Outstanding schools need highly qualified teachers and staff to help each student succeed. Still, it is also essential to have a well-designed building that optimizes performance and promotes a great learning space. We must invest in a building solution that accommodates these needs, and Aries is a world leader in modular classrooms.

Aries has the best to offer when it comes to modular classrooms. Aries offers many education-building solutions for school districts – from temporary portable classrooms to permanent, multi-unit campuses. From designing an optimal floor plan to creating outstanding structural accommodations, Aries will meet all your relocatable education needs.

There are many reasons why you should rent, buy, or lease modular classrooms with Aries. One of the many advantages of working with Aries is that we can construct your facility off-site while concurrently constructing your land on-site as a manufacturer. This allows us to complete all phases of your project in half the time of traditional construction. This also means no weather delays, postponed work schedules, and unexpected delays–so you can get to class on time.

Aries’ modular classrooms are highly customizable. We offer a wide range of options, including mobile administrative offices, portable restrooms, classroom trailers, mobile locker rooms, science labs, libraries, pre-schools, assembly, modular cafeterias, etc. Aries also offers a broad scope of floor plans and immediate delivery on all of them.

A Note from Aries: Pandemic Safety In Portable Classrooms

Right from the very beginning of the pandemic, Aries recognized the challenges facing schools – and the safety of students, faculty, and staff is still on everyone’s mind. If you need additional classroom space quickly, Aries is here to help. Other safety features are available in multiple classroom sizes and an extensive nationwide fleet – ready to provide solutions to help keep everyone as safe as possible:

Temperature Monitoring

Keep students safe by adding on a system that allows for touch-less temperature screening within a 10-foot range.

UV Disinfection Lighting

Utilize the power of broad-spectrum UV rays to disinfect classrooms of up to 99.9% of viruses, bacteria, and fungi.

HEPA Air Filter

Ultra-strong HEPA air filters keep fresh air circulating while removing harmful toxins, allergens, and germs so teachers and students can breathe easier.

Auto-Open Doors

Less contact means less germs. Auto-open doors allow for easy movement into and out of classrooms without having to worry about passing bacteria or viruses over door handles.

Wall-Mounted Hand Sanitizer

Conveniently placed hand sanitizer in classrooms will help protect students, teachers, and staff from spreading germs.

In summary, if you seek the best modular classrooms, whether to buy, lease, or rent, Aries has what you are looking for!

The Leading Provider of Portable Classrooms

A single book, its pages parted and standing up, lays open on a table in the foreground of the picture, out of focus behind the open book are bookshelves filled with books.

The innovative spirit that has always driven humanity forward is alive and well in the modular industry. The modular process combines some of the best features of industrialization: assembly line efficiency, factory-controlled quality, and customer service based on reliability – into the construction industry. For these reasons, modular buildings offer solutions to some of today’s most pressing problems, from the housing crisis to environmental issues.

A computer-rendered drawing of the front of different buildings, a small house, a high-rise building, another house with a front yard and white picket fence, and a square building that looks like a motel, all lined up beside each other on a white background.

The education sector has received an abundance of benefits through modular buildings. The successful integration of portable classrooms into the school system says quite a bit about the potential of these versatile creations.

Let’s begin with the most obvious obstacle schools face: underfunded budgets. With so many different projects vying for the limited funds, schools often look for ways to get the job done less. So, are schools settling for lower quality products to cut costs? Not in this case. Relocatable classrooms create savings through their factory-controlled construction, not through reducing the quality of the building or materials. Through assembly lines, predictable workflows, dependable access to raw materials, as well as avoiding other construction hazards like weather delays and accidents, modular construction reduces costs without sacrificing quality.

The next monumental benefit of modular buildings is the flexibility they provide.

From leasing to buying, schools can tailor their purchases to their circumstance from temporary to permanent. This proves invaluable for school systems dealing with unexpected influxes of students or who simply need relief while a building’s final expansion is underway. During COVID, many schools solved spacing demands by expanding their campuses with portable classrooms.

Kelso School District

This temporary need was true for the Kelso School District, which asked for swing space for Butler Acres Elementary while most of the school was rebuilt (pictured below). As the National Center for Educational Statistics points out, they are just one of many schools that use classroom trailers, up to a third of all schools.

Behind a grassy knoll, a red portable classroom with two doors, ramps with handrails, and two white framed windows sits in front of the main school building and tall pine trees beneath a blue sky with wispy clouds.

