Modular Solutions Going Global

Modular buildings are used in the United States for temporary and permanent space solutions and in every region. We belong to an organization MBI, that promotes the globalization of modular construction. In recent months the new members of other countries have almost outpaced our new members in the USA. When you look at the rich history of some of those countries they have not wanted to consider modular construction as a viable option. Breaking the concept of thought that their method of construction has worked for thousands of years is sometimes an uphill battle. There is however a new movement which has begun encouraging young architects and design engineers to look at alternative construction methods and a better way to build. With all of the sustainable, and green options that prefabrication offers young design teams are tackling the age old problems of what is a better way to build in our region.

By discovering the true time and money savings available with off-site prefabricated construction an entire new generation is discovering there really is a better way to build!

Is A Container The Same As A Modular Buiding?

With the world looking a a greener way to build and reduce, recycle, reuse in daily vocabulary- we are frequently asked can we just use a container and build the modular building this way. There are some great projects that are using or "re-using" shipping containers for building construction with great results. There are some major differences that should be looked at for the total picture.

1. Modular buildings can meet the energy code for continuous insulation and higher insulation values. Containers have a hard time achieving these levels.
2. Modular buildings can be customize in any shape (hogans, staggered lengths, various NON POSTING OPEN SPANS, containers have to work with the 8' wide sections structurally
3. Modular buildings are designed around a "pre-approved" set of structural calculations in most states. This can expedite the approval process. Containers typically require job-to-job design & engineering.
4. Modular buildings are inexpensive to attach versatile final finishes. Sometimes containers require additional costs for finishes such as brick or lap.

In the end you can evaluate what is the best benefit for your company or organization and your carbon footprint decisions.

Modular Solutions, ltd can offer you design & construction on both types of construction. For more details contact our team:

5 tips to a better mining industry prefabricated structure

The only thing constant in the mining industry is change! Understanding that staff needs, and team goals will flex on an almost daily basis is important in making long & short term space planning goals. Here are a few tips to help you decide on what is the best value for an ever changing industry.

1. DEFINE IF THE SPACE PLAN IS LONG TERM OR SHORT TERM: By understanding if you need a short term lease of space or if you would be better to purchase a custom building to meet the space needs is key to getting the best value. Frequently you can find a building in inventory to meet the needs, or if you have a specialized custom space need don't be willing to settle, know what you want and develop a solution along side your modular building vendor.

2. WHO IS THE END OCCUPANT OF THE SPACE: Keeping in mind there are line employees and there are executives on the team, and it takes everyone to make your team successful. Executive suites tend to have a little more luxury in the design and larger working spaces. Line workers are in the field and in the office so a mixed layout of structural upgrades and large open spaces are more common on this application.

3. WHERE IS THE NEW BUILDING GOING: While mines have lots of space, they are limited on useable space. Choose a space that is accessible to trucks and the prefabricated installation team. The more accessible your site, the lower the installation fees will be.

4. WILL THIS SPACE NEED GROW: When designing space it is better to have room to grow, or pick a "mod-flex" plan that can add more sections without excessive cost factor.

5. MAINTAIN YOUR BUDGET: When looking at a custom building it is easy to get overwhelmed by all the choices and want to include comfortable upgrades. Make sure you have a budget goal in mind and work closely with the preconstruction team to make sure you get sensible upgrades like better insulation values and windows, that will lower your monthly operations budget as well as keep your lease or purchase price of the new modular building within budget.

Let the professional design-build team at Modular Solutions, Ltd help you assess your space planning goals, and establish a list of priorities to stay on budget.
