How to Choose Your Next New/Used Modular Building

2022-05-04T16:08:31+00:00

An image of a clipboard slanted to the right on a dark wooden table with a red pencil sitting on top. A piece of paper that has text that reads, “How to Choose Your Next New/Used Modular Building” and the Aries’ logo written in black with a ram in dark red to the left of the text.

Are you in the market for a modular building? Great! This article is intended to help you make informed decisions about the features your building will need depending on your industry. No matter what the building’s end use will be, there are a few things you’ll need to keep in mind and prepare for!

Is it permanent or temporary modular building unit?

— Have a plan for how long you want to utilize the modular building. Depending on your timeframe, it might be more appropriate to rent or lease-to-own instead of outright purchase. Remember, modular buildings depreciate faster than one traditionally built, meaning you can get your ROI sooner! How? If you’re looking for a relocatable building in the U.S., tax laws allow taxpayers to claim a depreciation relief for the decline in value of their assets – and the quicker the asset depreciates, the quicker you can claim the asset and recoup your investment.

ALWAYS check your local town and zoning laws.

— You don’t want to move forward until you are intimately familiar and plan to adhere to them. Note: Companies like Aries are happy to assist customers in acquiring necessary documents issued by a local government agency or building department certifying your building’s compliance with applicable building codes and other laws. In fact, the best modular building companies will make sure you have any permit requirements needed to satisfy the appropriate approval agency; including special foundation systems, ramps, fire alarm systems, etc.

Know your location.

— Carefully survey the area you want to place your building. Will a concrete foundation be required? If you’re in a location where it will snow, you will require a deeper foundation and a roof capable of heavier loads than a building where there isn’t snow.

When going modular, there are many things to consider — electricity, water connections, septic systems, and leveling the land. Aries has a full design and engineering team that can assist customers throughout the entire process.

What Is modular construction?

Modular construction is when a building is constructed offsite. It uses the same materials, same codes, and same standards as conventional construction, but it’s done in half the time under controlled settings. Modular construction can be either permanent or relocatable. Permanent modular construction (PMC) is when the buildings are completed offsite, transported to the final building site, and assembled on a foundation. Relocatable buildings (RBs) are partially or fully assembled buildings that comply with codes and regulations, constructed offsite, then transported to the building site. They are designed to be reused and repurposed multiple times and are not permanently affixed.

Modular buildings are flexible. They allow you to contract and expand space quickly, minimize operation disruption, have a low environmental impact, and maximize construction budgets. Building offsite in a well-controlled factory means no site disruption, improved safety and security while building, and eliminates many of the construction hazards that conventional construction can experience.

Modular units may also be designed to fit in with external aesthetics of any existing building and modular units once assembled can be virtually indistinguishable from a site-built structure.

MODULAR BUILDINGS FOR WORKFORCE HOUSING

Providing a clean and functional living space is a top priority when seeking accommodations for your workforce. Aries’ sister company — Aries Residence Suites — is a full-service provider of workforce housing focusing on quality, value, comfort, and service. We understand the large-scale housing needs of oil field and energy companies, seasonal workers, and other remote labor industries.

Aries takes great pride in meeting those needs with our experienced team of engineering, manufacturing, facility management, and sales professionals. We are here to deliver your workers a home away from home. Besides having existing extended stay locations within the U.S., Aries is also able to customize any workforce housing project to suit your location and needs.

Things to consider when buying or leasing relocatable workforce housing:

  • Can my workforce housing modular units be delivered within the time frame I need?
  • Do the modular communities come with additional options such as turn-key services like food service, cleaning service, and waste management?
  • Do my modular housing units come with maintenance contracts?
  • Are the units high-quality and comfortable?

MOBILE BUILDINGS FOR COMMERCIAL USE

There is a covered rollaway ramp parked next to the building. The phrase, “COMMERCIAL MODULAR BUILDING” is in white text on the bottom right.

