Behold The Prefab Wonderland in Aries’ Used Relocatable Building Inventory

2018-12-18T17:57:21+00:00

James Cash Penney wisely stated, “Growth is never by mere chance; it is the result of forces working together.” Katie Roman, VP of Sales & Marketing at Aries said, “Collectively, our growth strategy is to skillfully work hard. We did, we are, and we will. Which is why we consistently find success.” Coincidence? We think not! Great industry leaders, from the department store business to the modular building industry, understand that mountains can be moved when people work together with undivided passion and skill towards a defined goal. The recent growth of modular building leader Aries Building Systems reflects this mindset, and they continue to strive to be the industry game changer when it comes to new modular construction, prefab used buildings, and relocatable housing. But alas, today we are focusing on Aries’ vast wonderland of used relocatable building inventory… and it’s gonna leave you slack-jawed if you’re a fiend of this sort. A modular building fiend, that is.

Recently, Aries Building Systems – and their partners at Advanced Modular Space – coordinated the launch of a spectacular online inventory of prefab buildings. We’re talking hundreds of used modular buildings that can be bought, leased, and even financed, thanks to the “Aries Turnkey Advantage” way of doing things. From entire workforce housing solutions to relocatable construction trailers, you can find what you’re looking on Aries’ used modular inventory pages. (They are known for their proficiency at delivering custom prefab buildings, too. So you really can’t go wrong.)

Let’s take a deeper dive into the specifics…

Commercial

Relocatable buildings for commercial use can encompass everything from prefab real estate offices to the ever-so-hip-right-now restaurant trailers and any modular custom facility you could dream up. Amongst the wide scope of offerings,  Aries has multiple mobile office trailers in a plethora of sizes: single, double, triple, quad, and higher available.

Recreation, Kitchen, and Rest Rooms

Maybe even in that order, because that’s a sign of a full life and a joyful existence! Whether you’re in the market for relocatable workout gyms or ringing the dinner bell to feed the masses, mobile trailers come in all shapes and sizes, and Aries has them all.

Crew Quarters & Hotel

It’s no secret that one of the many reasons Aries is a leader in used relocatable buildings is because they lead a double life. This is not a tawdry tale of secretly leasing modular restrooms to the enemy, but their noble effort to provide temporary workforce housing to companies that care enough to give their employees a “home away from home.” The vessel to this noble quest: Aries Residence Suites. Feel free to Google the heck outta them. They are killing it on the workforce housing front. Mobile crew trailers are the name of the game and relocatable hotel buildings which possess comfortable bedrooms, fully functional kitchens, and even up-to-date appliances upon request is how Aries aims to please. Visit our super special devoted landing page on the Aries Residence Suites website which features pictures and floorplans, or just get to it on our used mobile crew trailer inventory pages. By the way, you’ll even find mobile laundry trailers, prefab locker rooms, and all the kinds of things you’d expect to find in the area of crew quarters and modular hotels.

Classroom (Education)

Much like the Crew Quarters & Hotel section above, we’d be remiss in not mentioning, well, Aries doesn’t lead a double life, but maybe a triple life. In fact, let’s just scratch the covert references all together. This whole thing is out in the open, and Aries has way more going on that any other U.S. modular building company. There’s a certain division of Aries named Class Leasing devoted, but not limited to, relocatable classrooms. Aries as a whole have been very busy in the educational sector, recently winning awards from The Modular Building Institute for their work with Birdville ISD, a school system in Haltom City Texas, and taking home top honors in the relocatable education category for their work with the Ascension Parish School Board’s Flood Recovery Temporary Classrooms, in Gonzales, LA.

Medical

Aries can help you help them! From customized modular hospital buildings to mobile medical trailers and beyond, Aries provides a plethora of customizable options to meet all your temporary and/or permanent healthcare needs. Because every modular buildings Aries sells or leases, new or used, is under stringent codes and regulations, you will never have to worry about the quality and safety of your Aries modular facility.

Container & Construction

Aries now offers container buildings. Single mobile container, storage container, standard container buildings, generator container buildings, portable storage units… the list goes on! Portable construction trailers are a hot item, and Aries has a wide selection on their used portable building inventory pages.

A Special Note: Temporary Buildings for Disaster Relief

“Sometimes in life we get the opportunity to bring our work life into our personal life and ethics. Knowing that we have made a real difference in the face of disaster is the biggest career reward.”

  • Katie Roman, VP of Sales & Marketing, Aries Building Systems

Aries has a history of delivering emergency relocatable buildings for disaster relief, including the devastating Canadian wildfire of May 2016  and, recently being awarded by the Modular Building Institute for their work in response to the flooding in Louisiana resulting from long periods of torrential downpours in August 2016. Aries has a devoted international emergency relief page on their website.

Aries is owned by Reliant Asset Management, a leading specialty rental company providing premier modular space solutions to customers throughout North America. From remote workforce housing to single and multi-story buildings for growing businesses and organizations, Reliant Asset Management and its subsidiaries support a wide range of modular needs including design, manufacturing, transportation, construction, and financing.

The Future of the Modular Building Industry

2019-02-08T20:21:57+00:00

It’s nearly 2018, and the modular building industry continues to make strong inroads in the construction world.

Although modular homes only make up 2% of new development in the U.S, the effectiveness of the modular construction method is starting to grab the attention of developers for large-scale projects. Take for example 461 Dean, the world’s tallest modular apartment building. Although setbacks within the development led to a delayed end product, 461 Dean still stands as a testament, and as a goalpost as to what’s possible when modular construction is properly employed.

The modular method is particularly attractive to those who want to fight against growing problems of homelessness, increasing rent prices, and growing populations.

The ever-evolving factory technology is also pushing modular construction forward. Automated systems, advanced robotics, and BIM technologies continue to develop. These developments will massively reduce the cost associated with modular buildings (which already has a major cost advantage over stick built construction.)

Showing the world an example of how these technologies can be utilized, China-based company Broad Group has completed the following feats:

  • In 2010 BSB constructed Ark hotel: 15-story in just 48 hours.
  • In 2011 BSB completed T-30, a 30-story hotel, in just 15 days.
  • In 2015 BSB completed J57, a 57-story mixed use building in just 19 days.

Growing interest in sustainability is also pushing the modular industry forward. A focus on green development, which modular construction accomplishes by reducing material waste, and carbon emissions from travel between construction sites is reduced, is becoming all the more important as countries seek ways to reduce their carbon footprint.

When you’re seeking the latest in modular developments, look no further than Aries Building Systems. We are a full turn-key modular building manufacturer and financier that is sure to make your next project a success.
