What Are Modular Offices?

Modular workspaces are temporary or semi-permanent pre-built structures that are used in industrial or commercial environments. Panel built modular structures utilize a panel system that allows for fast and easy installation into an existing warehouse or manufacturing facility.

In warehouses, distribution operations and manufacturing plants throughout the U.S., modular office spaces are used to permit desk workers to operate in locations that are meant primarily for industrial use. These flexible systems can add noise shielded, secure, climate controlled workspace to just about any commercial building, and can often be erected in just a few hours.

Why Choose Modular Offices vs Standard Construction?

Modular offices offer considerable benefits versus building out standard structures within your building. Because they’re constructed using prefab components, they’re far more flexible than permanent construction and can quickly be added on to, relocated, reconfigured or demolished. These structures can also qualify for accelerated depreciation under the Section 179 allowance, permitting a full write-off in the course of the year of acquisition. This is an enormous tax advantage vs a typical depreciation schedule. Additionally, modular construction can be half the cost of traditional construction.

There is generally no need for engineers, architects or contractors when installing a modular office; kits are prebuilt and easy to assemble.

Modular Office Applications

Although the term “modular office” implies that these kits are meant only to be put to use as office space, in reality they are used for a wide spectrum of functions. For those contemplating a warehouse acquisition, move or reconfiguration, there are several potential applications for modular systems.

Modular Employee Cafeterias or Break Rooms

Having a hospitable, climate controlled, brightly lit oasis for your workers to take safety breaks or lunch hours can enhance employee satisfaction and ensure that your workforce remains happy and productive.

Shipping and Receiving Offices

Many facilities require shipping and receiving offices. Modular offices are well suited for enclosing these areas and segregating them from the plant floor or warehouse. As demand fluctuates, they can also be sized accordingly with very little effort.

Modular Conference Areas

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

Modular Electronic Equipment Room Enclosures

Industrial plants and warehouses can be inhospitable environments for equipment like computer servers, routers and switches. To keep sensitive equipment secure in dusty or dirty conditions, computer room enclosures can provide just the right amount of protection and security while keeping costs in check.

On Site Labs

Many engineering, production, and scientific departments require isolated work areas, or laboratories, for specific functions. A modular workspace can easily be added to contain a fully operational lab.