But are there any drawbacks to choosing modular classrooms?

In many districts, there are many fears associated with prefabricated buildings. For one, school districts worry about image and parents’ perception when they see portable buildings. On the other hand, parents raise concerns about structural safety, comfort, air quality, and the production design of the overall learning environment. Are any of these concerns well-founded?

A computer-rendered image of a person with no facial features, a dark yellow shirt with a white collar and white cuffs in front of a blue background, and a thought cloud with a blue question mark hovering beside their head.

In some respects, the fears are based on some truth. Not all modular companies provide the same level of customer support, or they refurbish leased buildings well past the optimal life cycle of the building. In addition, school systems, themselves, err when they settle for sub-par products because the modular buildings are a “temporary” addition which will be gone after a cycle. Consequently, they bring buildings onto campus that they ordinarily would not if they thought it was going to be permanent.

Aries

That’s why at Aries, we work on building a relationship of trust with our clients. The best signs of our success are repeat clients who have seen Aries’s quality and workmanship. From aesthetic quality to interior design, a team of experienced professionals works closely with each customer to ensure that the new accommodations meet all the school’s relocatable needs. Furthermore, the modular industry worldwide has taken huge steps in the versatility of their projects. This is no longer a “one size fits all industry,” and schools can customize their classrooms into unique and dynamic designs. The idea that a portable classroom consists of single- and double-wide trailers no longer apply. Even entire complexes is built to meet the school’s needs. Then, the furnished classrooms will have markers, blackboards, desks, and also slew of other necessities to get the school rolling on time.

Every single detail counts in education, and that’s something Aries has learned in their years of experience working alongside schools.

Studies have shown that building design affects everything from student exam scores to emotional resilience to attendance rates. Furthermore, teachers appreciate thoughtful additions. These includes hand sanitizer dispensers built into the wall, air filters, as well as design that reduces ambient noise. At Aries, we work hard to provide the highest quality portable classrooms from beginning to end. That means no waiting from the phone line to phone line. Customers get the best of both worlds. The resources of a large company with the personalized attention of a small company. Furthermore, Aries believes and makes a difference in education and also being the best modular building provider on the market.

Why Modular Building Industry is Taking Over the World

catheryn2023-02-09T19:50:55+00:00

A graphic circle representing the globe has little square flags from all over the world in rows on its surface.

The modular building industry has made several seemingly unrelated splashes in the last decade. Scattered amidst the torrent of information assailing our screens, we have all caught a rumor of a modular hospital built in Wuhan, China in just two weeks. Forbes, CNN, and other major news outlets have reported on the Marriott Hotel chain’s push to build high-rise modular hotels. In 2014, Business Insider reported on the construction of a series of New York modular apartments.

The list goes on.

A luxury hotel room with square windows, a large king size bed, and in the back of the room, a living area with couch, TV, lamp, and a door that leads to another room, all examples of what can be accomplished with prefabricated building.

The news is hardly surprising for many professionals in the modular building industry.

For years they have been touting the benefits of modular construction, highlighting how well these benefits align with some of today’s most pressing needs. For example, as an eco-friendly, less wasteful option, modular construction offers new generations options that fit their values. Furthermore, in 80% of U.S. markets, housing prices are rising faster than wages. Within this scenario, modular may be the long-sought ace in the sleeve for urban development.

From hospitals at full capacity (The Bureau of Labor cites increased demand from caring for the aging baby-boom population, longer life expectancies, and continued growth in the number of patients with chronic conditions), to overwhelmed school systems, to the continuing urbanization of the global population, the types of modern issues addressed by modular construction creates another lengthy list.

When all these data points are compressed into numbers, the picture that emerges is quite clear. According to Allied Market Research, the modular building industry is set to grow at a CAGR of 7.1% between 2019-2026. Yet as the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports, 5 out of 20 of the fastest-growing industries from 2019 to 2029 are in healthcare and social assistance. With these providers turning to modular solutions, it may very well prove that 7.1% CAGR is an understated figure.

Modular Building Industry’s Biggest Hurdles

But that is not the only reason to believe that the prefabricated building industry might very well overperform. The biggest hurdle that modular construction needs to overcome to revolutionize the construction industry is the problem with perception. Firstly, as modular properties are often considered chattel (relocatable buildings), there is a perception that finding competitive mortgages may be a challenge. However, not all modular buildings are chattel, and modular companies are beginning to offer their own financing and leasing packages.

