The well, the watering-hole, the water cooler. The Roman baths, the marketplace, the town square. The boardroom, the oval office, the town-hall. Churches, bars, restaurants, and stadiums. The world moves to the rhythm of shared physical spaces and the conversations they contain.
Construction companies that tap into this rhythm can improve their bottom line. By converting their work environments to be worker-friendly with portable offices, companies produce tenfold benefits in exchange for the investment. Some of these benefits include positive atmospheres, clear communication, safety, worker morale, and efficiency.
The most fundamental building block for creating a good physical meeting space is of course, the space itself. Thankfully, climate-controlled, ample, customizable buildings with modern amenities are accessible to everyone thanks to modular technology. Through assembly line, factory-controlled production, modular buildings defy traditional limits and allow customers access to high quality buildings at an affordable price.
Best of all, the relocatable buildings can be leased, and can be delivered quick, in as little as 24 hours.
In the past, we have written about worker safety and morale. The construction industry has risks and demands that call for on-site offices. Alert workers are more likely to stay ahead of the risks, whether it is inclement weather, long hours, or long hours operating heavy machinery. In addition, it helps reduce the workplace stress associated with these risks.
On the other hand, construction offices help solve inefficiency issues that slow down the project workflow. Studies show that up to 60% of construction worker time is wasted (CCMI), in large part due to failures in communication and coordination. On-site offices on construction sites provide workers a place to take much needed breaks, engineers a place to plan, and clients a place to meet.
The best indicator of the success of construction offices is our happy clients. Recently, our representatives were able to work with two return partners, Skybeck Builder (pictured below) and Weis. Having already enjoyed the benefits of modular construction offices, they were very happy with their new buildings, delivered right on time.
“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, a veteran of the industry.
Physical spaces that bring us together to shake hands and make eye contact become more than the sum of their parts. Think of the way a Bostonian may speak of Fenway Park or the cultural significance of town squares and parade grounds. These spaces, and all the data on the construction industry, point to the necessity of social spaces in our workspaces, creating happier, safer, and more efficient workplaces.
At Aries, we hope to make this ideal a reality with our wide range of modular spaces perfect for any need. The construction trailers, modular offices, and GLO come ready-to-go with everything you need to begin operating as soon as the building touches down on your site.
Whether a place to meet and greet clients, bring all the players of the project to the same table, or simply as the central hub of moral support for the workers, these offices are a game changer.
