Five Industries Served by Modular Buildings

Step into Aries‘ latest blog, where we explore the top five industries served by modular buildings. Learn about the extraordinary versatility of modular construction and its profound impact on these various sectors: commercial and construction, education, healthcare, government, and disaster relief. Uncover the unique ways in which modular buildings reshape these industries, offering sustainable, efficient, and adaptable solutions.

Commercial and Construction 

As the top consumers of modular products, the commercial and construction sectors utilize the benefits of modular buildings in many ways. From restaurant trailers to mobile banks and private portable offices, the efficiency, financial, and safety perks of modular buildings makes it superior to traditional construction methods.

For instance, modular construction offices stand as a vital presence on outdoor worksites, enhancing both efficiency and safety. On-site workspaces provide refuge for workers to take breaks, be shielded from any outside hazards, and grab refreshments. In addition, they also serve as meeting spaces for engineers to engage with clients and other stakeholders directly at the jobsite. One of the most impressive aspects of modular construction is the rapid setup. In fact, these portable structures can be ready to go in as little as 24 hours, catering to specific requirements such as high-security doors and extra equipment storage.

Modular Building Applications in the Commercial Industry:

• Warehouses and Storage Facilities
• Manufacturing Facilities
• Fitness Centers
• Financial Institutions
• Entertainment Venues
• Research and Development Centers

Education

Remarkably but not surprisingly, the education industry is the second-largest sector served by modular buildings worldwide. Modular educational solutions cover a wide spectrum, ranging from administrative offices and restroom facilities to entire permanent or temporary multi-unit campuses. Modular labs, classrooms, offices, gyms, and locker rooms are all constructed using prefabrication as well.

Modular construction has been a game changer in the educational world due to its speedy construction, design flexibility, and financial advantages. With many schools becoming overcrowded, a go-to solution in the industry has been to add temporary buildings onto the school’s main structure, providing extra space for staff and students to thrive comfortably.

Modular Building Applications in Education:

• Innovation Hubs
• Temporary/Permanent Campus Facilities

Healthcare

The healthcare sector ranks as the third-largest consumer of modular products, following the commercial and educational sectors. From mobile doctor’s offices and medical laboratories, to fully functional hospitals, the modular solution possibilities are endless. Complex healthcare project demands are met faster, smarter, and more eco-friendly.

Modular Building Applications in Healthcare:

• Wellness Centers
• Any other custom facility

For instance, back when coronavirus struck in 2020, a 300,000-square-foot hospital emerged in just a few days in Wuhan, China. Comprising prefabricated modules, this facility accommodated over 1,000 patients battling the pandemic outbreak. In the United States, amidst a pandemic, portable clinics, modular hospitals, and emergency portable housing facilities play a pivotal role, stepping in where traditional construction timelines are impractical.

Government

The government undertakes the responsibility of employing and supporting numerous individuals across diverse services. Modular construction allows for quick delivery amongst many government-run buildings such as certain mobile offices, ground-level offices, storage containers, training facilities, government agencies, municipalities, recreational facilities, and more.

For example, modular buildings are a staple on many government properties, from national parks to visitor centers, DOTs, fire departments, and police buildings.

Modular Building Applications in Government:

• Government Training Facilities
• Educational Institutions
• Municipal Offices
• Housing for Government Employees
• Customs Inspection Stations
• Embassy Facilities

Disaster Relief

In times of disaster, prompt assistance is crucial for those affected. Modular construction can rapidly replace essential facilities, including housing and medical facilities, as well as serve as bases of operation for disaster response officials. The mobility of these structures ensures that large-scale modular housing can be strategically placed in secure locations for disaster victims. Also, the location of emergency services buildings can be easily adjusted and their adaptability to various terrains and disaster sites ensures they can be installed wherever space permits.

Modular Building Applications in Disaster Relief:

• Emergency Command Centers
• Sanitation Facilities
• Communication Centers
• Temporary Bridges and Infrastructure
• Logistics and Supply Chain Centers
• Temporary Housing