Secondly, there has been a long-standing myth about modular buildings being low quality. This may very well have to do with the association of mobile homes, which are a type of modular building, often also associated with economically depressed areas of the urban landscape.

Yet with modular becoming the spotlight of architecture awards that hail it as “the future of architecture that will take over the world,” and with luxury hotels being built using modular technology, past perceptions of modular building quality are seemingly built on quicksand.

A modular building composed of three different sized squares, two forming the base and one stacked up in the middle of the two and jutting out to form a terrace roof, while large windows make up the full front face of the cubes and an asymmetrical swimming pool sits in front of the building.

The technological progress accelerates the changing perception of modular buildings.

With tech giants like Facebook and Google, and industry leaders IKEA and Toyota investing in modular building, we can expect many R&D achievements. Future modular buildings will be more affordable, smarter, more aesthetic, and simply more attractive to new generations of home and business owners. Will future modular buildings come pre-set with “Alexa”-style systems that manage dozens of appliances through voice control? With Google and Facebook involved in modular, it is not off the table. As the Covid-19 pandemic proved, the modular building industry is well equipped to modify their buildings with technological turnkey solutions.

A man in a business suit manipulates a tablet, and behind him on a computer-generated background, we can see icons for various smart home applications such as temperature, security, entertainment, and electricity.

Regardless of the vantage point, modular buildings seem poised to continue making splashes into the future. Only the law of the jungle will ultimately decide whether the modular revolution will come to fruition, yet all the right components, from demand, to investment, to current market

share and innovation, seem aligned and pointing in one direction: that modular buildings will take over the world.

Current advantages of modular buildings:

Modular building is green construction. One of the reasons that modular building is the future of building, in addition to being affordable, is because it is good for the environment. Companies everywhere are turning to modular building because:

Efficiency and quality control

2. Reduction in material waste — Cuts in net waste, incident errors, and accidental damage.

3. Reduction in life cycle energy and carbon — Life cycle structure supports a long-life cycle, energy and carbon cost of construction amortized over a longer period.

4. Reducing energy use for construction — Factories are better able to control energy use and emissions than conventional construction.

5. Transportation reduction related impacts — Cuts greenhouse emissions because there are fewer deliveries and fewer workers commuting.

6. Operational impact (change) reduction — Factory-made homes allow for tighter joints and seams, so portable buildings have more precise air barriers and installation of thermal insulation, the minimization of thermal bridging equals more reliable thermal performance and conservation of energy.

7. Support of adaptation reduce, reuse, recycle

8. Fast construction — Simultaneous site preparation and building construction, while factory conditions allow for fast, high-quality assembly.

2021 Top Modular Building Company ARIES: A Company Overview

catheryn2021-01-06T20:59:23+00:00

The home pages of ariesbuildings.com and ariesresidencesuites.com, with “Aries maroon” colored ampersand connecting the two images.

Welcome to 2021! Let us reintroduce ourselves. We are Aries, a leading North American modular building company – we’d like to remind you why.

Although Aries has multiple business units within its impressive portfolio, it suffices to say that Aries’ business can be divided into two sectors: workforce housing and manufacturing modular buildings. As all good stories are told, we will start at the beginning.

The Story of RAM: How Reliant Asset Management’s Past Spells Success for Your Future

Founded in 2010 by brothers and business partners, Michael and Barry Roman, Reliant Asset Management is the culmination of forty years of hard work, perseverance, and experience in the modular construction industry. Building from the success of their previous modular construction financing company, Resun Leasing, Inc., the Roman brothers initially created RAM to provide modular buildings and workforce housing for an array of professional needs.

Since then, they have expanded the privately-owned company’s reach by acquiring several subsidiaries – including Class Leasing Inc. which serves the education sector in California.

“The future of the RAM family of companies is extremely bright,” explains co-founder and Vice President Michael Roman, “the education and commercial sectors are strong. RAM is rapidly moving from a third-party finance company to a powerhouse lease originator and remarketer. We are redeploying assets returned from initial operating leases and realizing very solid values.” Indeed, RAM’s push into newer sectors, including education and leasing, has allowed the company to adapt and thrive, even during tumultuous economic conditions.

Aries Residence Suites: Modular Buildings for Workforce Housing & Extended Stay

Aries Residence Suites is a full-service North American provider of oilfield housing with a focus on quality, value, delivery, and service. We understand the large-scale housing needs of oilfield companies and other remote labor industries, and we take great pride in meeting those needs with our experienced team comprised of engineering, manufacturing, facility management, and sales professionals. We are here to deliver your workers a home away from home.

