New Year, New Beginnings: How Aries Leads in Modular Buildings

Maria Oriendo2024-11-13T19:05:05+00:00

How has modular building leader Aries stayed ahead of the curve? Before Aries became the ultimate provider of temporary buildings, it was nothing more than a dream between two brothers. Reliant Asset Management (RAM), established in 2010 by Michael and Barry Roman – brothers and business partners – is the result of forty years of tenacity, determination, and expertise in the modular construction sector. The Roman brothers first founded RAM to supply modular structures and workforce housing for various professional needs, based on the success of their prior modular construction financing business, Resun Leasing, Inc.

Ever since, they have increased the scope of the privately-owned business by purchasing several subsidiaries, such as Class Leasing Inc., which provides services to the California education sector. Aries has a wide range of commercial ventures in its outstanding portfolio. However, Aries has focus in two industries: worker housing and manufacturing modular buildings. RAM has been able to adapt and prosper even in turbulent economic times. This is thanks to its drive into newer sectors like leasing and education.

Here’s a rundown of Aries’ most recent milestones, from acquisitions to our pandemic response workarounds. All done by none other than the expert in the modular building industry — Aries!

Recent Acquisitions

Precision Structures

Over many decades, Precision Structures has amassed a solid, devoted customer base. Aries was delighted to have this leading figure in the modular business join the team. Consequently, our current clients can look forward to top-notch customer support and space options.

Offering modular building solutions to various industries, including but not limited to commercial, industrial, educational, medical, and municipal ones is a joint goal of Aries and Precision Structures. Both businesses offer ground-level offices (GLOs), storage containers, office trailers, portable classrooms, and specialty modular buildings.

As part of its expansion strategy, Aries is open to new modular suppliers eager to work with the leading company in the sector on recent transactions and alliances. Aries, buoyed by development and forward motion, looks to the future. With an attitude of expansion on every conceivable level, we continue to develop our company, reputation, and brand.

Jobsite Mobile Offices

Jobsite Mobile Offices is also a new addition to Aries’ expanding portfolio. Their business model complements Aries’ growth plan, and this acquisition comes from our ongoing growth. By developing the most cutting-edge modular solutions that are feasible, these new synergies will considerably improve our capacity to serve the community. Ultimately, theses endeavors will make us the modular building leader.

“This is a very special time for Aries and the modular building industry as a whole. We provide space solutions, and there is no end to the possibilities within our ever-growing industry,” said Mike Bollero, Jr., President of Aries.

Through acquisitions and internal growth, Aries continues to grow and expand due to the brand’s expansion inside the modular sector. We are thrilled to continue providing our current clients with excellent service while broadening its clientele in the Midwest region by acquiring Jobsite Mobile Offices. Aries seeks out new possibilities and the potential of enduring progress.

Cutting-Edge Modular Building Designs to Be Thankful For

Maria Oriendo2024-03-19T18:28:12+00:00

Let us explore the cutting edge modular building designs to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. Forget the myths and stigma of yesteryear’s modular construction! Designers are currently demonstrating how modular construction may be used to create distinctive and site-specific structures. This considers the specifics of terrain, weather, and program. It also allows chances for the light of nature, ventilation, and landscapes while resulting in a design expression individual to its location and surroundings.

But can modular building also assist the construction sector in achieving its urgent and wildly ambitious sustainability targets? Modular building proponents contend this is true, claiming that their method can provide more social and environmental sustainability advantages than traditional building methods.

Modular Design Benefits

Decreased material waste

Comparing modular construction to conventional construction might lower net waste in half. Errors and accidental damage are less likely due to the fabrication facility’s optimal settings. Lean manufacturing principles and other techniques for better inventory control can be applied more effectively using factory-based modular construction procedures.

Reduced energy consumption during building

Due to manufacturers’ superior ability to manage energy consumption and emissions compared to conventional building sites, construction energy use decreases during the fabrication phase of a modular project. In addition, we will see a decrease in energy used onsite for items like worker transportation and housing, as well as for power tools, plant, and site-wide lighting because modular projects require fewer onsite employees for a much shorter time.