Whether it be an office building expansion or a full retail space, you’ll want to ensure that you’re providing a clean, aesthetically pleasing space. Retail and hospitality industries can plan on earlier occupancy, giving them a faster return on investment when they choose to go modular. Buildings can be designed to look and function as traditional facilities.

For commercial buildings, it is advisable to include features like reflective membrane roof finishing, prime insulation, and efficient air conditioning units.

It can cost more upfront, but in the lifespan of your use, these features will keep maintenance costs way down. Employee productivity goes up when given an open, naturally-lit working environment. Dedicate a lot of space for your employees to maneuver around in.

Things to consider when buying or leasing my mobile building for commercial use:

  • Do I need new mobile construction, or should I consider used modular building inventory?
  • Will I be best served investing in a permanent or temporary structure?
  • Will I eventually need multiple locations and expansion ability?

MOBILE BUILDINGS FOR EDUCATION

Is the student population growing larger than your classroom space? Have no fear! Modular classrooms offer affordable and quick solutions. Modular buildings bring with them no disruption to students and staff because they are built offsite. They can be designed to “fit in” with your existing facilities’ exterior materials and color.

Giving students an aesthetically pleasing and functional learning facility increases productivity and retention — things like having higher ceilings, attractively painted walls, and great natural lighting.

For a more optimized and excellent learning space, noise distractions from the outside should also be controlled using soundproof wall systems. These features will add little to the overall cost but will significantly increase the value of the building, both to your students and potential resale value.

Things to consider when buying or leasing my mobile building for educational use:

  • Do I need new, or should I consider buying used modular classrooms and buildings?
  • Is this permanent or temporary, and does it need to be relocatable?
  • How customized does it need to be?
  • Should I consider a “piggyback contract” (bypass bidding)?
  • Is the modular classroom DSA-approved?

Aries has the best to offer when it comes to modular buildings in the educational sector – whether it be modular classrooms, portable administrative offices, relocatable gyms or cafeterias… the list goes on! Offering quick delivery of portable classrooms for K-12 schools and universities, Aries is North America’s premier modular industry supplier of full turnkey solutions from design and logistics through leasing and financing.

MOBILE BUILDINGS FOR HEALTHCARE

Although patients’ needs are urgent, you should NEVER skimp on the details in a rush to meet demand when you need to expand. It is essential to know the ultimate goal your healthcare space is trying to accomplish.

The quality and safety of your portable healthcare buildings are paramount. They are under stringent codes and regulations. You’ll want to make sure your modular clinic is well insulated but be cautious about your insulation type! Porous insulation can support microbial growth.

Second, specialized medical equipment is heavy — when ordering, make sure that the floor can support all the weight. Floor load capacity depends on the material used to make the floor and the foundation underneath. Lastly, installing an HVAC system that allows you to control zoning, air filtration, and humidity is a must-have in a medical environment.

Things to consider when buying or leasing my mobile healthcare building:

  • Do I need new, or should I consider used inventory?
  • Is this permanent or temporary, and does it need to be relocatable?
  • How customized does it need to be?
  • Is the modular space company GSA-approved?

Are you looking to build a doctor’s office, medical laboratory, or fully-functional hospital? Aries has customizable modules and an expert team of engineering professionals to help you achieve the best modular healthcare facility that meets all your requirements.

MOBILE BUILDINGS FOR INDUSTRIAL USE

When using a modular building in an industrial setting, safety and precaution are your chief concerns.

A photograph of two modular building under a blue sky. The modular buildings are resting on a grassless field. The phrase, “INDUSTRIAL MODULAR BUILDING” is in white text on the upper left.

To achieve an industrial modular building that’s safe and workable, many considerations are essential to watch for. When it comes to fire safety, one should never cut corners. The cost difference between ½ inch thick sheetrock and flame-retardant sheetrock is minimal, but implementing additional safety is invaluable. Making sure the soundproofing is good is key to keeping your employees happy and productive. Lastly, dust and other debris are often kicked up in industrial settings. You’ll want to be sure that your HVAC unit’s filters are constantly replaced to maintain acceptable air quality.