To attract and retain consistent, valuable employees, it is vital to offer top quality housing. Many workers leave their hometowns and families behind to seek financial opportunity making it extremely important to create a hospitable environment for them to go to off the job. Having suitable accommodations can increase profitability, improve morale, improve safety, boost productivity, and reduce turnover rates.

A rendered image of a road spanning forward toward the horizon, Aries’ flags line the roadside on a bright, sunny day with the words “Aries Residence Suites” across the top, the official icons/tagline saying, “Eat, Sleep, Refresh,” and five ram-head bullet points at the bottom listing “world class amenities, serving North America, unmatched logistics, 24/7 on-site service, and financing available.”

Aries Accommodations

Whether you are in Texas, Oklahoma, or North Dakota, we have consistent accommodation offerings that will draw in the top-quality workers. Beyond these locations, Aries specializes in remote warm or cold climate camps, remote lodging, drill camps, and all-inclusive workforce housing.

Regardless of size or location, Aries can help you design, install, and operate the best possible accommodations for your project. Mines and drill camps are often operated in remote areas, far away from hotels or other boarding options. This means companies must provide food services and accommodations for the workers, often for extended periods of time. We also understand that your project may require on-site facilities for engineers staying briefly, short-term contractors, or long-term workers. Our design team will work with you to create accommodations of the right size and configuration while customizing our offering to fit your budget.

Some of our accommodations include:

• Theatre rooms

• Satellite TVs in bedrooms

• Housekeeping 3 times a week

• Linen change once a week

• Laundry facilities

• Dining halls

• Locker and mudrooms

• On-site storage

• 24/7 security

• Fully furnished rooms

• Gyms

• Internet service

• And more!

An image of Tiffany Wilson, Aries Residence Suites’ U.S. Director of Sales presented next to a quote, “We sell space… it’s been busy. Whether it’s due to the oil and gas industry, solar companies, pipeline… it’s just a busy place to be right now.”

In last year’s interview with Crude Life, Aries Residence Suites’ U.S. Director of Sales Tiffany Wilson explained, “Here in west Texas we offer a 24-hour dining hall with chefs onsite, housekeeping, free laundry services, you name it. When you come to an Aries’ site, we want you to feel at home.” Wilson went on to add, “People have a need for temporary offices, wellsite quarters… we can do anything from mobile offices, classrooms, storage containers to workforce housing. Our leaders have been in this since 1982. This is what we do. Like I said, we sell space!” (Hear the full interview here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBkZ4BH04w0)

Bottom line: customer service is not a “department.” It is everyone’s job. Aries offers quality employee housing, modular man camps, oilfield workforce housing, and executive housing throughout the country. Our focus is to define what our customers need and make that what Aries does best.

Aries: Award-Winning, Full-Service Supplier of Modular Buildings

A full-service supplier of modular buildings with a strong focus on education and commercial applications, our versatile portable units can be quickly delivered for short- and long-term lease.

Camp Operations is just a small portion of what we do as a whole at Aries Buildings – the boots on the ground are everywhere working hard to serve you!!!”

Today, contemporary modular buildings are much more than simply provisional construction trailers and classroom portables. From deluxe workforce housing to educational networks to hospital and government facilities, modular construction is leading the way in providing accessible, affordable, and cutting-edge development for the modern world. Indoor manufacturing of modules ensures consistency of quality while eliminating the associated waste of damaged products that have been subjected to outdoor construction.

Not only is modular technology more practical and environmentally-friendly than classical construction, but it is also faster and more efficient – saving you time and money.

“The goal has, and always will be, to serve our customers to the best of our ability. Aries is comprised of skilled individuals that take pride in what they do, and we genuinely care about our customers and each other. It’s a wonderful thing when others notice our hard work,” Reliant President Barry Roman summarizes.

Aries has made a habit of creating award-winning designs. In addition to being awarded top ranking last year in the relocatable modular education under 10,000 sq. ft. category for the Houston ISD project, Aries also received an honorable mention for their Aries Goldsmith Lodge relocatable workforce housing facility (Goldsmith, TX), Claremont Hotel & Spa relocatable administrative buildings & locker room buildings (Berkeley, CA), and the BelovEd Community Charter School multi-story relocatable educational facility (Jersey City, NJ).