Support for reusing, recycling, and adaption

Buildings can be more quickly and economically adopted, modified, or disassembled into components that can be reused or deconstructed for recycling because of modular construction’s “plug and play” adaptability. A building can become more flexible and adaptable, and hence more future proof, by incorporating modularity at the systems level.

Enhanced and safer working environments

Modular construction in an offsite facility is typically safer for workers than traditional onsite construction. Workers at modular fabrication facilities are subject to fewer risks than those on a typical construction site, where they generally work outdoors, around heavy equipment, and at heights.

Significant construction cost reductions, improved productivity, and advantages in quality control

Modular building’s accelerated construction process generates most of its budgetary advantages. In most modular projects, the time needed to construct and commission a modular structure is reduced by 25% to 30%. Therefore costs associated with financing are also decreased as a result.

With modular construction, most of the fabrication and assembly of building components takes place in a controlled environment optimized for manufacturing. Therefore, design, manufacturing, and also construction processes are more closely integrated, capturing impossible efficiencies with conventional methods, and facilitating more effective quality assurance.

Cutting Edge Modular Building Designs

We’re not stopping with the technical stuff! In fact, the following collection of contemporary constructions demonstrates the pros of offsite construction. Onward to the list of cutting edge modular building designs!

Milan Expo 2015: Czech Republic

Chybik+Kristof Architects & Urban Designers

The Czech Republic Pavilion at the 2015 World Expo’s award-winning design by Chybik + Kristof is now complete. The simplicity of the modular design during construction and transportation led to its selection. The structure, which measures about 35,000 square feet, designed around a swimming pool as a homage to the advanced water treatment methods used in the Czech Republic. The 2015 Milan Expo will not mark the end of the Czech Republic pavilion’s existence because it is more than just an exhibition space.

Koma modules, a modular construction technique, were used to erect the building. In fact, water was included in the design, which was a challenge, and the result was spectacular. There are stores and a restaurant on the ground floor; exhibitions are on the first and second floors; and, of course, a garden is on the top.

No Footprint House (NFH): Ojochal, Costa Rica

A-01 (A Company / A Foundation)

A-01’s gorgeously open and cross-ventilated Costa Rican No Footprint House is a model for a line of upcoming zero-carbon residences. The building uses a steel frame structure centered on a central service core and only uses environmentally friendly materials. An exterior timber panel of the building has an open and close feature to control views and exposure while it stands on the edge of a tropical jungle. Undeniably, the one-of-a-kind structure is entirely customizable and incredibly economical. This structure is easily constructed, disassembled, and also transported on the back of a single truck.

Hence, The 2019 A+Award for Architecture + Sustainability went to this impressive project.

121 W 3rd Street: Los Angeles, California

Relevant Group

The prefabricated, modular design for Los Angeles high-rise residential buildings, each with its expressive style, is a project that Gensler is working on alongside the Relevant Group.

One is located at 121 West. Gensler is transforming a surface parking lot on Third Street into a 15-story modular apartment tower with 331 residential apartments on top of two above-grade levels and one below-grade level of conventional construction. Thirty-seven of the apartments are for very low-income affordable housing by Relevant.

For more details, you can all the three residential high-rises in Gensler’s full article.

Home-Office Pods AAND Sayana: Bandung, Indonesia

Aaksen Responsible Aarchitecture

The creation of prefabricated modular home office AAND Sayana is in response to the global pandemic and its effects on workers. The construction of cross-laminated timber (CLT) building was in a factory and soon marketed as an earthquake-resistant construction. In addition, an on-grid solar panel system provides the building’s energy needs. Even the least skilled DIY craftsperson can readily construct the building by focusing on high-quality, local, also prefabricated materials.

Habitat 67: Montreal, Canada

Moshe Safdie

Moshe Safdie, FAIA, a young architect with a ground-breaking design for a fusion of the suburban single-family home and the urban apartment structure, was at the forefront of architecture in 1960. At McGill University in Montreal, he used the concept as the basis for his undergraduate thesis.

To create the apartments for the expo, Safdie constructed 365 modules in a factory and stacked them asymmetrically. The apartments ranged in size and kind from 600 square feet for one-bedroom apartments to 1,800 square feet for four-bedroom apartments. Every apartment in the building had a roof garden and a shared pedestrian street from which to enter.