Things to consider:

  • Does the modular company have experience with location permits of site installation services for utilities?
  • Does the modular company provide a warranty?
  • Is the modular unit weather-prepared?
  • Do I require customizations such as blast-resistance or additional pandemic safety measures?

Luckily for you, Aries modular buildings are sturdier and more reliable than those traditionally built. From construction trailers to GLO’s, we’ve got you covered. (Check out GLO floor plans here!)

PLAY WHILE LEARNING?

Have fun while attending a global event? Yes please! Welcome to the 2022 World of Modular Annual Convention and Tradeshow. From April 25th to April 28th in San Antonio, Texas, there will be four days of the industry’s best in modular construction open to the public and to professionals. Whether you’re familiar with modular construction or not, this event will make you rethink what modular can be. With attendees and presenters from across the world such as Europe, South Korea, and Canada to more domestic participants from California, Washington DC, and Texas, this is a networking bonanza that educates and promotes while keeping you on the cutting edge of tomorrow’s technologies. If you need to research commercial modular builders, this tradeshow is your resource. Let us take you on a brief tour of what you can expect at 2022 WOM.

WHAT TO KNOW

The World of Modular is presented by the Modular Building Institute (MBI), an international non-profit trade association that focuses on modular construction. Comprised of members that specialize in permanent modular construction, relocatable modular buildings, and related services, MBI brings the world of modular together.

This year, for the first time, MBI’s 2022 WOM convention has a digital option. Whether you’re registering for digital attendance or for the in-person experience, check out their agenda to get an inside peek at the invaluable educational experience and expertise that you will have access to.

GET EDUCATED, GET INFORMED

While the list of keynote and featured speakers is expansive, equally are the topics, ranging from the housing crisis, performance metrics of modular technologies and applications, to the evolution of policies, industrialization trends, and so much more. With so much to choose from, where should you start?

We suggest starting with Anirban Basu, chairman and CEO of Sage Policy Group, Inc. Basu is the James Bond of analytics and the Agatha Christie of economic trends, and if you read his full bio, those last two statements will make more sense. One of Washington DC’s premiere economists, recognized as one of Maryland’s 50 most influential people, and Baltimore’s 20 most powerful business leaders, Mr. Basu also teaches at Johns Hopkins and has authored Modular Building Institute’s “Economic & Financial Performance of Relocatable Buildings in the U.S. Modular Building Industry.” He understands supply, demand, and the impact of strategic decisions on a community and industry. His presentation on “Construction Drivers and Trends for 2022” is a must. Featured alongside some of the industry’s most forward-thinking innovators, his in-depth knowledge is a great starting point for all your interests in modular construction and explains why Aries Modular Buildings would sponsor him.

What makes Aries the expert on who should be a speaker at WOM?

Need a mobile office? Aries has you covered. Need more breathing space for your growing school? Aries has that too. A recent case study (link to Holy Catholic School Case Study) illustrates just how effective Aries’ end-to-end services can accommodate those needs. Need a temporary emergency unit, a permanent government facility, or something more custom? That’s right, Aries is here for you. Aries is a modular building provider that offers full turnkey solutions with exceptional customer service and robust financing options. They offer quotes on modular projects of any kind. That’s what they do,  they provide space.

Plus, they’ve been one of the sponsors for the World of Modular for a fourth year in a row and with good reason. WOM is a great opportunity to network, exchange ideas, and learn from industry experts. Aries is in good company with near 30 companies taking an interest in sharing and solving some of the world’s most pressing issues. All while having fun!

HAVE MORE FUN

After all of that, is there any need for more? Of course, there is! This year’s convention is at La Cantera Resort & Spa, a luxury resort nestled in the Hill Country of San Antonio. This property has seemingly endless amenities to keep you entertained. In addition to the aforementioned golf tournament, you have access to a tennis and pickle ball court, there are nine bars and restaurants on property to choose from, five resort pools, a spa and wellness center, a fitness center, and running trails.

