Construction Offices – The Many Benefits

Nathalia and Jorge2025-02-07T23:30:09+00:00

Portable offices, a constant keystone in the building of the West

The year is 331 BC, the Persian Empire’s hegemony of the Arabian peninsula and Central Asia is about to come to an end. Alexander the Great contemplates the next day’s battle strategy inside the confines of his portable military tent that has been transported all the way from Egypt for this very occasion. The battle of Gaugamela will decide the destiny of the Greek and Persian empires.

Flash forward to Yorktown, Texas, summer 2018. During August, the average temperature hovers around 95° Fahrenheit. James Rath is a project manager tasked with constructing the brand new building complex that will become Yorktown High School.

The comparison between the great battle of Gaugamela and the building of a modern high school seems drastic… but they actually have a lot in common. The comparison can resonate with modern construction companies. They have erected sky-scrapers, schools, businesses, and homes in extreme weather conditions and under stringent deadlines in an industry with one of the highest injury and fatality rates. And like Alexander, James Rath’s building of Yorktown High faces daunting challenges.

A plague of inefficiency clogs many construction sites manifesting as a “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). In addition, 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).

These challenges lead most construction companies to seek portable offices while coordinating their builds. Installing an on-site office and perching it with a birds-eye view of the construction site can go a long way.

In the case of Yorktown High School, they contacted Aries and quickly had a 12×48 construction office installed on-site.

Today, as in Alexander’s time, on-site offices set the foundation for successful execution of projects.

On-site & modular offices as construction offices

Construction companies represent a dominant segment in the use of mobile offices. Construction sites, by nature, are temporary, yet often require a large on-site work space for engineers, contractors, clients, workers, surveyors, and overseers.

Modern portable office providers transform their offices to meet client needs. The builder of Yorktown High School needed assurance of climate control during the simmering Texas summer. Other construction companies lean towards compartmentalized space or noise control, depending on their particular needs.

Deadlines and on-demand portable construction offices

All construction companies have one thing in common: deadlines.

When they call for a portable construction office, they need things to be on time, with follow-through, and availability.

“We try to take away all surprises,” says Richard Stephens, a veteran in the portable office industry. The block-levels can be in place and a construction office can be tied down in as little as 24 hours. Extra time might be needed because we need a clear and level site, some places are tough to get to. If you are downtown, you might need a special permit,” says Richard.

In addition, customization might add 2-4 weeks for delivery time. It can also depend on how quickly the client accesses an electrician and plumber to outfit their new office.

Overall, though, a 12’ x 48’ or 12’ x 60 ́ mobile office can be properly processed, scheduled, and put in place in an average of 4-6 business days. That’s quite attractive to companies who need their construction offices in time to meet stringent deadlines.

Leasing for portable, on-site construction offices

Construction companies typically use portable offices at the site while they build a permanent building.

“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.

In this way, workers building the SOCO apartment complex in Austin, Texas benefited from a mobile office while building apartment complexes.

However, for this model of business to be convenient, the financial element must synchronize with the physical element. Construction companies may use temporary offices from just a few months to several years, and companies want flexibility with their payments that will match the flexibility of their modular offices. For this reason, the modular office industry increasingly offers leasing contracts. This allows construction companies to align their physical and budgetary timeline for their projects.

Portable buildings as a solution to inefficiency

On-site offices can provide a space for organizing, planning, meeting, and delegating. Although the causes for construction industry inefficiency are varied, portable offices offer a launching point for solving these issues. With affordable and dependable service, modular office providers hope to provide the builders of the West a space to plan their battles.

Modular Buildings: From Temporary to Permanent with Ease

catheryn2024-11-13T19:21:38+00:00

A modular, temporary building success story

The students had left for the day and the evening sun wasted its waning intensity on the mostly emptied teacher workroom. The principal took off his tie and threw it haphazardly across one of the rectangular work desks. His eyes became intensely focused. “Why can’t we get classrooms delivered?” he asked himself.

Like in many other countries, his student base had grown exponentially. His classrooms now held 35 students each and if he added even one more student to the classrooms he’d have a teacher riot on his hands. Although he had money for more teachers, there was no place to put them. The district had plans for a new 3,000 student capacity school, but ground wouldn’t be broken on the new project until next year. For now, his school would have to find a way to deal with the space constraints.

In entered Aries. In short time, there would be a small army of 414 portable classrooms rotating around Montgomery County’s school district. One school was able to operate with 500 more students than the infrastructure’s capacity. Summit Hall School added 240 students over its infrastructure capacity. Eventually, these students moved to permanent facilities, but until then, the district continued to outfit schools with pre-manufactured classrooms.

By ordering prefabricated buildings, the students’ education wasn’t interrupted by constant construction noise as the building went up in half the time of a regular on-site structure. Besides the fact that temporary buildings could be built fast, it was assured that the school could meet capacity demands by the new school year.

The parents’ concerns over safety were quickly dispelled by the quality and longevity of the materials – in some cases the material of the temporary building proved stronger than that of the permanent buildings.

The district had solved their problem. Classrooms could be custom built and, best of all, shipped on demand to the location of the need. For the first time, the school had truly versatile, temporary classrooms constructed with high-quality building materials .

The future of modular, temporary buildings: schools, hospitals, government and business offices

As the Montgomery School case study shows, modular buildings offer solutions for cost, time to occupancy, and site disruption. It’s an essential tool in the toolbox of any large enterprise intent on rapid growth or for increasing the capacity for flexible, instantaneous reactions to any circumstance.

Every company has bottlenecks, but for the first time, infrastructure doesn’t have to be the intimidating obstacle that defies creativity in the search for institutional capacity. You can now increase capacity with temporary to permanent offices.

Modular, temporary building has attracted interest from many sectors including those looking at how to handle the immigration crisis, companies conducting R&D in remote locations, entrepreneurial start-ups, hospitals, the military, government services (GSA approved), and corporations moving their offices to new towns. The adaptability of modular buildings to meet sound, temperature, lighting, and sanitation requirements creates a huge demand for these specialized buildings.

Among some of the uses of modular buildings are:

Hospitals use specialized modular building that meet stringent health requirements to continue patient treatment as hospitals get technological and infrastructure makeovers.
Governments, the largest service provider in the country, use temporary to permanent buildings for handling unexpected movements in staff or service population (e.g. disaster relief, management of growing populations, movement of military installations).
Start-ups benefit with temporary building though the low-investment that generates saving on rent and provides a foundation for continued growth.
Corporations can move essential components of a business to a new town and begin to solidify their presence before the final and complete establishment of their business.

If you can dream it, Aries can build it! An investment in temporary building leads to expanding a company’s potential as it becomes unfettered from time- consuming infrastructure constraints. Suddenly, building space becomes reactive and sensitive to company needs making modular building the new “ace” up institutions’ sleeves.

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.

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]
