What Are Modular Offices?

Modular workspaces are a type of commercial or industrial office space that is prefabricated 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 manufacturing facility.

In warehouses, distribution operations and manufacturing plants throughout the country, modular office spaces are employed to enable desk workers to operate in spaces that are generally used for industrial purposes. These versatile systems can add noise shielded, secure, temperature controlled workspace to nearly any industrial structure, and can usually be set up in less than a day.

Why Choose Modular Offices vs Standard Construction?

Modular structures offer enormous advantages over building out standard structures inside your building. Since they’re constructed using prefab components, they’re far more versatile than standard construction and can quickly be added on to, relocated, adjusted or demolished. These installations 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 a significant tax windfall vs a typical depreciation timeframe. Moreover, modular building can be 50% of the cost of traditional construction.

In general, there is no requirement for engineers, architects or contractors when installing a modular office; systems are prebuilt and easy to assemble.

Modular Office Uses

While the phrase “modular office” implies that these kits are meant only to be put to use as office space, they are commonly employed for a broad variety of functions. If you’re considering an industrial building purchase, relocation or redesign, here are some potential applications for modular construction.

Modular Employee Break Rooms & Cafeterias

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

Shipping and Receiving Departments

Quite often, industrial facilities require shipping and receiving offices. Modular offices are ideal for enclosing these areas and segregating them from the plant floor or storage area. They can also be expanded or reduced as demand fluctuates.

Modular Conference Rooms

For meetings, trainings, or client reception, modular offices are the perfect solution. Nearly every business requires a common meeting area and installing a modular conference facility can make a huge difference in your ability to conduct day-to-day business.

Modular Server Room Enclosures

Manufacturing floors and storage facilities can be less than ideal environments for onsite computers, servers, routers and switching equipment. For delicate equipment that needs to be deployed in dirty or dusty conditions, computer room enclosures can offer security and protection while keeping costs in check.

Laboratories

Very often, manufacturing, engineering, and scientific departments require separate work areas, or laboratories, for designated activities. A modular office can easily be installed to contain a fully operational lab.
