the budget, and modular construction is recognized by architects and developers as a very great alternative to "site-built".

Modular construction can offer a savings on cost (depending on the design criteria), but the main advantage is that you can occupy your beachfront property in 60 - 90 days from approved plans. A modular home is constructed to meet or EXCEED local building codes and can be built with a 50+ year life cycle.

there is no need to wait and pay huge engineering fees for a custom home when you can get a great modular home that includes the design and architectural fees. This link is an article on homes READ MORE, from a local building site, about modular beach homes.