If you are looking for something more and are itching to get off property, catch a shuttle to the San Antonio Zoo, the theme park Six Flags, or San Antonio’s Riverwalk. Visit nearby Hill Country wineries, experience 300 years of Texas at The Alamo or go to The Robert L.B. Tobin Land Bridge wildlife park just 20 minutes away. Off property or on, the 2022 World of Modular Annual Convention and Tradeshow offers plenty of play while learning.

Custom Modular Classroom Case Study

Austin, Texas, is currently the fastest-growing urban city, considering the impact COVID has had recently. According to the latest U.S. Census report, there has been a steep incline in population growth within the past twenty years, a 21% increase within the last decade alone. The city has had at least a 4% birthrate near the national average. This kind of information is necessary for the Austin Independent School District in planning the city’s projected educational needs. Although COVID concerns have depressed AISD’s public school enrollments, charter and private schools have seen an uptick.

With the pandemic demanding safer space solutions, overcrowded classrooms become problematic. Coupled with steady annual growth in student population, the issue becomes exacerbated. Such was the case for this Private Catholic School.

THE PROBLEM

Seven Catholic parishes are growing quickly that feed into and support this Catholic School. With a desire to provide a school that “works with parents to nurture the whole child’s growth — spiritually, intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically,” this Catholic School was established in 2000 to meet the community’s needs.

“…we believe in educating the whole child: heart, mind, body, and soul.” – Principal of the Catholic School.

Starting with 158 students and a staff of 18, the school consisted of eight portable buildings temporarily housed at one of the local parishes. The following year, the campus moved to a 20-acre plot within the Texas Hill Country. However, it wasn’t until recently, with their student body reaching over 650 from Pre-K to eighth grade, that Phase II of their mission came to fruition. In desperate need of additional space, the school investigated modular solutions, having previous experience with portable buildings in their early years.

In the background against the wall is a row of wooden cabinets with a microwave, sink, dishwasher, refrigerator, and garbage can.

THE SOLUTION

There can be a lot of trepidation around prefabricated buildings if you are new to the concept. However, portable buildings are a common solution for overcrowded educational facilities. Already familiar with the benefits this type of modern construction can offer, by way of their original eight buildings, the school turned to Aries Building Systems to help bring in Phase II of their mission.

As with most schools, budget-friendly is a necessity. There are cost savings to modular buildings in lieu of brick and mortar. Plus, the school needed specific design aspects to be taken care of so the new buildings would seamlessly blend with the old brick and mortar buildings already on the campus. Aries was able to provide this service for even more cost savings. Typically, there is also a time-saving in modular construction versus traditional construction. However, the pandemic handicapped all construction, and the industry is still recovering as are many businesses. The pandemic was just one more challenge to overcome.

Nevertheless, Aries Buildings delivered 31 modules, 100% modular, and 100% completed before leaving the factory. Over 11,000 square feet of one-story buildings were added to the existing campus. The buildings were being built at a facility at the same time that work was underway to prepare the property. Fortunately, jurisdictional authorities did not require additional or special documentation to install the units.

Design Features of Aries Modular Buildings for School Campus

Aries’ team designed the new custom modular classrooms to match the brick-and-mortar buildings that were previously built when the school was founded. The exterior of the buildings are brick and stucco, with metal roofs, and have storefront quality windows and doors.Parents and students see these custom modular classroom as the first buildings when they enter the campus. The interior consists of kinetic carpet, tape and textured walls, elevated ceilings, and accent walls throughout the custom modular classrooms. With customizable floor plans, a wide array of options was available to meet the customer’s needs.

