Modular Buildings: A Timeless Solution Since Before the Pilgrims

marshall2024-11-13T18:36:52+00:00

“So you know the trailer classrooms at my school?” said my niece. “Yes,” I responded. “I realized today the Native Americans were making those modular buildings long before that Aries company you work with!” Hmm. The holidays often bring about introspection, especially for children. But my niece had a point worth pondering, so I did. And now I’m passing these wispy thoughts and information on to you, so as you walk forward in the world of construction trailers, mobile offices, and other prefab dwellings, you can think back to the original portable buildings of America’s Great Plains.

For thousands of years, Native Americans sought housing suitable for their lifestyle and climate. For nomadic tribes that followed the buffalo, it was imperative that their entire village was able to pick up very quickly and move along to another location (sounds a bit like workforce housing, no?). These relocatable quarters, or teepees, were built using many long wooden poles for the frame, then tied together snug at the top and spread out wide at the ground, making an upside-down cone shape. After this frame was tested for sturdiness, a giant covering made from buffalo hides was placed over the structure. This process took around 30 minutes, making it an extremely efficient way to live.

As tribes migrated, each family in the village would carry along their own poles and hides, erecting teepees around 12-feet tall. After horses came into the picture, they started building them twice as tall. In the summer time, the buffalo hide could be raised, allowing the cool plains air to flow through the gap at the bottom. And in the winter, the teepee could be quickly insulated by adding additional coverings over the structure and building a fire inside, allowing the smoke to flow out the hole on top of the teepee.

When it gets down to it, not much has changed when it comes to what we look for in a portable building.

Time savings

Since the construction of modular buildings can take place simultaneously with the site & foundation work, projects can be completed in almost half the time as traditional construction, not to mention the elimination of weather delays.

Safety

Prefabricated buildings are built to meet or exceed the same building codes and standards as site-built structures, and the indoor construction environment reduces the risks of accidents for workers.

Quality

Modular buildings are assembled with the same materials, building codes, and architectural specifications as traditional construction, using BIM technology to assess energy performance and identify the most-cost effective measures in advance.

Environmentally conscious

Modular construction takes place within a controlled facility, minimizing site disturbance, besides reducing waste and continued need for raw materials – as the same modular unit can be used time and time again.

Adaptability

A portable classroom can have another life as a mobile office. A mobile container can be customized into a construction trailer. Modular units can also be designed to fit in with external aesthetics of any existing structures, making them virtually indistinguishable from any other architecture.

When it’s all said and done, the most important part of the equation is the families which make up the village. Although the days of the North American nomadic tribes are passed, the responsibility to “create your own space” still remains in the hands of the families within our communities. The Native Americans worked together as a unit in order to make sure their community was safe, fed, and had the opportunity to grow in the face of change. Here at Aries, we still value that keeping people cool, warm, safe, and comfortable is still the goal. And as a family-owned business, we believe in helping our communities grow in every way we can.

And if you’re interested in our workforce housing side of things, we definitely go well beyond there, too – just visit Aries Residence Suites.

How Will My Used Modular Building Be Delivered?

marshall2018-12-18T17:44:57+00:00

It all comes down to process. For modular buildings they are able to become a more practical, environmentally friendly, and efficient alternative to traditional construction because they consider how to increase productivity every step of the way and provide a fully constructed building upon delivery. The question is, how in the world does Aries Building Systems achieve such a delivery?

The Prep

Before delivery even begins, there is a substantial amount of prep work done in order to ensure that not only the delivery, but installation upon arrival is possible. When selecting the location where the modular building will be placed our clients and us consider grade, soil, proximity to water and sewer lines, existing structure, etc. in order to ensure that the building can be safely delivered and installed. Once the location is approved, a site crew can begin to prepare the site for the delivery. This preparation can include foundation work, utilities, walkways and many other critical components to a successful delivery.

The Delivery

Modular buildings are built to withstand the rigors of transportation and craning onto foundations but that doesn’t make the process any less impressive. The buildings are built with what are called pick points where the panel or module can be lifted by crane onto trucks designed specifically to tow them. The crane may vary depending on the building but the most common is a hydraulic crane; crawler cranes or tower cranes are also used in certain circumstances. Once loaded onto the truck the building makes its very slow journey to the site.

