If you’re in search of a versatile and budget-friendly workspace solution, modular offices are the answer you’ve been looking for. An excellent solution for businesses aiming to expand their workspace, they can be swiftly assembled and disassembled to offer various customization options, allowing you to tailor the space to meet your specific needs.

Need a Modular Office Solution That Fits Your Needs?

Furthermore, the possibilities with modular buildings are virtually limitless, whether you require temporary office trailers, custom commercial space, or an addition to your schools’ campus. Embrace this exciting trend in construction to unlock a world of opportunities and meet your space requirements with ease!

Understanding Modular Offices

Modular offices are built in a factory and then transported to the site for assembly. Typically, people assemble these buildings from steel or wood frames on-site. Modular office buildings are pieced together floor by floor, to create a complete building—offering a quick turnaround and making it the most efficient choice for your business’ needs.

Selecting Your Next Modular Office: A Step-by-Step Guide

When it comes to choosing a modular office, several crucial factors should guide your decision. Modular offices offer a cost-effective and efficient solution for expanding your business, but making the right choice is the key. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you navigate the selection process:

Size and Layout

The size and layout are the first things to consider. Choosing a size that will accommodate your employees and equipment comfortably is essential. Then think about the office layout, including the number of rooms and their arrangements. Customizing the modular office to match your specific requirements is the first goal to meeting your business needs effectively.

Customization Options

Modular offices offer a high degree of customization, so choosing a supplier that can meet your specific needs is essential. The best supplier of modular buildings will offer various customization options, including finishes, colors, and layouts.

Quality and Durability

Another factor to consider when choosing a modular office is the quality and durability of the materials being used. Aries is known for its high-quality materials and construction, so selecting a reputable supplier that uses quality materials is key.

Cost

While modular offices are generally more cost-effective than traditional construction, prices can vary based on size and customization options. Strike a balance between selecting a modular office that fits your budget and one that fulfills your business needs effectively.

Additionally, it’s wise to explore suppliers that offer attractive financial options to allow flexible payment terms should you require them. Collaborating with a modular office supplier that provides flexible financing solutions can significantly benefit your expansion plans. This ensures that you not only acquire the right modular office but also manage your budget effectively, ultimately supporting the growth and success of your business.

Maximizing Productivity: How to Choose the Best Modular Office Systems

To ensure you choose the most effective modular office systems, here are some crucial things to keep in mind:

First, choose a reputable manufacturer with experience in building modular offices.
Next, consider the size, layout, and features needed for your specific needs.
Then, ensure the office meets local building codes and regulations.
Also, consider the insulation, ventilation, and lighting options available.
Finally, choose modular office systems that are easy to install, dismantle, and relocate.

Are Portable Classrooms the Solution for Your Ever-Growing Student Population?

Cara2024-11-13T18:36:07+00:00February 7th, 2024|

Limited space in schools is indeed a pressing issue that needs to be addressed. With a continuous influx of students enrolling each year, classrooms are becoming crowded. This is compromising both the safety and quality of education. Enter portable classrooms — a solution that efficiently and effectively provides ample space for a large student population, without exceeding district budgets. This blog explores the advantages of portable classrooms and mobile education buildings. It also dissects why these structures are rapidly becoming the preferred option for schools worldwide.

What are portable classrooms and mobile education buildings?

Portable classrooms and mobile education buildings are designed to provide flexible and adaptable solutions for schools facing space limitations. These modular classrooms are prefabricated buildings that are swiftly delivered, installed, and dismantled. Mobile education buildings encompass a broader spectrum of building solutions beyond traditional classrooms. These include portable libraries, laboratories, administrative offices, restrooms, lunchrooms, and even campuses.

What are the benefits of using portable classrooms and mobile education buildings?

An infographic about the benefits of modular buildings. These benefits include that they're fast, simple, high quality, flexible, customizable design, and sustainable.

Portable and mobile educational buildings are becoming an increasingly popular solution for schools facing space constraints. They offer several benefits over traditional brick-and-mortar construction.

Flexible and highly customizable

Portable classrooms move easily from one location to another, providing high mobility and quick relocation. Furthermore, portable classrooms are tailored to align with specific school requirements. These demands range from temporary offices to storage spaces, or even additional classrooms. As a result, they represent an innovative, practical, and budget-friendly way for schools to enhance their facilities and foster optimal learning environments.

