Delivering Construction Office Trailers in Texas and Beyond!

2020-09-08T21:05:02+00:00
A relocatable building, which is still on a flatbed truck with wheels that can be seen underneath, is ready to be set down on a dirt patch in San Marcos beside a long straight road, underneath a blue, cloudy sky, and a large water tower that can be seen in the distance.

 

Construction companies know as much as anyone about getting things done.

It is no small feat to coordinate all the moving parts of a construction project. Providers, workers, engineers, surveyors, and clients must synchronize their movements, while battling stringent deadlines and unpredictable weather. In one of the most dangerous modern professions, communication and concentration not only determine the success of projects, but the safety of the workers.

Cue construction office trailers. These hallmarks of construction sites are the lubricants for the machine. From on-site meetings, to breakrooms, and security deposits, on-site modular offices are an all-in-one solution for keeping projects on-time and safe.

In San Antonio, this picture shows the corner of a relocatable building on concrete blocks, the air conditioning unit is affixed on the end of the building, and a metal ramp leading up to the door of the building can be seen in the frame, all on a flat, gravel dirt patch. A red trailer hitch is in the foreground near the end with the AC.

 

However, construction companies looking for the best modular providers know getting quality buildings is only half the battle. In an industry where efficiency matters, modular providers must set themselves apart through high levels of professionalism and commitment.

Case and point, Aries’ recent construction office deliveries to San Marcos, Austin, and San Antonio in Texas. The end result? Happy customers.

Industry veteran Richard “Dee” Stephens II gives some crucial insights into what it takes. He has come to understand that it is all about relationship and trust.

Take the NRP Group, for example. Aries had become a preferred provider, with multiple Aries’ relocatable buildings out with the constructor.

“When they call, I’m right there,” says Stephens.

And knowing they can count on him goes a long way. For example, because of COVID mandates, construction companies have had to set up several protocols. Dee makes sure that every time he has contact with the client, he is compliant and efficient to avoid any snags.

“They also like the buildings are some of the newest in the industry,” he says, commenting on the reason Aries’ offices are in such high demand, not only in Texas, but throughout North America.

A light grey construction office building raised above the ground on concrete blocks, with a large air-conditioning unit on the end of the building, is on a dirt patch with green trees and a cloudy, blue sky in the background.

 

This type of attention to detail and focus on relationship has allowed Aries to be a trusted partner to the NRP Group and other top companies such as Bartlett Cocke and the Maker Brothers. They can count on Aries to always be attentive and cause minimal disruption at the jobsite so that the construction projects can continue unmolested. Successful construction office delivery is as much about seamlessness in the service as it is in the quality of the buildings.

 

As the Maker Brothers’ multimillion-dollar complex goes up in Austin, Aries is proud to continue its tradition of service based on quality, trust, and quick delivery. With offices not only in use in Austin, San Marcos, and San Antonio, but around North America, Aries is always ready to respond.

6 Reasons Portable Buildings Keep Construction Projects On-Time

2019-10-03T16:35:38+00:00

A close up of a white and black street sign in the form of an arrow pointing left in front of a blue sky with a puffy white cloud and with the word “Construction” printed in black letters.

Far from being in opposition to traditional construction, portable buildings generate benefits for improving, accelerating, and simplifying traditional construction projects. Whether they are used as planning centers or integrated into the traditional construction project, portable buildings are uniquely positioned to be a linchpin in the complex, project- driven, time-sensitive construction industry.

The following list highlights six of the most common benefits offered by utilizing portable buildings in construction:

1) Portable Buildings, a Bulwark Against Inefficiency

A large, yellow boom truck with a man-basket sits idly amidst the frame of a large metallic building backed by a blue sky with wispy white clouds and another boom truck can be seen in the construction site along with a pile of dirt, a few trees, and a man in a grey shirt.

Many construction sites completely forego or underuse portable offices. Portable modular offices are trailers customized as offices that have one or several work areas. Although solving construction site inefficiency requires multidimensional analyses, on-site offices offer one straightforward way to increase managerial presence on a jobsite and reduce worker frustrations.

First, statistics that illustrate the importance of managerial presence:

  • “25 to 50 percent waste in coordinating labor and in managing, moving, and installing materials.” (Modular Building Institute)
  • “Further studies show that somewhere between 50% and 68% percent of [construction] workers’ time is wasted.” (CCIM Institute)
  • “Construction holds the dubious honor of having the lowest productivity gains of any industry […] In America, astonishingly, [productivity] has plunged by half since the late 1960s.” (The Economist)
  • Trust “has been determined by many studies as an excellent determinant to successful projects”.
  • According to the Project Management Institute, the most common source of worker frustrations is:
    • ‘Can’t find anybody for an answer.’
    • ‘Your problems are always urgent — holding up crews for an answer.’
    • ‘Crews become frustrated as they wait for information.’”
    • ‘Somebody should catch interferences. Less supervision would be required if engineers preparing blueprints would conduct constructability reviews and communicate directly with the people doing construction.’