CHALLENGES

The modular buildings were installed in the drainage area of the campus, which required the Aries’ team to develop multiple drainage systems to divert water safely away from the building footprints. The mechanical system was designed and installed under the City of Austin’s environmental requirements to keep the operation costs low, and at the same time be eco-friendly. Green concrete alternatives including Tru-Grid were utilized to minimalize the impervious coverage of the construction to avoid increasing the retention ponds on a tight campus footprint. The Aries’ team worked with the staff at the school to keep the costs in check during the installation amid a pandemic.

Even with these challenges, the Aries’ team was able to design, build, and install modular buildings that match the existing campus, providing different visual elevations that the current facilities did not provide, solved environmental challenges, with a pleasing aesthetic inside and out, and all in time to start the new school year in 2021.

It is projected that Austin, Texas will continue its trajectory of growth. This beloved Catholic School is now prepared for that growth and Aries Building Systems is ready too!

“I invite you to explore our website and learn more about our faith-filled community and I hope to see you on our beautiful campus soon!” – Erin Vu, principal of The Catholic School

Permanent Modular Construction vs. Relocatable Buildings

At Aries, we understand the importance of patience and perseverance. However, we also understand that instant solutions can be the difference between success and failure in some things. That’s why we specialize in turn-key solutions to get our clients’ most significant projects rolling towards success. Within our model, we focus on two types of construction: permanent and temporary.

A red and white graphic sign with the word “later” crossed out and “now” written underneath in red.

Permanent Modular Construction vs. Relocatable Buildings:

The Commonalities:

Both permanent and temporary solutions are prefabricated in factories, leading to higher quality, efficiency, and predictability than traditional construction. Again, both permanent and temporary solutions feature modern, custom designs that include fixtures, ramps, doors, and interior finishes. Clients can separate or expand rooms and add sliding doors, glass barriers, screens, projectors, and amenities.

The process is very similar for both, with a dedicated one-on-one professional accompanying clients from concept to delivery. So, what is the difference between the two modular building innovations?

Financing:

When considering a permanent versus non-permanent modular construction, clients should consider the different financial options available with each. Mainly, relocatable buildings give leasing options, offering clients an added layer of flexibility. Also, the materials, preparation, and foundations needed for permanent buildings usually come with added costs, although these typically remain below traditional construction costs. Finally, the depreciation schedule on each type of building can vary, making a difference in reporting company finances.

Flexibility:

Each type of modular building offers flexibility in different areas. Of course, relocatable buildings allow companies the flexibility to use the space as temporary swing space or as an office that moves from Jobsite to Jobsite. Classrooms, construction offices, and storage containers can usually benefit from this characteristic.

However, permanent buildings allow clients to expand existing buildings with new modular components seamlessly. While they can be connected structurally to main buildings, Relocatable buildings usually cannot seamlessly interact with a pre-existing structure in the way permanent buildings can.

Set-up time:

Clients looking for instant solutions can sometimes find themselves in a time scramble. The turn-key solution can be set up and ready to go in as little as 24 hours with relocatable buildings. This can guide their choice between permanent versus temporary modular buildings.

Compared to the blistering timeline of relocatable buildings, permanent buildings can take up to 4 weeks to complete. It’s worth mentioning that the permanent modular building set-up schedule still crushes all traditional competition. The time savings are produced by the assembly line nature of the construction because the foundation and building can both be worked on simultaneously.

The Aries’ formula:

As a big company, with a small company feel, you can rest assured that you will get a human voice when you call our lines. Our process takes clients through a customized process from start to finish that guarantees our clients will find the right solution just for them. We are the trusted modular building provider for North America!

Multi-use Modular: Rethinking Uses for Modular Buildings

2022-07-11T21:27:36+00:00
White, modular futuristic building with blue sky and clouds in the background.

When someone mentions modular buildings, do images of long, skinny breadbox-shaped trailers pop up into your mind? Ddoes it evoke a dystopian future of trailers stacked a mile high like in the sci-fi book Ready Player One? Join us on this brief journey allowing us to dispel those notions and bring you into the here and now with examples of multi-use modular building along with their equally evocative appearances throughout the world.

