Key Questions to Ask a Modular Construction Company before Hiring Them
by Jennifer W. Digital MarketerThe modular commercial building industry is booming. As of 2019, it's
a billionaire industry that contractors frequently choose because of its
efficiency, cost, safety, etc.
Building plants
create modular commercial buildings
off-site. After the manufacturing plant has produced separate parts, they get
shipped to the construction site. Construction crews can assemble modular
buildings quickly and safely using significantly fewer materials than
traditional construction.
If you're looking
for efficiency with no limits on customization, commercial modular buildings
are what you need. Before you commit to the project, please be sure to ask the
construction company the following questions.
● How Long Will the Project Take?
Modular
commercial buildings can expand
faster than conventional structures by 30-50 percent. You could have a new
building within 30-60 days, depending on the size. Request a time estimate from
your commercial modular construction
company. If you are looking at a modular project that lasts months, it might
not be worth it. You could be working with an inefficient and backlogged
company.
● Do You Offer Permanent and Moveable Construction?
Modular
commercial buildings may be permanent or mobile. A permanent building offers
more customization and has the same features as a traditional building. A modular commercial building that can
get relocated may get used as a temporary classroom, office, or storage. Moving
modular buildings are not built on concrete foundations and quickly
disassembled to move away from them.
Determine your needs
before consulting a commercial modular service. If you are unsure of your
long-term plans, a moveable building is more efficient. Moveable structures,
however, lose equity and are not constructed to last long. After you have made
your decision, find a company that provides the type of modular construction
you need.
● What Businesses Have You Worked Within the Past?
Modular
construction is an excellent choice for schools, hospitals, churches, etc. Ask
the firms you 're working with who they've worked in the past. Ideally, you 're
going to learn about working with a company that is close to yours or one with
the same needs.
● Do You Offer Design Services?
Not all modular
companies provide services in design and architecture. Before beginning, weigh
the expense of outsourcing the design or partnering with a company with an
in-house architect. The cost may vary depending on your timeline and building
needs. However, working with a modular company offering a full range of
services could make your project easier to manage.
Understanding If Modular Construction
Is Right For You
Finally, modular
construction is an excellent solution for businesses looking to ramp up
quickly. Compared to prefabricated commercial buildings, the modular buildings
entirely built off-site, making the entire process more efficient. They are
more sustainable and cost-effective for projects like schools and hospitals,
where you're looking to add similar-looking buildings quickly.