Although many factors contribute to these statistics, one clear-cut solution lies in considering on-site-offices, an indispensable part of construction projects. Engineers, contractors, clients, workers, surveyors, and overseers benefit from having a central hub where they can meet in an ample, climate-controlled environment with direct contact at the project site.

2) Portable Buildings Match Construction Timelines 

Some construction companies acquire a fleet of relocatable offices that can be moved around from project to project. Others prefer leasing options that allow them to use modular offices for a short period of time before returning them.

In the ever-changing landscape of construction, companies appreciate that relocatable office contracts conform themselves to the demands of the project. For short term products, companies can lease an office and have it installed and ready in as little as 24 hours.

“We set it all up, and when they are done with the job, we come pick it up, get it out of the way and move on to another site,” says Richard Stephens, a veteran of the industry.

For longer term projects or to tackle a series of projects, companies can lease long- term or purchase offices that they take with them wherever the incoming projects require them.

3) Speed, Safety, and Minimal On-site Disturbance

As with all modular buildings, portable construction offices require very little manpower to set up. Some trailers can be set-up in as little as 24 hours and are assembled on-site without affecting the ongoing construction operation.

The buildings themselves adhere to all construction standards and companies can have the latest engineering equipment and materials in these buildings without sacrificing strength and durability as each module is designed to withstand the force of transportation and on-site assembly.

They can be connected to electrical networks, running water, and sewer to provide operating toilets, artificial lighting, air-conditioning, and showers, among other utilities. They are designed to meet the customer’s space needs. Additionally, construction offices can be equipped with different types of stairs, ramps, windows, shelves, doors, and accessories.

4) Expanded Portfolios for Urgent Projects

Portable, modular construction has become more versatile than ever.

Fast-food chains, universities, emergency networks, schools, sports teams, and government agencies, just to name a few, have all turned their attention to the advantages offered by portable construction. Hospitals and schools, for example, are environments that require minimal invasive activity during construction and are often on very strict timetables. Modular offices have a low demand for raw materials, low-cost reconfiguration, and offer time savings.

Construction companies use modular building purchased from outside providers as a way to expand their portfolio by creating hybrid projects that place modular buildings alongside traditional construction.

Many clients appreciate when construction companies offer these portable solutions alongside more permanent buildings. For example, the Montgomery County’s school district paid 5 million dollars for portable buildings that would give it flexibility as the school district grew. Many universities have used specialty portable buildings like locker rooms, offices, dorm rooms, modular classrooms, and educational buildings.

Additionally, portable buildings offer standard or customized plans for multiple purposes: construction sites, administration, sales centers, laboratories, field work, training, real estate, warehouses, schools, medical clinics, sanitary, and special purpose premises.

5) Improved Safety Keeps Projects Moving

Modular offices provide on-site managers a place to keep high-tech equipment, computers, and paperwork. This allows all the relevant workplace material to stay-on site reducing the risk of it being lost or damaged. It also assures that the right tools will be in the hands of the workers on demand.

6) Mobile Offices Solve Smartsheet’s 3 Keys to Successful Construction Projects

According to Smartsheet, the top three strategies for successful construction managers are:

  • Creating a flow of communication
  • Making a habit of continuous planning
  • Observing and asking questions

Without a doubt, having an on-site portable office directly addresses each one of these issues. On-site managers in portable offices can offer immediate responses to workplace questions. Smartsheet knows that during construction projects, “even slight adjustments can affect the overall plan and timeline.” This means that continuous on-site planning creates reactive, dynamic projects that don’t get bogged down with unforeseen circumstances. On-site offices provide a comfortable place to negotiate these construction site obstacles.

Finally, observation and asking of questions can reduce errors and safeguard against miscommunications. With an onsite office, companies can be assured that they always have the right person close to the center of the action.

Conclusion? Nobody has a silver-bullet to solve every construction site obstacle. However, portable offices transform the environment and become a focal point for order and planning. More affordable than ever, readily available, and customizable, modular offices guarantee themselves a place on job sites for years to come.

The Aries Advantage Begins With Safety

2019-02-08T21:25:36+00:00

Modular medical clinic

With over 700 construction-related deaths this past year, it’s evident that safety is perhaps the most important factor on a construction site. As new technologies create more complexity in the construction industry, safety issues span beyond “the old days” of employee health and liability or insurance issues. Today, safety is a complicated affair.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, of the 700+ construction-related fatalities, over 250 resulted from falls. This is where modular building comes to the rescue with the proverbial safety net. Since the prefabricated building process takes place offsite inside a factory, building each section piece by piece, the risk of falls is remarkably reduced. Modular construction eliminates precarious logistics and dangerous weather conditions.

With every project, Aries Building Systems establishes designated project safety personnel and puts forth a “site specific” safety plan as standard practice. In addition, Aries builds both commercial modular buildings and prefabricated residential buildings to meet both traditional safety standards and local building code to ensure that our rigid safety standards cannot be compromised.