“Aries starts with providing space. That’s what we do. We provide space across North America and beyond, from mobile offices, storage containers, to entire workforce housing camps. But providing space is just the beginning. Aries is a full turnkey general contractor with capabilities of financing, customizing, delivering, managing, and outfitting with whatever people, places, or things the customers’ requests. We are proud to be a total modular solution provider and have our sights set on a very bright future,” adds Roman.

catheryn2023-02-09T20:14:14+00:00

The pandemic has brought with it a need for safe space solutions. Fortunately, Aries has been ahead of the curve with customizations and financing (buying or leasing) that make acquiring a modular building as easy as ordering a floorplan and having it delivered, lickety-split.

How to Earn Customers for Life: Advice from Modular Building Leader Aries

catheryn2023-02-09T20:01:01+00:00

Close-up image of 2 people wearing suits shaking hands on a sunny day above green grass and with a backdrop of fluffy clouds.

There are various forms of customer service, ranging from the flashy, high-pressure approach commonly associated with car salesmen to the technical, polished demeanor often seen in corporate seminars. Some customer service representatives exude a friendly demeanor while they assist customers with their needs. And then, there’s customer service as a culture, the unifying thread that runs through the entire business from manufacturing to final sale and beyond.

Oftentimes, this last type of customer service grows organically. Employees that report feeling understood and cared for are more likely to transfer that accommodating style towards company clients. Furthermore, well-cared for employees are more likely to stay put, accumulating experience that empowers them with unique, tailored insight into customer needs. The end result is a “home grown” culture of customer service.

A slender stem and two tender green leaves sprout from black soil, used as a metaphor for the customer service provided by modular office leader, Aries, which “grows” its customer service from the ground up.

Attributes of Companies with “Home Grown” Customer Service:

Companies that attain this “home grown” customer service flourish through the following traits:

1) They nurture relationships instead of processing clients. They ensure that each customer is treated like a unique individual with a certain set of needs.

2) They make life easy for their clients, eliminating the hassle. Companies that take the time to worry about the details ensure a streamlined customer experience.

3) They do the right thing. Companies with integrity never over-promise and admit if they under-deliver.

4) They work behind the scenes for the customer experience. From raw materials to headhunting, companies with good customer care understand that success in the front end depends on what happened at the back end.

5) They are readily available, and not just in the sales department. There are no long waits on the phone, no uncertainty. When you call, the right person answers.

6) They take the time to listen to customer needs, understanding that customer satisfaction and retention is the key to long term success.

7) They go the extra mile. Indifference and apathy kill relationships, and it is no different in the business world. Customers like to know that the company has their back and will react to any difficulties encountered along the way.

8) They make things look good. It all goes back to attention to detail. Companies need to understand the appearance and substance are inseparable.

Becoming a Modular Industry Leader in Customer Service

Aries’ customer care is built from the ground up, permeating every corporate interaction.

Step one: The first step is attracting the best talent. Aries attracts the most experienced experts in the prefabricated industry through best business practices: vertical integration and the manufacturing of new, quality buildings. When the experts know that the company is headed in the right direction, they are more likely to jump onboard.

Step two:

Secondly, take care of our own. Aries employees understand that they are not just a number, but a member of the Aries family. When Aries employees stick around, they create a culture of unity and experience. Since the highest expectation is for employees to “do the right thing,” company culture never clashes with the high personal expectations that our experts have for themselves.

Step three:

With these steps in place, great service for customers become a natural extension of the overall Aries’ spirit. Honest, accessible, and also knowledgeable, the Aries family carries forward the industry standard in customer care.

Final step: Application.

Many companies the size of Aries succumb to the temptation to focus on quantity instead of quality. However, Aries is a large company with a small company feel. Just take it from our repeat customers. Below is a gallery of our recent work with some of our clients who were able to get their modular buildings delivered with our quality stamp. For example, Aries was able to put its customer care into practice by fast-tracking a mobile office to CPI Products after their factory burned down and left them without an office. When our customers need us to step up, we are ready. Whether it is classrooms, workforce housing, storage containers, or mobile offices, we make it happen. Take a look!

Quality Modular Building and Service, from Sea to Shining Sea

catheryn2020-10-22T18:52:58+00:00

“We realize that our buildings are their image,” Richard “Dee” Stephens II states matter-of-factly, “our customers want portable office trailers to hold meetings in. They have owners, clients, and everyone else coming in.”