During transport, these trucks typically are accompanied by escorts because of the vast size of the units (often taking up more than one lane) and because they often drive below the speed limit to ensure the building does not become damaged. This entire process not only requires the coordination between Aries and our clients but also state governments. Each state has differing permits, codes, lead cars, and fees required for such a delivery which means the delivery for a used building may change slightly on a case by case basis. Once arrival at the site, another crane is used to lift the building off the truck and onto the foundation. At this point external connections such as water, alarm systems and data lines can be made to the building.

The Advantage

So in this complicated waltz, what makes it worthwhile? Simply, time and money. While this individual step may seem more complex than the delivery of materials to a traditional construction site, the time saved by building off-site and delivering the completed building can cut a projects time in half. Aries Building Systems’s process creates an efficiency designed to save you money in the long run and have a building delivered, ready for use after just a few easy steps.

What You Need to Look for in a Modular Building Manufacturer

marshall2018-12-18T17:54:16+00:00

Modular buildings are taking the world by storm, gaining new interest daily. If you are among the many that have decided a modular building would be your best option, there are a few things to consider when choosing a modular building manufacturer. As with any service, some companies shine far brighter than others. Here are a few key things to consider.

Building Quality and Versatility

Almost every company’s website includes an “inventory” tab. Browse this tab to get a feel for the company’s building style and availability. A lot of variety in size, dimensions, and style is a good sign of the company’s creativity and versatility.

The inventory usually consists of buildings that are currently available, but most companies will work with you to develop your own design, and custom build for you.

Value-Added Services/Features

In addition to versatility and originality in design, your chosen modular building manufacturer should offer services that help your building “keep up with the times.” For example, some companies offer video systems for uses such as security and conferences.

Variety in Industries Served

While browsing company websites, check out what types of industries the company typically works with. Your manufacturer may have experience producing buildings to be used for education, government, healthcare, disaster relief, etc. Also check whether the manufacturer has experience with any “specialty buildings.” For example, blast-resistant modular buildings are specifically manufactured to resist explosive damage and increase personnel safety.

Alternative Construction Method

By going the modular route, you are almost guaranteed to save time, relative to traditional construction. You can save even more time by choosing a modular building manufacturer that offers alternative construction methods. With this method, land is prepared while manufacturing is in progress. This way, the foundation for the building is fully ready for installation once the building is ready for delivery.

Cost Savings

Again, by going the modular route, you are almost guaranteed to save $$! Save even more by choosing a modular building manufacturer that offers financing options. Explore the manufacturer’s financing options, and don’t settle for less. The company may offer financing for both renting and purchasing.

You can also save money by choosing a manufacturer that specializes in “turnkey” projects. Turnkey projects typically involve all aspects of production occurring under one roof. That is, one company handles the design, manufacture, engineering, transportation and installation, saving significant time and money.

Maintenance

If your chosen modular building manufacturer has a site location permit, this means the manufacturer is legally permitted to manage the maintenance of your building, including check-ups and repairs, as needed. This can be very convenient for you, as you won’t need to hire an outside source, and your manufacturer will already be familiar with your building’s needs.

Consider these factors when shopping for a modular building manufacturer to get the best bang for your buck. Aries Building Systems offers the turnkey advantage with exceptional customer service and cost savings. Contact us today at: 780-910-1548 or [email protected]

Behold The Prefab Wonderland in Aries’ Used Relocatable Building Inventory

marshall2024-11-13T18:06:53+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.

Aries to Attend Permian Basin International Oil Show

marshall2018-12-18T17:59:03+00:00

The Permian Basin International Oil Show is a convention showcasing products and services pertaining to the oil and gas industry. This three-day event will be held from October 16^th to October 18^th 2018 in Odessa, Texas with hundreds of vendors featured including Aries Building Systems LLC. The oil and gas industry is one of the most prominent industries around the world and is a staple in the world economy, making this convention a hub for big business opportunities and networking.

