You have a need for more functional space within your warehouse, but you are unsure of the costs and disruptions adding this necessary stick-built structure will create. Have you considered inplant modular offices?

Modular offices and inplant buildings are a great way to add functional, affordable space without the disturbances for most warehouse or manufacturing operations. Whether you are looking to add shipping & receiving offices, clean rooms, meeting space, training rooms, or 2^nd level storage, modular offices can give you the flexible and cost-effective space you need.

Modular Benefits

Quick Availability & Installation – Warehouses are usually busy places and interrupting your business with traditional stick construction can cost a lot of money and take a lot of time. Modular wall panels are prefabricated and pre-finished and offer fire and sound mitigation. They easily snap together and along with drop in ceiling panels, offer quick and easy set-up and installation. Modular electrical packages with built in raceways and lighting packages make it easy to add power to your building. This drastically cuts down on time needed to wire and power your space.

Lower Cost vs. Traditional Construction – Warehouse expansion can be expensive. Modular buildings and offices require fewer materials and less labor. In addition, they are classified as equipment, not construction, so they are more quickly depreciated saving more money upfront. No painting or trim work is required as wall panels are shipped complete in assorted colors and finishes.

Inplant offices can also be added on mezzanines over dock space or above your production floor. Creating 2^nd level storage allows you to remain close to operations without foregoing production efficiency. Mezzanines can easily be incorporated into the design to maximize your warehouse space.

Flexibility – Modular offices are perfect for dynamic, ever-changing environments. They can be relocated, expanded, and/or adjusted anytime your operation changes, or staffing is added.

Better Organized Space – Modular offices provide secluded, quiet space away from noisy, chaotic warehouse floors. This can offer your staff the space needed to communicate and work effectively resulting in improved productivity.

Considerations Before Investing in Inplant and Modular Offices:

• Space & Layout – Make sure to carefully measure the space to ensure it fits and won’t interfere with any existing structures. When attaching to an existing structure, it will be vetted out in the design process with the manufacturer.
• Customized Options – How do you want this space to look? How many and what type of windows do you want? How many doorways are required? How many and what type of electrical outlets are needed? Consider what office options and features you need to create a comfortable and functional space. Many customers have added sliding windows for shipping & receiving offices. The options are limitless.
• Budget – Plan for the TOTAL cost of your project, including the office itself, its delivery, installation, and any modifications needed to accommodate it.
• Permits – Check local building codes to see if you need to pull a permit for installation, especially if electrical and HVAC systems are involved.