Montreal and Canada revere Habitat 67 as a monument to architecture.

Modular construction may be experiencing something of a rebirth to save costs and time while improving building quality.

Off-site building is the potential choice for highly remote, dense, or complex sites and an exciting and expressive design alternative for various building projects. An increasing number of designers and developers are starting to recognize modular solutions. It is only a matter of time before cutting-edge modular building designs, inventions and also creations completely replace conventional approaches.

Finding, Hiring, and Retaining Top Talent in Modular Building

Maria Oriendo2024-11-13T18:12:21+00:00

Finding the right people and maintaining a lasting working relationship with your employees can be daunting at times. The unemployment rate in the country hit an all-time low, and companies are struggling to land and keep good employees. COVID-19 has changed everything in an instant, and greatly affected many people including the economy. It has forever changed workplace norms and how companies conduct their processes.

In addition to the obvious health concerns, uncertainty and job security also plagued businesses, job seekers, and the employment sector.

Three photos related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The photo on the left shows someone working from home in front of a laptop doing a video conference. The second photo in the upper right corner shows a magnified view of the Coronavirus strain. The third photo on the bottom right corner shows a sign asking people to maintain at least 6 feet social distancing.

While the economy recovers, experts foresee major changes in the acquisition of good employees, and keeping up may introduce a variety of challenges. With the right mindset and knowing what you want for your business in terms of getting the best people from the job market is a great start.

With that in mind, here are a few ideas that have helped Aries stand out from the rest of the modular building industry in terms of hiring and keeping our employees happy and engaged.

Let Candidates Start a Career with You in a Simple and Accessible Way

Job seekers today may no longer be interested in 10 pages of job postings. Sure, they need to learn more about your organization to see if they qualify or meet what you are looking for. But you can do this by simplifying the application process and removing complex stages in the recruitment process. This way, you will be able to gauge the candidates and not miss out on the pool of talent that comes your way!

Having the right competencies and abilities that correspond to the technical aspects of a role is crucial. You can add screening questions into your process to help understand what drives a potential employee and determine if the company’s values are in line with the candidates. At Aries, technology helped us improve our products, services, and our hiring process. Having a lot of applicants is great, but we make sure that we do not lose out on the right people. Aries conducts screening questions on our career page to help us and potential candidates see if they can be a great fit for the company.

Maintain a Company Culture That Lets Professionals Realize Their Potential for Growth and Career Advancement

A photo on the left shows a group of employees training in front of a laptop. The image also has a quotation by the philosopher Aristotle, “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act, but a habit,” written in white font with red background.

Having a clear vision in terms of career growth, compensation, and skills development allows employees to be the best they can be and see a lasting future with the company. Let’s face it — working for an organization you love is great, but having competitive pay and benefits is not bad. In addition to this, train people who have the potential and encourage their growth within your organization. Offer a type of mentorship program between the leaders and employees to bring out their best. Provide opportunities to limit stagnation in terms of their growth, that way your staff will know that you welcome their eagerness to succeed, and they’ll be more likely to stay longer with your company.

Make the Company a Place They Want to Belong

When an organization makes and gives value to its employees, word of mouth spreads like wildfire, and professionals seek the opportunity to be part of your company. It is not always the competitive pay that entices a person to work with an organization. Others prefer, and in some cases long for, a company that practices a healthy working environment where personal well-being, growth, and good relationships among employees are evident.

“Employees want to feel good about their organization and what it offers the world. They want to be able to say, ‘I like what this company stands for.’ If employees do not believe in their company or do not believe the company can successfully uphold its brand or reputation, they are likely to look for a different job.” – page 29 Gallup Report

“Aries feels like family. Even though this is an office and work, we all get along and treat each other like family. I’ve known some of these people for decades. Mike and I have worked together since the 80’s and Danny have worked for me since he was 19 years old. My wife even made his wedding cake! I should be retired by now, but I’m sticking around because I love this company.” — Skip Browder, Vice President of Estimating, Aries

Encourage your staff to build quality and lasting friendships among them. Having your friends as coworkers is a bonus on its own and will surely help promote teamwork and camaraderie in your organization.