The Permian Basin has been a hub for oil and gas production since the 1920’s and continues to remain a steady region. Aries Building Systems is all too aware of this because of the workforce housing we provide to oil field workers through Aries Residence Suites. We will be in attendance at the convention in order to establish new contracts, share our ideas and experiences in the industry, and develop our relationships in the oil and gas industry.

History of the Permian Basin Oil Show

Starting off with a mere 35 exhibits in 1940, this now world-wide event has transformed from a ‘little international oil show’ in the boomtown of Odessa to a booming event all of its own. The convention lasted two years then had to hold off during World War II, reconvening in 1950. The project was revived by oilmen from the Permian Basin and they formed the non-profit organization – The Permian Basin Oil Show, Inc. They initially presented in October of 1952 and have held the event every two years since.

In 1994 the show was renamed to The Permian Basin International Oil Show, Inc. to aptly represent the large number of international companies in attendance.

This year’s show

With over 700 oil- and gas-related companies, this year’s Permian Basin International Oil Show, Inc. will have over 1,167 spaces. The event is held in the Ector County Coliseum and will have a variety of attendees including geologists, field operators, businesses owners, and everything in-between.

The event is an opportunity to educate industry professionals on the latest trends and technologies in the industry and bring professionals together; all while honoring the history of the oil and gas industry and its leaders.

If you will be in attendance, please visit our booth to see what Aries Building Systems has to offer and learn how we specialize in supplying full turnkey man camps, remote workforce housing, and commercial modular buildings systems to a wide range of industries and applications across the US and Canada.

Our booth will actually be a full crew quarters unit for those that want to see first hand what Aries can provide. Stop by to see the layout and top-notch accommodations!

In the meantime, if you believe that Aries could be of service to your organization and provide you modular building solutions, please visit us ariesbuildings.comor give us a call at (888) 702-0134.

VisionARIES – Q&A with Jim Benedict (Spotlight)

marshall2024-10-16T14:15:54+00:00

Your formal title at Aries:

Vice President of Sales- RAM Modular Canada

Your job duties & responsibilities:

Business development, sales, operations.

How long have you been at Aries?

4 years.

Where did you work prior to Aries; was it in the same industry or something totally different?

I was introduced to the remote camp/ modular accommodation sector during my 10 years in Sales at SYSCO Foodservice. Building an extensive network and relationships in foodservice selling to camp caterers led me to a career in Modular, and ultimately with RAM Modular Canada.

When you’re not at work, what would we find you doing?

My wife (Brandee) and I spend most of our time volunteering for my daughter (Makenna) at her local gymnastic club or as “roadies” for my oldest daughter (Hailey) as she pursues her career as a country singer/songwriter. Otherwise I try to stay active playing flag football, golf or hockey when I get the chance.

Hometown?

St. Albert, Alberta

Family, children?

Married to Brandee for 17 years, 2 daughters, Makenna 14 and Hailey 16.

What would “your perfect day” consist of?

A long term lease award to start the day, followed by a round of golf and spending time with my family.

What’s your favorite part about working for Aries so far?

I appreciate the communication and expertise of the employees and senior management. As the lone Canadian employee I am continually included and supported by everyone in the organization. I also value the confidence and shared vision our senior team has in the Canadian market as we strive to increase our market share.

What sets Aries apart from other companies that deliver the exact same things?

Primarily what sets Aries apart from our competitors is how everyone in the organization performs day to day tasks with purpose, integrity and honesty. Our clients appreciate dealing with a company that is interested in sharing in their success and growing together.

What do you hope to bring to Aries in terms of leadership and company culture?

Canada has been a challenging market over the last 4 years. I hope that our existing clients continue to see the quality and commitment to our brand and to their success and that potential clients understand that they have a competitive, viable option from a company that will work relentlessly on their behalf.

If you weren’t working for Aries, what job would you probably have?

Haha, I don’t think an 18 handicap would put me on the PGA tour so I’m probably exactly where I should be!

What do you think the future holds for Aries?

I believe that the modular business in North America is poised to grow as costs to build permanent structures increase and skilled labour becomes tougher to keep. Institutional, construction and the resource sector are all growing and relying on relocatable structures more and more as a means to save on large capital expenditures and meet tough time constraints. Our business model allows Aries to take on these burdens for the client so they can focus on their core competencies.
