Permanent modular buildings have come a long way and are arguably becoming the preference in many industries. Permanent modular construction has grown in popularity due to its efficiency in execution, sustainability in practice and innovation in design. Learn about this popular construction option below, and contact us if you would like more information about choosing permanent modular construction for your next building project.

Efficient Execution

Being efficient is important to every institution and in every project – no one wants to waste their time or money. That is exactly why more and more companies in virtually every industry have chosen permanent modular construction for new buildings or to expand their current space.

Traditional construction is a long process that usually has a lot of hiccups along the way. It is safe to say that many of the delays and expenses in the construction process come from external sources that include weather and materials. When you choose permanent modular construction, you save time and money thanks to off-site construction in our warehouse.

Here are just some of the benefits you can expect from choosing Affordable Structures’ permanent modular construction:

  • Site work and building construction occur at the same time saving as much as 50% of total construction time.
  • Materials are centrally sourced with national contracts and leveraged purchasing power.
  • Off-Site Construction facilities are enclosed and secure protecting against weather damage and delays as well as theft during construction.

Innovative Design

When you choose permanent modular buildings, your options span far beyond one or two layouts and little to no options for material and finishes. Part of our permanent modular construction process at Affordable Structures is choosing exactly what you want so that we can install it during construction. The result is a nearly completed, prefabricated building delivered to your site so that your build project stays on schedule.

Another facet of the innovation that comes with permanent modular construction is the option to relocate your new modular building easily. If you are interested in a transportable modular building, call us for more details.

Sustainable Practice

The Environmental Protection Agency states that an average non-residential construction project produces about 4.34 lbs./sq. ft. – that’s 21,700 lbs. (10.5 tons) for a 5,000 sq. ft. space! When permanent modular construction is chosen over the traditional route, builders have seen waste reduced by 5 percent.

Additionally, modular buildings have many environmentally friendly options and upgrades for you to choose from. As members of the U.S. Green Building Council, we can partner with you to construct a LEED-certified modular building. The benefits of following green modular construction practices and adhering to LEED standards include:

  • Lower operating costs – energy and water bills can be reduced up to 40 percent.
  • Increased efficiency – more efficiency translates into more available resources for other parts of your institution.
  • Incentive – enjoy tax rebates, higher property value, zoning allowances and fasted lease-up rates.