From the popular, economically driven tiny house movement to the pandemic-driven necessity for temporary medical facility expansions as well as extra buildings on countless educational campuses, off-site buildings, which are also known as modular construction, have become a growing choice for many reasons that include lower labor and material costs as well as eco-friendly and quality control practices. However, modular building is considered and chosen for far more reasons than these. Architects are finding ways to incorporate modular into their flexible living designs as well as work solutions.

Corner view of the balconies on a tall, modern, white modular building in Alberobello, Puglia, Italy, a blue sky with a few clouds is in the background.

Flexible designs often account for when you cannot build out, you can build up.

Infill development has become a necessity in many congested cities, such as Brooklyn, which have demographics accounting for residents with limited-incomes, like college students or lower-income families, or need to house much needed industrial workers. Multi-use modular constructions has made it possible to build student housing, pre-fab apartments, and condos within already crowded urban areas.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, architects have embraced modular construction for luxury homes. Potential homeowners can work with the architect to take prefab components and, like LegoTM blocks, assemble their ideal home. The configurations are endless and the end-results are stunning. Pick up a Dwell magazine and you’ll be pleasantly surprised to find contemporary modern luxury modular homes being showcased alongside traditional homes.

Builders are not just using modular for living spaces as we mentioned before. Medical centers, schools, and temporary offices have long considered and utilized modular solutions. Increasingly, off-site building has shown-up in a myriad of innovative projects.

Nestled in a scenic village in Switzerland, an award-winning designer watchmaker found the perfect place to grow during its business boom. The designer turned towards the modular building to expand the facilities, opting for a modern aesthetic that matched the creative designs of their watches. On the other hand, provide a more fluid work environment to support the design teams.

Nearby in Germany, the city of Munich utilized modular buildings to create a temporary space to display their classical music performances while their old building was under renovation. During the design process of the new concert hall, the acoustics was as important as everything else. In other words, the prefabricated buildings can fulfill their specialized function as much as their form.

In the realm of hospitality, sustainable tourism has entered the modular scene.

When you want to minimize the environmental impact from construction, modular building is an obvious choice. A boutique hotel and restaurant in the Yucatán appeals to the eco-conscious tourist who desires to explore its many cenotes and living fossils.

In another boutique hotel in Slovakia, a tourist can enjoy the snow and mountains in modular cabins strategically placed between the trees to allow for a more immersive experience. These cubicular cabins offer glass-filled walls to further optimize the surrounding views.

In China, a modular floating system was chosen to align with the region’s ancient water history while adding a contemporary element.

China uses these modular buildings as an exhibition space, information center, and an open-air concert hall. Adaptable in use, these prefabricated triangular buildings are not only unique in their presentation but inventive in their application for nature-based solutions, like water-laden landscapes. Designed to address urbanization and environmental factors, the prefabricated structures are used as schools in developing regions around the world.

Peek into the future with this concept for water dwellings that also attempt to juxtapose form and function alongside environmental elements. This designer and the aforementioned modular projects have been dynamic in their designs and applications. Progressively, economic and environmental circumstances are being factored into development and modular buildings are keeping pace with what modular could be and can offer.

We have pulled you from the past of trailer parks into the present of creative modular buildings. Off-site building continues to be a solution as mentioned before for shifting demographics, inner city building, and challenging landscapes. Push past the limitations of our former years and let us evoke and inspire. The evolution of modular building in 2022 is full of endless possibilities!

Aries Naughty & Nice List: Modular Buildings

2022-07-11T22:13:57+00:00
A clever view of the unmistakable Santa Claus, as he’s holding up a scroll of brown parchment paper blocking his face, with Aries’ logo prominently branded across his “naughty and nice” modular building list.

Paired with the sleigh bells and the Christmas carols, comes the “Naughty and Nice List.” At Aries, we work hard all year to be on our customers’ good side as the best modular building company. That means doing the best job in modular, bar none. We have the best modular construction and the highest quality modular buildings on the market, and that’s just the way we like it.