Open Communication and Employee Wellness are Key

Maintaining open and honest communication between company leadership and employees is another way to enhance the working environment in your organization. Rolling out regular surveys to your staff lets them know they have a voice and that their feedback is valuable to the organization.

This also serves as their platform where they can dish out and express what they are feeling while working with you as well as a way for the company to gauge the well-being of every member of the organization. They can also voice any concerns they may have with their colleagues and the workplace itself. Discuss with them their suggestions and provide constructive feedback so they can assess whether you are on the same page in terms of growing the business.

In addition to this, always make sure to maintain a proper work-life balance for your employees. Give them time to enjoy the fruits of their hard work by initiating company activities. Gain an understanding of their lives outside their work hours and be flexible with thier personal time. They will more likely perform better if they see that their time, voice, and wellness are valued by your organization.

“When people go to work, they shouldn’t have to leave their hearts at home.” — Betty Bender

A Pat on the Back Goes a Long Way

Celebrate wins! Like you, your staff needs to feel that they are appreciated. A simple type of recognition from the leadership will let your employees know that their hard work is not overlooked. Enjoy the milestones that you have reached together, and they will surely look forward to your next success.

Sell Your Strengths and Achievements

Remember, you are enticing professionals to have the opportunity to work together and grow your business. Boasting your achievements and your organization in terms of their career and growth is not a bad thing. Let them know why your current employees enjoy working with you and provide clear examples of how your company stands out from the rest. You are not just posting a job; you are extending an invitation to unlock their potential to grow and a career that they will surely enjoy.

“I must admit, sometimes I wake up excited. Literally excited. I’m working a job that I enjoy with people I like spending time with, and a company that brings space solutions to the world. Our mission solves problems and brings people peace of mind. How can I not love my job?!” Katie Roman, Senior Vice President – Aries Building Systems, LLC

Expansion of Business and Team

Aries is experiencing significant growth. Adding additional service locations across the United States, enhanced service offerings, and acquiring Precision Structures. With this expansion, the company welcomes several new modular industry professionals to their team. In a press release about their recent acquisition, Senior VP Katie Roman says, “Our growth is more than a story of surpassing revenue goals and winning new customers. It’s a testament to our hard-working employees and our commitment to offering first-class services that outperform competitors. I’m deeply proud of the Aries’ team. We welcome Precision to join in on the collaborative, cheerful, and impactful company culture we have built together.

Reasons You Hate (or Love!) Your Job

Maria Oriendo2022-09-14T17:05:31+00:00

A photograph of a depressed worker with their head down on a desk, an open laptop is covering their head, and holding a flag-like sign that reads, “HELP!”

Joe goes to work every day and does his tasks religiously. He may have been doing this for the past couple of years now. But this does not mean that Joe is happy with what he is doing. Joe hates his job. Why? Let’s explore reasons you hate (or love!) your job and can relate to Joe.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics has reported that 4.5 million workers quit their jobs in March 2022. The overall quit rate grew to 3%, a level not seen since December 2021. The number of quits rose significantly in the professional and business services sector and in construction. But wait, there’s more.

The Pew Research Center has new survey findings on the top reasons Americans quit their jobs in 2021. Most workers who left a job expressed discontent with low pay (63%), feeling disrespected at work (57%), or not having good benefits such as health insurance and paid time off (43%). With the added strain of the pandemic, we somehow feel Joe’s sentiment — struggling to have the motivation to go to work and dreading the next day of anxieties to come. Before handing over that resignation letter, we have rounded up the primary reasons and tips that will help you deep-dive into why you hate your job.

A graphic of a professional wearing a suit facing an exit doorway with yellow light shining out.

Low pay? No way!

This dilemma will drive you nuts if you live from paycheck to paycheck. However, you cannot quit without savings to cover the days you need to pay your bills and other obligations.

Our tip: A heart-to-heart talk with your supervisor wouldn’t hurt. Emphasize your good performance and how much value you have added to the company throughout your stay with them. Great companies will consider your salary concerns.

