What Are Modular Offices?

Modular offices are a type of industrial or commercial workspace that is prefabricated offsite and is semi-permanent or temporary in nature. Panel style modular offices utilize a panel system that allows for fast and easy setup in an existing warehouse or manufacturing facility.

In warehouses, distribution operations and production facilities across the U.S., modular workspaces are used to enable desk workers to do their jobs in buildings that are meant primarily for industrial use. These flexible systems can add noise shielded, protected, temperature controlled space to nearly any commercial structure, and can oftentimes be assembled in a matter of hours.

Why Choose Modular Offices vs Standard Construction?

Modular structures offer considerable advantages over building out permanent structures inside your building. Since they’re constructed using prefab elements, they’re much more flexible than permanent construction and can quickly be added on to, moved, altered or taken away. These structures may also be eligible for rapid depreciation by way of the Section 179 allowance, enabling a full write-off in the course of the year of acquisition. This is a significant tax advantage vs an average depreciation schedule. Moreover, modular building is sometimes 50% of the cost of traditional construction.

In general, there is no need for architects, structural engineers or contractors when setting up a modular office; kits are prefabricated and easy to put together.

Modular Office Uses

Although the term “modular office” suggests that these kits are designed specifically to be used as office space, they are commonly employed for a wide variety of functions. For those contemplating an industrial building purchase, relocation or redesign, there are several potential applications for modular construction.

Modular Worker Cafeterias or Break Rooms

Having a hospitable, climate controlled, brightly lit oasis for your employees to relax and recharge during breaks and lunch hours can enhance morale and ensure that your workforce remains happy and productive.

Shipping and Receiving Offices

Quite often, industrial facilities need shipping and receiving offices. Modular offices are ideal for enclosing these areas and segregating them from the plant floor or storage area. As demand fluctuates, they can also be sized accordingly with very little effort.

Modular Conference Rooms

For meetings, trainings, or client reception, modular offices are the perfect solution. Almost all businesses need a shared meeting space and installing a modular conference room can make a huge difference in your ability to conduct day-to-day business.

Modular Computer Room Enclosures

Manufacturing floors and warehouses can be inhospitable environments for onsite computers, servers, routers and switching equipment. To keep sensitive equipment secure in dusty or dirty conditions, server room enclosures can offer security and protection at a relatively low cost.

On Site Labs

Many manufacturing, engineering, and scientific departments require isolated work areas, or laboratories, for designated activities. A modular office can easily be installed to house a fully operational lab.
