The size of modular buildings can be fully customizable, depending on the needs of your project. A typical module is 10 to 14 feet wide and 30 to 70 feet long, in order to allow them to be efficiently transportable on standard truck trailers. However, the final building is not limited by transportability. Using custom-built modules, your building can be any size needed–from a single module to a multi-module, multi-story building. The building size is limited only by the space you have available. 

Absolutely! Modular buildings are essentially as customizable as any ground-up construction project. Anything from square footage to number of stories, MEP, sound mitigations, TEMPEST mitigations, finishes, and furnishings can all be customized. The design of the building will determine how much of the custom work is completed in the factory or on site. 

Essentially any kind of commercial building can be modular, including office space, storage, military housing, conference centers, server rooms, training facilities, laboratories and more. The only limitations for modular buildings versus ground-up construction are when you need large clear span space (i.e., a wide, unobstructed area without interior columns or walls). Our buildings also have an interior height limitation of about 9 feet, and they are not able to accommodate heavy equipment like trucks and forklifts.

As with any type of construction project, the timelines vary widely based on the details and scope of the project. For the fabrication (factory) portion of a modular building project, a building can be fabricated in as little as six weeks once the design and engineering are finalized. Fabrication is Phase 4 of a five-phase modular process—you can read more here about what to expect with the other phases. 

With proper maintenance and care, modular buildings can last as long as traditional structures—it is common for them to last 20 years or more. Their life expectancy depends on a variety of factors, including the quality and type of materials used in construction, the design (e.g., proper insulation, adequate structural support), maintenance, and environmental factors (e.g., extreme temperatures, moisture and exposure to corrosive elements). But, most importantly, the life of a building can be extended by staying on top of any required roof maintenance. 

Industry-wide, modular buildings are typically considered to be 10–30% less expensive than traditionally built structures. The actual cost savings of course depends on the size and scope of your individual project. To get an idea of the cost of modular construction, read our blog post on the topic.

It is very difficult to add onto a modular building. It is highly invasive to the existing structure. Generally in these situations, we will set a new modular building right next to your existing building and connect them with a causeway, which can be enclosed. This solution also allows you to not have any down time in your existing structure.

Site requirements vary depending on the project, but they typically involve clearing the space for the building, laying a foundation, and installing utilities. The advantage of utilizing a modular construction method is that the site work can be completed concurrently with the off-site building fabrication. 

We offer a standard one-year warranty against manufacturer defect and workmanship. The HVAC warranty is voided if it is ever run on a generator. 

Yes, we do offer operating lease options on long-term leases. There are many factors that play into a lease such as building type, location, complexity, term, and use. If you are interested in a lease option, please contact us, and we can walk you through how it will work in your situation.

We do not offer financing options. You would need to check with your bank or private lender for options.