Have you figured out if you hate or love your job yet? Let us continue.

I am just an employee number standing in front of my supervisor, asking them to hear me out!

Feeling voiceless at work can cause you to feel helpless and disconnected from your company. It can also lead to less motivation to accomplish your tasks.

Our tip: By working with your supervisor about the matter, provide concrete examples of times you exceeded expectations and did something great for the company that went unrecognized.

It is hard to change your company’s core values, but there are things you can switch on your end. Seek help to investigate if you can get transferred to a different team. If that is not possible, try to insert your influence your workplace culture incorporating some of your character traits and work preferences. Developing genuine connections with your coworkers can make work feel more meaningful and fun. It also gives you something to look forward to every day, even if you dread the actual work.

Do you hate or love your job? Let’s explore further.

Not-so-enticing benefits and paid time off!

The health insurance or leaves are not enough to cover the stress you are encountering with the low pay and existential dread in the workplace.

Our tip: Maybe it is time to check your health insurance if there are other perks you did not know you had in the first place. Some health insurance covers services like massage or acupuncture. It might offer complimentary gym memberships that you have always wanted to initiate. Make sure you find out what is on offer and prioritize using them to your advantage.

Your workplace is responsible for creating a setting and culture ideal for achieving satisfaction at work. But in the end, your happiness at work solely depends on you and you alone. It is essential to find a workplace that will invest in the well-being of its employees and create an ideal work environment in which employees can grow and be appreciated.

Here at Aries, we’re on a pursuit to show the world a better way to come up with workplace solutions. We are always scouting for champions. Life at Aries is fast-moving yet well-adjusted. From consistent teamwork to the sense that everyone has each other’s back, you will undoubtedly make a difference at Aries. The same spirit drives us to enhance how the world builds.

Hurricane & Disaster Relief: Immediate Delivery of Emergency Portable Buildings

Maria Oriendo2024-05-02T09:24:44+00:00

The last few years have brought many devastating natural disasters to communities across the country. Since 2016, every hurricane season has had above average activity bringing infamous hurricanes such as Harvey, Maria, and Irma in 2017 alone. Just last year, Louisiana was slammed by Hurricane Ida on the 16^th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina making landfall. Unfortunately, other natural disasters – such as tornadoes and wildfires – have also left their mark across the country, and communities have been forced to endure unspeakable destruction. It is difficult to imagine how to rebuild and go on. Here at Aries, we work to provide relief to those in some of the worst times of their lives through our emergency portable buildings.

Aries is amodular building provider and distributer

We are a modular building provider and distributer, and we provide quality service and portable buildings for every need all year round. However, Aries also provides affordable emergency portable buildings during difficult times of disaster. In the middle of an emergency, time and organization is essential for first responders. Our service can take care of everything involving your disaster relief building project including the necessary design, in-house manufacturing, and also contracting other services like food, cleaning services, and water storage. We make sure your portable building arrives quickly and smoothly to ensure you and your team can efficiently coordinate relief efforts from a safe headquarters.

Different populations will have unique needs in the aftermath of a natural disaster. One of the most vulnerable populations are patients in hospitals and those who require medical attention caused by the extraordinary circumstances. Aries has portable medical trailers that can serve as triage stations for rescuers. In addition, we work with local hospitals to provide larger modular buildings that can work as “hospitals on wheels.” Lastly, Our buildings, despite their size, can be moved quickly to keep both employees and patients safe in a disaster zone.

Our Priority is Always Safety

One of the biggest problems after a disaster is the displacement of a huge part of the population. Those who stayed to brave the storm have nowhere to go. And those who left have nowhere to come back to. Our priority is always safety, which is why we provide portable emergency housing. An area after a natural disaster is full of potential accidents and danger. Water is often unsafe to drink. The improper use of electric generators can kill, and there is often extreme heat or cold which causes more fatalities. All these can be avoided when people are provided a clean, warm bed under a stable roof. We can provide and contact every service necessary to make our portable buildings habitable and comfortable.