Environmentally Friendly

The appeal of these buildings extends beyond practicality. In fact, they embody environmental consciousness. Designed for reduced energy consumption and crafted from sustainable materials, they reflect a commitment to environmental sustainability.

Speed

For many schools, a growing student body is an issue that requires an immediate solution. Portable modular classrooms are constructed in up to half the time it takes to build a conventional structure. Depending on the immediacy of the problem, a modular classroom proves to be the best solution due to its quick turnaround time. Aries’ delivery times vary depending on the needs of the project. Therefore, we make sure to consult with our clients, and consider their time frames, to ensure on-time delivery. (Read the full blog here)

Cost-effective

Modular classrooms offer cost savings due to the reuse of excess materials from prior projects. This leads to reduced labor and material expenses.

What are some ways that modular buildings can transform the education industry?

In essence, modular buildings offer education systems a flexible, efficient, and dynamic way to address their ever-changing needs. These structures enhance learning experiences, accommodate growth, and stay aligned with the obligations of modern education and their specific needs.

Educational institutions utilize modular buildings for a variety of reasons:

Additional classrooms and lecture halls:

Modular classrooms effectively add more learning space to accommodate increasing student populations or changing curriculum/program needs.

Temporary classrooms:

Designers create modern, spacious, and energy-efficient modular classrooms as prefabricated structures. They are constructed offsite in a factory setting before being transported to their final location for quick assembly and permanent usage.

Laboratories:

Individuals and organizations create modular laboratories to fulfill their specific needs and utilize them for various purposes. Examples include science labs, computer labs, and research facilities.

Libraries:

Designers create modular libraries that meet specific requirements for reading rooms, study areas, and research facilities.

Administration offices:

Modular education buildings are used as administrative offices, designed to meet specific requirements. Specifically, they are utilized as reception areas, staff rooms, and meeting rooms for schools and universities.

Remote learning support:

In the era of blended and remote learning, modular education buildings serve as satellite learning centers equipped with technology and resources. This provides students with a physical space for study and collaboration.

Cara2024-11-13T18:36:45+00:00February 7th, 2024|

Why Multipack Classrooms?

They give teachers the ability to control the environment for the students & faculty.
They remove the amount of exterior egress and allow students/faculty to gain access to multiple classrooms, should the need arise.
Multipack classrooms have double wall security: while each classroom has locks on all doors, the building itself can be locked, making it possible for people to move from classroom to classroom without going outside and exposing themselves to harsh weather conditions or other dangers.
They have push-pull doors, so there’s only one entry.

Please see our website for a list of our other available portable classroom multipack floor plans.

Building a Winning Team – by Top Modular Building Expert Aries

Cara2025-03-05T19:58:42+00:00February 7th, 2024|

In the pursuit of building a winning team, understanding the essence of workplace culture is paramount. The office environment wields the power to shape employment experiences, either leading to long-term fulfillment or a swift return to the job market. As we draw inspiration from the top modular building expert, Aries, we will learn that expertise extends beyond just their products; it encompasses the exceptional workplace environment they provide for their employees.

So, let’s embark on this journey together and uncover the building blocks of a winning team and a thriving corporate culture.

Employees Are Invested in The Company’s Success

One of the most valuable assets a company can have is a team of employees who are genuinely invested in its success. When employees feel a strong sense of ownership and connection to the organization’s goals, they become more motivated and engaged in their work. They go above and beyond to contribute their best efforts, knowing that their individual contributions directly impact the company’s overall success.

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

Emphasis on team building, positive customer experience & a supportive leadership team that empowers their employees.”
-Lori Turner (New England Territory Sales Manager at Aries)

Read the rest of the interview here.

Employees Feel Like They Are a Part of The Decision-Making Process

Empowering employees to feel like they are a part of the decision-making process is a hallmark of a progressive and inclusive work environment. When employees can contribute their ideas, perspectives, and opinions on important matters, it fosters a sense of ownership and commitment to the organization’s goals. Moreover, employees who are involved in decision-making are more likely to take responsibility for the outcomes, whether positive or negative.

Employees Feel Like They Belong to A Community

In a great work environment, employees don’t just feel like they are part of a team; they feel like they belong to a supportive and cohesive community. As a result, it fosters teamwork, improves job satisfaction, reduces stress, resolves conflicts constructively, and creates a supportive community where employees can thrive and achieve their full potential.

