Choose a Modular Building Company with Experience and Consistency

Say hello to the world’s tallest modular building: a 32 story multi-family tower constructed out of pre-fab modular units. The unit was designed to be ‘half market-rate’ apartments for low to moderate-income tenants in Brooklyn.

What was supposed to be a project that require less time, fewer workers, a faster ROI for developers, and a lower finishing cost turned out to be quite the opposite. Why? Between litigation and the delay of transferring the manufacturing to different companies, the finished project didn’t just hit a few speed bumps…it had to be towed out of the ditch.

The benefits of modular construction, especially one of this scale, is 90% of the construction was completed off-site at the nearby Brooklyn Navy Yard, cost 20% less than a traditional skyscraper, and took 4 years to complete.

The world’s tallest modular building struck ground in 2012 and had a completion date in 2014. The developer and the designing architects were able to plan a timeline that shaved off 30 months and saved 20% on construction. The developer was prepared to make the apartment modules which would then be stacked like legos, on-site.

When the modular pieces didn’t fit together correctly and there was severe damage to the units, there were accusations between developer and the construction company as to whose fault it was that the modules didn’t fit together and there were leaks and water damage.

There was enough damage to delay the project for two extra years and raise costs beyond the expected: and lawsuits are still ongoing.

While some criticize the developer for pushing modular technology toward the unconventional, the end result is a beautiful multi-family development.

Where perhaps, could the process have been more ‘dependable’? There is a lot of praise for the developer, for even challenging the idea of ordinary and attempting extraordinary. However, the choice of using a less than stellar modular contractor and manufacturer might have been the biggest difference.

Established modular manufacturers, like Aries Building Systems (currently working on various New York projects), have had years to build up consistent delivery of modular excellence around the world. They have design expertise, technical innovation and financial support that ensures seamless implementation. They offer a single source contract for all services necessary: water hook ups, electricity, septic solutions, level and grading of land…and more.

With the Aries Turnkey Advantage Schedule, there is a 30% to 50% time savings because they house the design, building engineering, in house manufacturing, transportation, construction services, civil work, and land development all under one roof.

The downward spiral for the Brooklyn project was a lack of experience in modular manufacturing and the failure to anticipate the modular building pain points in a large-scale design.

With Aries, you can be assured that the company is experienced and well aware of modular technology and the execution it requires to make sure the project is runs flawlessly.

Aries in Action: Making Modular Mainstream

marshall2019-02-08T21:27:56+00:00

As urbanization creeps up, so does the desire and need for modular. Aries Building Systems, a commercial designer, manufacturer, and financing partner in the modular construction industry, has taken on New York as growth and demand create a need for immediate construction results.

Amtrak’s Sunnyside Yard on Long Island couldn’t afford the time and process of traditional construction, so they contracted Aries Build Systems to update and modernize their buildings. Locker rooms and office space on site that are used by Amtrak management and maintenance are being built and upgraded.

Aries Building Systems has shown the world that modular construction can be anything you need it to be…as simple or complex as traditional construction, but faster, greener, and most of the time cheaper.

As cities like New York get bigger and land gets more expensive and scarce, modular building is becoming more mainstream with the help of ABS.

Modular Classrooms Are a Popular Choice for High Growth Areas

marshall2019-02-08T21:31:29+00:00

As schools and educational districts experience district growth, sometimes funding just can’t keep up with the demand for space. Aries Building Systems offers solutions for administrators that are easy, fast, and budget friendly. Buildings can be placed without delay, especially if you choose from existing modular inventory.

Students, teachers, and administrators can continue on schedule seamlessly and without disruption; which is in the best interest of everyone!

Modular buildings also give school districts the option of creating smaller classroom sizes to better fit the needs of students. Instead of spending the budget on breaking ground and wasting time pulling permits, school districts can now focus on spending money on education first.

Because modular buildings are built indoors, they can be placed ‘almost’ any time of the year with no worry about weather delay, local ordinance issues, and adhere to the same building codes (and sometimes surpasses!) of on-site construction. Modular buildings are practical, environmentally friendly, and extremely efficient.

Please call (855) 657-7773 or email us at [email protected] to inquire about how Aries Building Systems can help!

Modular Buildings Are the Key to Your Next Project

marshall2024-05-02T09:13:18+00:00

Project managers are oftentimes hesitant to consider using modular building companies like Aries Building Systems to fulfill their construction needs. There is a couple of possible reasons why- perhaps their perspective of modular construction is unfounded in the modern day. Some may have a mental image of shoddy, quickly built portables when they think “modular building”, but those days are long gone. Today, modular inventory has reached an incredibly high standard of quality, both in energy efficiency and aesthetics, and can be used for any kind of application- consumer, residential or otherwise.

Traditional construction comes with many costs and risks that could make you bleed money. Aries Buildings Systems avoids these costs by fabricating their buildings in state-of-the-art factories. One could save thousands by choosing modular construction and preventing on-site construction hazards, such as weather, worker oversight, and loss during transportation. If you’re looking to get your project done below budget and ahead of schedule, modular buildings are the way to go.

Check out Aries Building Systems inventory of new and used modular buildings HERE. Our prefabricated buildings can be used for government projects, office buildings, education, medical… the possibilities are endless.