We have long strived for the title of the best modular building company. Aries has worked with big and small clients from a variety of sectors. Aries brings them creative solutions and also professional logistics planning. We believe some of our best services comes from providing relief to people in need during a very hard time. As we approach peak hurricane season, we hope there will be no need for our services, but we remain prepared to act at a moment’s notice.

The Aries Process: Full-Service American Modular Building Provider

The North American modular industry would not be the same without Aries, a leading American modular building provider that supplies the best prefabricated and portable buildings on the continent. For those looking for quality, Aries has become synonymous with excellent services and products. How have we continuously created a great customer experience for years? What sets us apart is the Aries Process. The Aries Process is comprised of 8 steps that will guarantee your needs are met at the highest standard possible.

Step 1: Financing Your Modular Building Project

The first step is financing your project. Since our modular buildings have many uses across industries, we provide a variety of finance options as well.

Short-term lease: Modular building financing is much more flexible because customers have the option of committing to a short-term lease. A relocatable building offers the freedom to lease only the amount of time a company needs. Moreover, a short-term lease has the benefit of low monthly payments ranging from 12 to 60 months.

Long-term lease: This option is designed to have lower payments and give peace of mind knowing that your rate will never change.

Operating lease with buyout: This lease is a long-term lease, but at the end of the term, you can fully purchase the modular building at the buyout price that you had already selected. The best part about this option is during the entire lease, Aries owns the building! This means any maintenance and upkeep is all on us.

Step 2: Concept and Design

You must only peruse the online modular inventory to see the extent of our designs for all kinds of needs. If none of those modular buildings are what you are looking for, Aries has gained a reputation for designing and building to meet any client specifications. We specialize in turnkey modular building services. Our services are not just limited to the exterior, as our dedicated team will work with you to create the desired interior space as well.

Step 3: Permit Acquisition

Aries has years of experience, and our long years in the field have made us experts with the handling of all site location details, such as site location permits within the United States and Canada. It is also important to remember a modular building is more than its exterior. Aries also manages the site installation and maintenance of utilities like water, gas, electricity, trash, and more for both temporary and permanent modular construction.

Step 4: Building Your Infrastructure

Infrastructure is everything that makes modular construction great. Aries applies all our knowledge into providing for your project. Almost everything is in-house, which creates fewer weather-related delays and on-site disturbances. Ultimately, our service saves the client both time and money.

Step 5: Installation

Creating the exact design you need comes before the installation of your project. Not only is Aries the best modular building company, but we can also give you peace of mind knowing we handle all your requirements from beginning to end. All the buildings are code-compliant and built with quality materials. A common misconception is that modular buildings are less durable, but our constructions are made to last under many tough environmental conditions.

Step 6: Finishing Touches

Aries is here to handle any needs you might have. This means adding special features at your request. We can include furniture, ramps, computer access systems, pedestrian bridges, security lighting, and more. As stated before, Aries can provide custom design for all modular buildings.

Step 7: Certificate of Occupancy

We want you to have the easiest process possible when setting up your new modular building. Aries can assist in acquiring the necessary documents from local governments to certify the building is up to code and complying with any law.

Finally, the most important step, is Step 8: Aries’ Warranty and Service.

All mobile buildings and permanent modular constructions have a warranty from us. Our warranty includes everything involved in the construction from the floor, to ramps, to the roof, to the utilities. Here at Aries, we provide only quality modular buildings and excellent service. Our protection plans are so extensive because we are confident in what we do.

Online Inventory: Modular Buildings Delivered Immediately

Maria Oriendo2022-06-16T01:59:47+00:00

Have you ever wondered how your old high school suddenly acquired new classrooms outside the main buildings almost overnight? Have you ever scratched your head trying to figure out where the cleanest bathrooms ever to grace a festival came from? These buildings almost feel mysterious, popping in and out of existence easily. Well, after today you will wonder no longer! Aries, the leading modular building provider, is the answer.

Aries, has been bringing unique portable and permanent modular construction solutions to a wide range of customers for over 20 years. When we say a wide range, we really do mean it. Let us dive into Aries’ vast online modular building inventory to learn about the wide scope of industries and end-applications using modular construction.

