Modular Buildings Sarasota
Architects and building owners throughout Sarasota are taking advantage of the savings and flexibility inherent to modular buildings. Prefabricated buildings have evolved far beyond the portable trailers we remember from the past and are a popular, fast way to expand.
Affordable Structures is among the top modular building installation companies serving the Southeastern United States and the Caribbean. We specialize in the manufacture of portable and permanent modular buildings for residential, commercial and industrial applications.
Our innovative design and construction technologies enable customers to expand quickly with modular buildings that are durable, efficient, and available in a wide range of designs and floor plans.
What is a Prefabricated Building?
Modular buildings are “prefabricated” in our factory in sections and then transported to the construction site on flatbed trucks to be placed on a prepared foundation and assembled into a whole building within a few days.
There are many advantages to choosing modular buildings instead of traditional brick-and-mortar construction, such as:
- Modular buildings can meet the needs of virtually any public or private industry or use; e.g., education, healthcare, hospitality, assembly, and more.
- Prefabricated buildings can be simple or elaborate, and can be designed with exterior finishes such as wood, brick, stucco and siding, and even custom architectural features.
- They are designed for permanent installation, but can be taken apart, relocated, and reassembled over and over again in new locations while maintaining the same structural integrity as a new building.
- Modular buildings adhere to, and often exceed, the same state and federal building codes that apply to site-built buildings. They are built with high-quality materials in a controlled environment and undergo factory-quality inspections.
- During construction, the materials used in a stick-built building are stored outside and exposed to moisture from rain or snow. It’s not unusual for poor weather to cause lengthy construction delays. Modular buildings, built in a factory, do not face these issues.
- Because modular buildings are delivered from the factory to the construction site via the highway, they are built to be structurally durable in order to withstand high winds and road vibrations.
- Modular construction exceeds most energy-code requirements and can satisfy your environmental requirements. As a member of the U.S. Green Build Council (USGBC), Affordable Structures builds commercial modular buildings that can meet GREEN building standards.
- Although manufacturers like Affordable Structures have a portfolio of plans to choose from, today’s modular buildings are as easily customizable as conventionally built buildings.
- Modular buildings are extremely cost-effective. Wood frame modular buildings ranges from $40 to $70 per square foot. Steel framed modular buildings range from $55 to more than $100 per square foot and offer a greater life expectancy (up to 50 years).