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

From the short time I have been here I have felt a very “family” oriented company culture. That is to say, the amount of support and help I have received has been amazing and I am very grateful for that.”
-Rebecca Mayer (Territory Sales Manager at Aries)

Read the rest of the interview here.

“I must admit,” says Katie Roman, “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 at Aries)

Leaders Keep Employees in The Loop

Poor communication and hidden information can turn a workplace into a place of anxiety and doubt. Transparency creates an environment of trust and security for employees, which leads to increased job satisfaction and performance.

Employees Feel Like They Can Be Productive in Their Workspace

Employees thrive in a positive and supportive work environment that fosters productivity and skill development. A workplace where trust and respect are emphasized while discouraging gossip and office politics cultivates a conducive atmosphere for growth and employee satisfaction.

A blurred image of a group of people standing around a table. On the center of the image is the words, “A team is not a group of people who work together. A team is a group of people who trust each other.” – Simon Sinek”

The physical environment of the workplace is just as important as well since this can impact employee morale. A workplace environment that is optimized for creativity and productivity is also important to invest in.

Employees Feel Like They Are Constantly Developing Their Skills

Companies that prioritize employee growth and offer ample opportunities for learning and development create a strong culture of empowerment and advancement.

Amazon, for instance, exemplifies this approach through its Amazon Technical Academy, where nontechnical employees are prepared to transition into software engineering careers. By providing access to such training programs, employees gain confidence and acquire the skills to take on diverse roles.

Employees Are Aligned with The Company’s Mission and Values

Employee alignment with the company’s mission and values fuels their commitment and motivation, driving the organization towards success by fostering a shared sense of purpose and belief in its goals. Moreover, this alignment with the company’s mission and values develops loyalty among long-term employees, who feel a deep connection to the organization’s core principles and are more likely to stay committed to its growth and prosperity over the years.

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

“I believe we have the best product and people in the industry at Aries. Our product stands out for being top quality amongst others. But I believe our people are what makes the true difference. The majority of Aries employees have worked in the industry most of their careers, so the experience and knowledge that comes with that is unmatched. We can rely on our team to always find the best solution for our customers’ needs. We always want to exceed customer’s expectations and be easy and also efficient for our customers to do business with.

The Aries brand differentiates itself by striving to always operate with integrity.”
-Ashton House (Sales Representative at Aries)

Read the rest of the interview here.

Maintaining a positive organizational culture is a never-ending process. It requires time, effort, and commitment from managers, HR staff, and all employees. However, the benefits of a positive culture are worth the investment. Companies with positive cultures have lower turnover rates, reduced retention costs, boosted productivity, and increased team morale.

Aries Under the Microscope

Employees are the heart and soul of any company, and Aries understands this. They encourage employees to achieve great things by providing the necessary resources and support. They are more than just a top modular building expert; they are also experts in creating a positive organizational culture.

More Modular Building Uses You May Not Know Existed

Maria Oriendo2024-11-13T18:39:29+00:00May 10th, 2023|

The concept of modular construction is advantageous due to its adaptability, affordability, speed, efficiency, and sustainability. The development of modular buildings no longer implies that the structure must be unattractive or have a restricted range of functions. Modular designs can offer a smooth and natural extension of the adjacent facilities or attached to them, whether for a permanent or temporary application. Numerous market sectors, including schools, universities, airports, railroads, haulage companies, petrochemical plants, and the shipbuilding industry, to name a few, can benefit from the quick and sustainable housing solutions provided by modular buildings. Here are a few structures and designs that are examples of modular building uses that will convince you to choose Aries Building Systems for your next project!

CONCERT HALLS

The Isarphilharmonie is a portable structure with a steel outside and an interior constructed of prefabricated timber components. Up to 1,900 people can sit together in the stalls, first- and second-floor levels, and balconies. The nearly square concert hall is discreet and functional, with dark grey walls and seating contrasted solely by the stage’s light-colored oak floor. It creates an artistically satisfying relationship with the adjacent old brick structure. This implies that what takes place on stage is the only thing getting attention.

The modular venue was created by Von Gerkan, Marg, and Partners and features premium acoustics by Yasuhisa Toyota of the Paris Philharmonie and Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. It is a striking yet understated black wooden box with a pale timber stage that concentrates attention like a movie screen.

