What Are Modular Offices?

Modular offices are a type of industrial or commercial workspace that is pre-built offsite and is semi-permanent or temporary in nature. Panel built modular offices employ a panel system that enables fast and easy setup in an existing warehouse or plant.

In warehouses, distribution operations and production facilities across the U.S., modular workspaces are employed to permit desk workers to collocate in buildings that are generally used for industrial purposes. These versatile systems can add quiet, protected, temperature controlled space to just about any commercial structure, and can usually be erected in less than a day.

Why Choose Modular Offices vs Standard Construction?

Modular solutions maintain significant advantages over constructing standard structures within your building. Because they’re assembled using prefabricated components, they’re far more adaptable than standard construction and can quickly be expanded, moved, adjusted or demolished. These installations may also qualify for rapid depreciation by way of the Section 179 deduction, enabling a full write-off in the course of the year of acquisition. This is a significant tax windfall vs an average depreciation schedule. Additionally, modular building is sometimes 50% of the cost of permanent construction.

In general, there is no requirement for engineers, architects or contractors when setting up a modular office; systems are prefabricated and simple to assemble.

Modular Office Applications

While the term “modular office” suggests that these systems are designated to be put to use as office space, they are commonly used for a broad variety of purposes. If you’re considering a warehouse purchase, relocation or redesign, there are several potential use scenarios for modular systems.

Modular Employee Cafeterias or Break Rooms

Having a comfortable, temperature controlled, brightly lit area for your workers to take safety breaks or lunch hours can enhance employee satisfaction and contribute to a productive and happy workforce.

Shipping and Receiving Offices

Many facilities require shipping and receiving departments. Modular offices are perfect for isolating these areas from the production floor or storage area. They can also be expanded or reduced as demand fluctuates.

Modular Conference Areas

For meetings, trainings, or client reception, modular offices are the perfect solution. Nearly every business needs a shared meeting area and adding a modular conference facility can make a significant difference in your daily business environment.

Modular Server Room Enclosures

Industrial plants and storage facilities can be hostile environments for equipment like computer servers, routers and switches. For delicate equipment that needs to be deployed in dirty or dusty conditions, server room enclosures can provide just the right amount of protection and security while keeping costs in check.

Laboratories

Very often, engineering, production, and scientific centers must have isolated spaces, or laboratories, for designated functions. A modular office can easily be added to provide the infrastructure required to build a fully operational lab.