What does it take to be on the “Nice List” as the best in modular? Here’s a “Naughty and Nice List” of the best and worst practices in the modular industry.

“Naughty List”:

A large “no” sign in neat lavender letters painted on what looks to be an asphalt surface.

Relying on the attractiveness of the product while neglecting service and company culture.

Modular solves many of the world’s most pressing problems. There’s wide consensus that modular is gaining strength and is poised to change the construction industry. As an environmentally friendly way to supply affordable housing, many cities see hope in modular building progress.

Yet, as the modular B2 in Atlantic Yards Brooklyn proves, having a great product is only half the battle. The B2 Tower was “delayed, stalled, and since re-started to reach half its ultimate height—[and] will take more than twice as long as promised and cost far more than projected.” While more than just managerial conflicts caused this unimpressive result, better team cohesion across all the moving parts of this project could have helped foresee and prevent many of the obstacles.

The lesson? Creating a strong, experienced group of workers to back up the product can ensure the success of modular buildings. And the B2 project? Despite its innumerable setbacks, it was still done in less time and more affordably than traditional construction.

Relying on modular’s simplicity while ignoring the potential variables.

Prefabricated modular construction skirts many of the major risks involved with traditional construction, from weather delays to job-site accidents and low worker productivity. Yet inexperienced modular workers often fail to consider all the factors that go into a successful set-up for modular buildings. This false sense of comfort can work against them when the rubber hits the road. Proper preparation prevents setbacks. Consequently, all it takes is attentiveness to the client for facilitators to understand what they’ll need for a proper set-up.

The lesson? The best modular building companies listen intently to their clients. From finding job sites that haven’t been assigned an address, to robotic pullers which can place modular buildings where trucks can’t reach, every job comes with its own set of complications. Those who do the best job in modular know that listening can prevent these problems from becoming obstacles to final delivery.

Getting caught in the old-fashioned idea that modular means one-size-fits-all.

Times are changing. From digitalization to new manufacturing methods, clients can expect more than ever from their modular buildings. For instance, Classrooms with sliding doors, modules with extra security features, and office complexes with technological interfaces have all become standard practice for the best modular building companies. They supply turnkey solutions that give the client peace of mind. When they sign the contract, they get a hassle-free solution to their most pressing needs.

A prime example of this is the hazard resistant modular buildings which are created to withstand explosions, debris, as wells as heat at high-risk facilities. These awesome structures utilize concrete instead of steel to give their building the required characteristics, without betraying their modular nature and the associated benefits. That flexibility is the future of modular.

The lesson? Great modular construction companies understand that they should tackle the customization mountain, rather than depend on a one-size-fits-all approach. Despite the relative ease of modular construction, companies should focus on providing turnkey solutions. That is to say that the building’s stairs, plumbing, accessories, as well as licenses are complete for the client.

The “Nice List”: Best Job in Modular

A worker with a yellow hard-hat and fluorescent yellow vest writes on a form using a blue pen.

After exploring some of the ways modular companies get themselves in hot water, let’s review the takeaways:

Best Job in Modular Good Practice #1

Creating a strong, experienced group of workers to back up the product can ensure the success of modular buildings.

At Aries, we work hard to create an attractive, worker-friendly environment as well as recruit the best workers from around the nation to join our workforce. They have decades of experience, sometimes with our competitors, and join Aries. In conclusion they know the business model and quality buildings will allow them to enjoy their work.

Best Job in Modular Good Practice #2

The best modular building companies listen intently to their clients.

Aries understands that our modular business thrives through relationships. That is to say that when you call, your personal Aries’ representative— no waits, moreover, no switching around. An experienced modular professional makes sure to find out exactly what you need and promise a turnkey solution.

Best Job in Modular Good Practice #3

Great modular construction companies understand that they should tackle the customization mountain, rather than depend on a one-size-fits-all approach.