DAYCARES

Making a structure out of modular construction makes sense if you run a daycare. An entirely new permanent installation for your daycare can be built more quickly and affordably with the help of a modular building provider than with traditional construction. Alternatively, they can assist you in growing by adding extra space (temporary or permanent) swiftly. Infinite customization, floor plan, and design possibilities are also available with modular daycares to help you build the ideal environment for your requirements.

One of the six childcare facilities open on the Harvard campus is the Harvard Yard Child Care Center. For the current Harvard University customers, a green, modular childcare center was constructed that was both cost-effective and environmentally responsible. It can be transferred to a location with the least waste so future users can enjoy it. The building was a three-month design-build-install sprint that went up against an alternative concept for energy-hungry throw-away structures.

Although not very innovative in look, this structure demonstrates that green building techniques may be just as effective as less eco-friendly ones. Green becomes the only viable alternative for development and is no longer a “someday” project, which opens a lot of new opportunities for sustainable building.

AIRPORTS

Airport operators encounter numerous obstacles when trying to find solutions to fulfill present and future facility space needs. A crucial part of the planning process is knowing how to increase capacity to accommodate rising passenger demand while ensuring that all airport operations continue to run smoothly. Due to its ability to improve building efficiency while lowering costs and avoiding exposure to airport operations, modular construction is presently a more and more popular and cost-effective choice for airport development projects.

The flexibility required to continue the expansion of the Charles de Gaulle International Airport in Paris can be provided through modularity in a general structure that is continually expanding. Modules were used to construct the most recent terminal. The arching pieces, however, enable the curving aesthetics to be retained while still being accessible to future extensions, as opposed to the more conventional cubic ones.

PRISONS

For maximum security prisons, modular steel cells can be delivered much more quickly and at a much lower price than traditional steel cells. Prefabrication enables quicker on-site installation, lowering security concerns and related prison expenses and providing a more robust and high-quality solution at lower total life-cycle costs. With minor design modifications, cells can be put up to six stories high and sustain wind, seismic, and external wall, and roofing loads. Given that the prototype avoids re-design, it is a highly affordable and secure solution for both large and small venues.

Fleetwood Australia was commissioned to create a modular cell concept that perfectly matched the desired internal layout for maximum security single and double prison cells for NSW Corrections. They were hired to build 692 modular cells, or 920 beds, for the Prison Bed Capacity Program. The 15 cells each week created had the highest fire-rating concrete floors, beds, tables, shelves, toilets, showers, and convex mirrors each. To be connected on-site, all internal finishes and services were also finished and returned to the service risers. Once delivered, the NSW prisons at Junee, Cessnock, Mid North Coast, and Metropolitan Remand Reception Center were constructed using the modular cells.

HOSPITALS

Is it necessary to you to serve patients as soon as feasible in the safest and most aesthetically pleasant settings imaginable? When the COVID-19 pandemic started, the health industry wholeheartedly supported the use of temporary structures. Many hospitals have expanded their wards and isolation areas utilizing steel constructions, clear-span systems, and similar construction methods. When responding to calamities like floods, earthquakes, and more, you may have seen health facilities build improvised structures. These facilities provide swift, peaceful, secure, and spotless installations with an infinite selection of interior design, furniture, and equipment leasing options.

When the COVID-19 epidemic first broke out, China’s Fangcang Shelter Hospital became prominent due to its innovative architecture. This modular hospital’s large-scale, adaptable, economic, and practical attributes make it suitable for handling public health emergencies. In approximately 29 hours, Fangcang was built by turning public spaces into 4,000 beds for patients with mild to moderate conditions. With up to 13,000 beds and areas for quarantine, 16 modular hospitals had been built throughout Wuhan by 2020. Fangcang’s temporary character also prevented any long-term, inefficient use of space because the temporary structures could be readily taken down after the mission.

Into the Future: The Positive Impact of Modular Building

Cara2025-06-14T01:23:55+00:00March 22nd, 2023|

As the world continues to evolve and change, so, too, does the way we build and construct the spaces where we live and work. From the earliest days of mud huts to the buildings of today, humanity has always sought out new and innovative ways to create functional, durable, and attractive structures. One construction method, that has increasingly gained attention in recent years, is modular building. The positive impacts of this method on the construction industry cannot be understated. The impact of modular building has the potential to significantly shape the future of the industry.

What is Modular Construction?

