Raise The Roof, Or At Least The Ceiling Height!

Will you be building a church or a sales office? Many of our clients love modular construction but do not want a 8' nominal ceiling height which is "industry-standard". Because many mobile office vendors make only one type of building, clients are told 8' is it......in reality there are no limits!

Building a higher ceiling height is just a matter of preplanning and having an innovative factory that will get it done!

Some cautions, with traditional modular construction methods, when you raise the ceiling you raise your shipping height, so routing and the way you get there is critical! But there are lots of great ways to raise the ceiling height and not have that worry.

TIPS FOR HIGHER CEILINGS:
1. Omit the T-Grid and use decorative ductwork and exposed beams
2. Hinged roof systems
3. Telescoping roof systems
4. MPANELS

The open feeling you get with a higher ceiling is sometimes necessary for your use. Explore these options with our preconstruciton team to see what would be the best fit and advantage for your space needs.

Modular Buildings, know your snow load!

This time of year we are faced with huge storms all over the country. One of the biggest misconceptions about modular buildings is that they can not withstand heavy snow loads. When you work with an experienced preconstruction team they can ensure your construction design will work in the heaviest snow & driving wind conditions.

Blowing winds, ice dams, and setting snow are all factors that contribute to roof load failures. By making visits to your local site and incorporating actual data, not just charts from a book a capable modular building designer will incorporate site specific data that implements a safer modular building design.

Modular Churches, and Modular Multi-Purpose Buildings

Thinking about modular construction for your new church or multipurpose facility? There are many considerations, it helps if you know some common boundaries and innovations on your way there.

Ceiling height has always been a concern with modular churches. You typically want at least 10' high ceilings in an open space. This creates transportation issues in some areas. New innovations allow for higher ceilings with telescoping roof systems or fold out systems.
Many of our church clients will leave out the ceiling system and have exposed beams to allow a higher finished ceiling height.

Another consideration has typically been posting or roof load support. Most meeting rooms need clear vision in the entire room. While it may cost a little more to get clearspan steel roof beams it is usually a worthwhile expense. Having a post is distracting & takes away from the flexibility of the room use. In the end your team has to compare overall budget and incorporate those decisions into the decision making process.