Education

Let us begin with those mysterious classrooms. It may have been odd to suddenly see a new building spring up, but in fact these are just portable classrooms. Aries offers many different custom floor plans tailored to the needs of each school district.

Just as you can customize the design, customers can also choose temporary or permanent uses for our prefabricated buildings. Your modular building is what you make of it. Community colleges, universities, public, and charter schools across the country use them, and the best part is that they are not limited to portable classrooms. Made to last, our clients have turned their modular buildings into cafeterias, preschools, and libraries. In short, portable schools are a safe and affordable option for all educators.

Healthcare

It may seem far-fetched, but your doctor’s office or local hospital may actually be a portable building. Sometimes a growing hospital needs expansions, but a construction site is not ideal in this environment. That is why relocatable medical facilities can be the solution.

In addition to planned modular building projects in the healthcare sector, Aries takes its role in saving lives seriously when assisting in disaster relief. During the pandemic, Aries worked quickly and tirelessly to create solutions in providing fast, portable emergency buildings.

With manufacturing capabilities, Aries allows construction to be performed off-site. Aries can complete your healthcare project in just half the time of traditional construction.

Customizable modules and an expert team of engineering professionals make it easy to select from a wide variety of healthcare facilities. Aries also makes it easy to design a facility from scratch that meets any and all of your specific requirements. Because every one of our modular buildings is under stringent codes and regulations, you will never have to worry about the quality and safety of your Aries’ modular facility.

Recreation

Here is where Aries’ fast delivery of portable buildings really comes into play. Big events or festivals really need to cater to the masses. Just as with the previously mentioned industries, Aries provides hundreds of floor plans in their used modular building inventory. Their modular buildings are fully customizable to accommodate the needs of any and every event, including prefabricated restrooms, locker rooms, and mobile cafeterias. Additional uses are office trailers, portable kitchens, and “swing space” for people to come together safely and efficiently.

Government

Aries is also capable of delivering professional-looking facilities for local, state, regional, and federal agencies. We recognize the urgency of governmental needs, and using modular buildings makes the time from construction to occupancy 50% faster.

Aries is proud to be a General Services Administration (GSA) approved vendor for modular buildings for more than 15 years. We are fully capable of meeting the stringent budget and time sensitive needs. Especially those of different branches of government agencies looking to expand using GSA-approved modular buildings.

Aries has an extensive track record of meeting the modular building needs of governmental agencies and educational institutions. From portable public classrooms to multi-story government buildings, Aries provides and installs structures of all sizes and for all applications. Aries also provides to customers across the United States and Canada. Aries has purchasing agreements in place with several cooperative purchasing organizations that enable their members to buy direct.

Workforce Housing, Crew Quarters, and Hotels

As a leading modular provider, Aries can tailor any project to fit your needs from headquarters to soldiers’ barracks. While Aries does deal in exceptional modular buildings for work crews, do not think that our portable buildings cannot provide great comfort as well. We understand that big operations require lots of manpower. That is why we offer crew housing with comfortable rooms, beds, kitchens, laundry facilities, and appliances. We commend companies who want to create a great “home away from home” for their traveling employees, and we are happy to be a part of it.

If you would like to delve deeper into our expertise on the topic of offering the best workforce housing accommodations in North America, see how Aries Residence Suites does it. Simply put, Aries isn’t just a modular building provider. We created an entire division devoted to hospitality and comfort for seasonal workers, energy workers, executive camps, and workforce housing for discerning companies who care about the comfort and productivity of their employees.

Commercial

This may feel like a “catch-all” category, but that is precisely the point! Our relocatable buildings are perfect for any need. Perhaps you are looking for a mobile office or construction trailer for a traditional job site. Aries provides both small and large floor plans for these exact needs. Our buildings are also great for entrepreneurs wanting to start their own small businesses. In fact, our mobile trailers act as great storage containers for any industry, commercial or not. Of course, Aries also features portable storage containers with floor plans viewable on our website available for immediate delivery.

These are just a few of the examples listed on the Aries online modular building inventory. As you can see, it is not an exaggeration to say your creativity is the limit when it comes to modular construction. Moreover, it saves time, money, and energy, while allowing clients flexibility in plans.