Modular building involves creating a structure or building offsite, using standardized, pre-engineered modules. These modules are manufactured in a factory setting. Once done, these modules are then shipped to the construction site and assembled on-site to create a finished building.

Brief History of Modular Construction

Not many realize that modular construction has been around for more than two centuries. The impact of modular building was first witnessed in the early 1800s. Henry Manning created the first known advertisement for a prefabricated home. Sears started distributing their catalog of prefabricated buildings in 1908 and, by the 1930s, had sold over half a million modular homes.

Modular building gained popularity after World War II when the demand for housing and places of work exceeded the capabilities of traditional construction methods. It provided a fast and efficient solution to meet this demand.

Challenges of Traditional Construction

There are numerous challenges facing the construction industry today. For instance, traditional construction can be time-consuming, as it typically involves multiple stages such as design, planning, procurement, and execution. This can result in delays and missed deadlines. It can also be expensive due to the high cost of labor, materials, and equipment cost. The traditional construction can be inefficient and risky. It can also be slow since it is prone to cost overruns due to unexpected site conditions and changes in the scope of work.

Traditional construction often causes many negative impacts on the environment. These impacts can result from the heavy use of diesel construction equipment, and transportation of heavy materials and labor. The construction industry alone is responsible for almost 39 percent of the world’s carbon emissions.

Another key factor is the waste production — almost 56 million tons of unused materials, such as wood, steel, cement, etc., go to waste each year.

Benefits of Modular Building

Not only does modular construction address many of the challenges and issues that are common in traditional construction, but it also has additional advantages that make it an attractive option for many projects. Some of the key benefits of modular construction include the following:

· Faster construction and cost-effective

Modular buildings can be constructed more quickly than traditional ones, as the manufacturing process can occur concurrently with site preparation. Modular building can be more cost-effective than traditional construction, as the factory-controlled environment can result in fewer delays and cost overruns. In addition, the use of standardized components can lead to economies of scale and reduced material costs.

Since modular construction can be more efficient and faster than traditional construction, this can be particularly beneficial in urban areas where land is scarce and demand for new buildings is high.

Safety

The construction industry is infamous for being one of the most dangerous workplaces. Work-related fatalities due to falls, slips, and trips increased 5.6 percent in 2021, from 805 fatalities in 2020 to 850 in 2021. Falls, slips, and trips in construction and extraction occupations accounted for 370 of these fatalities in 2021, and an increase of 7.2 percent from 2020 when there were 345 fatalities (National Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries in 2021). Modular construction presents a solution since the manufacturing process takes place in a controlled factory environment rather than on a construction site, little to no workplace accidents are anticipated.

High-quality standards

Modular buildings are built to the same standards as traditional ones and can be as durable and long-lasting. In fact, modular construction can result in a higher level of quality, as the controlled factory environment allows for more precise construction and less exposure to the elements.

Sustainability

There is no doubt the impact of modular construction is prevalent in terms of sustainability. One of these benefits is reduced carbon emissions by eliminating most transportation needs since everything takes place in a factory. Modular construction uses excess material to make frames, roofs, and siding. This building’s nature permits the repurposing and recycling of excess materials.

Integrating solar panels into modular buildings will reduce carbon emissions over the lifetime of the building. On average, a simple solar setup can prevent the emission of 2.5 tons of carbon dioxide per year. This helps to make modular buildings more environmentally friendly and sustainable.

How modular construction is going to fit into the future

There has long been a need for a shift in the construction industry. As the world continues to evolve, the construction industry needs to do so to keep up with the changing needs of society. Modular construction has the potential to move the industry away from its traditional, labor-intensive methods and towards a more modern, factory-based approach similar to those used in other manufacturing industries. Some people may resist this change and prefer the traditional building, but others may welcome the improvements that modular construction can bring.

The business case for modular building should be as easy as it was for the automotive industry as Tom Hardiman, Executive Director of the Modular Building Institute, stated in an interview for Forbes, “No one would question how we build cars today. It would be comical to have all the parts delivered to your driveway with a dozen workers to build it… Yet we build our homes, schools, and offices in this inefficient and wasteful manner every day.”

Aries Leads the Way

Aries is leading the way in promoting the impact of modular building to the masses. Their innovative products are of the highest quality, and their leadership team is second to none. Aries is positioning itself at the forefront of the modular building industry. They will remain a leader in this field for many years to come.
