Ever Consider A Container For Your New Office Space?

Modular Solutions, Ltd has been manufacturing custom buildings for some time, and there has been an insurgence of requests lately to try and utilize containers from the overseas marketplace.   The modular industry has spent time and money on research of the safety and code compliance once you breach the integrity of a container and use the "bones" for another type of construction.

The modular building institute (MBI) has written an in-depth article on  what the "experts" say about the integrity and safety of re-use of storage containers for multi-family, permanent construction using multiple containers, and other uses. They also include suggestions for code requirements.

For a copy of the article please email this LINK with "container" in the subject line and we will forward the information, or you can also become a member of the MBI organization that supports all types of prefabricated construction.

We have provided re-use containers for judicial systems, and retail, and have looked at containers for multi-family housing projects.   In the end it is no less expensive than traditional construction methods, it is just another way to fulfill a space need.  There are lots of creative uses for this type of construction in the industry, the question is, is it right for your project.

Easy Sustainable Options For Your Modular Building

A Common question we are asked is can I get a modular building that will be more "green", and that is better for the environment. There are lots of little things you can incorporate into your modular building design that is better for the environment, green, reduces carbon footprint, and that will make a difference.

1. Design you building with 2 x 6 wall studs: Increase insulation, reduce energy consumption
2. Use a high efficiency mechanical system: Modular buildings can have more efficient units with higher seasonal energy efficient ratings (SEER)that will reduce the cost to cool you modular building.
3. Modular Building Placement: General common sense of placing windows and door facings when putting the modular building on the site will reduce heat conductivity
4. Sustainable Floor Covering: Choose a floor covering made from recycled bottles or bamboo. Make a conscience choice to select a product proven to be reducing carbon footprint
5. Use an alternative energy system (ie windmill or solar power) for energy generation to have a net zero design
6. The very essence of modular is "green"- A modular building is 100% recyclable and can be used at a new location any time during its life cycle or rebuilt to have a new life cycle

Need to lease a mobile office? Consider your options!

Mobile office buildings are carried "in-stock", and available for short term or temporary space needs. When you are planning your space goals, you should also make sure you consider the long term goals so your company or organization does not spend alot of money on unrecoverable costs.

Great tips to consider when planning on a mobile office lease:

1. What money will be spent on drawings, plans , approvals for a short term fix? Is it better to wait a few more months and just put in your permanent modular building location?
2. What money will be spent on getting utility connections & fire sprinklers or life safety to the site? If the temporary location is near connections this makes great sense. If the connections are far away sometimes a lease can be cost prohibitive.
3. How much time will it really take to get the permits? Many agencies treat a temporary lease like a standard permanent addition, and require full document submittals and review process. This can add months onto a project schedule.
4. Evaluate if this is really a short term fix. There are other options such as lease to own or lease purchase that can add value to the purchase price should you choose to buy the modular building or keep it on site longer than expected.

What other options are there?
Lease with option: This has value of lease payments applied toward the purchase price "prestated" so you know your purchase price at any given time
Lease to own: Typically written as a "lease" with rights to purchase for $1.00 upon fulfillment of lease terms and conditions. Both of the above also have tax benefits in most states.