Richard and I are talking on the bleachers of a rodeo ring, the red dirt tossed around in piles after a day of competition. Even on a Saturday afternoon, with his friends and fellow competitors a few yards away, Richard finds time to sit down and talk about his work at Aries.

That attentiveness to his work, he states, is what sets him and Aries apart from the competition in modular offices. “It’s all about responsiveness. You must stay in front of the customer. They have to have confidence that we will get back to them in a timely manner and take care of whatever issues they may have.

Through facilitators such as Richard, Aries has become the preferred vendor for such prestigious companies as the NRP group, Southern Border Constructors, and Skybeck, amongst others.

“It’s the quality of the portable office trailers, and the fact that we still care about customer service. Biggest two things,” he says about the key to becoming a preferred provider.

The customers build a relationship of trust with Richard, their single point of contact for everything from design to delivery and pick-up, and this creates a harmonious workflow between the customers and Aries.

In another part of the country, Tom Pieper hits on the same notes. He handles portable office trailer deliveries across the central United States. When I call him, he is taking a break from doing some work on the ‘66 Mustang that he’s had since 1985.

For him, customer service starts with the first call. Tom listens to the customer’s needs, his experience guiding his questions. His goal is to help both him and the customer discover exactly what they need. By paying attention to the details, Tom helps craft and deliver a project exactly suited for each customer. The initial call begins a relationship that will continue throughout the process.

“The people at Aries have a good tenure in the industry, and are familiar with the process,” he answers when asked why Aries is superior to the competition. “And they have a single point of contact. With our competitors there will be at least 3-5 different people you have to speak with to get people on-site. It’s crazy. You call customer service and are on hold, waiting to talk to three or four different people, like a cable company. With us, it’s a direct line.”

For Aries, acquiring human resources with the talent and experience of Richard and Tom is a fundamental part of the business.

“When they were looking to hire me, they gave me a tour of their facility,” says Richard, “they had different units at different stages. I was able to see the work that went into them. I realized that the buildings were superior to others I had seen in the industry.”

The quality he found at Aries also convinced Tom to jump on board. The new equipment and the fact that Aries’ owns its factories, convinced him that the company was “moving in the right direction.”

This quality is no accident. At Aries, management believes that going the extra mile in manufacturing new buildings pays off, not just with the customer, but by attracting the best talent in the portable office trailer industry.

“These guys have seen it all. When you’re coordinating so many hands to get things delivered and set up, mishaps happen. Thankfully, our guys have enough experience to where they can foresee most obstacles. They understand that cutting corners in the portable building industry leads to buildings tipping over on the highway, no pun intended.”

In Texas, Richard goes back to talking to the other competitors about the day’s rodeo. Tom, finishes working on the Mustang for the day and prepares for a bike ride with his wife.

Neither of them, however, completely disconnect. In an industry where time and precision matter, they are both just a call away.

What Industries Are Best Suited for Fast Modular Building?

Nathalia and Jorge2020-08-06T04:21:09+00:00

An upward-facing photo of a mid-sized building with rectangular modules jutting out at alternate angles between white, load-bearing columns with a blue sky and clouds above.

Most people associate modular construction with certain industries, such as the construction, education, health, and energy sectors. The efficiency and durability of modular buildings make them dominant products that are extremely useful in these fast-paced industries.

However, modular construction can be found in the unlikeliest of places, such as residential homes, governmental buildings, and skyscrapers. Other industries such as the hospitality, restaurant, and disaster relief industries have also begun taking advantage of the time and cost savings offered by the prefabrication industry.

In the following list, we illuminate some of the most astonishing uses of modular building in six different industries.

Health Industry

In the mid-1800’s, the Florence Nightingale-associated Renkioi Hospital proved to be a great success. During the Crimean war, this modular hospital saved, by a factor of 10, more lives when compared to the other British hospital in use, the Scutari Hospital.

A detailed sketch of Renkioi Hospital showing a large building with multiple wings surrounded by smaller square buildings with gable roofs in rows, a few larger buildings, and several tents all at the base of a large mountain while people on horses move about.

Fast forward to 2020, and the same formula for the rapid construction of modern hospitals is still being applied. Today, the healthcare industry represents the third largest consumer of modular products, behind the commercial and educational sectors. For example, the modular industry made possible the construction of a 300,000 square foot hospital in only 6 days. The prefabricated modules housed over 1,000 patients fighting the most recent coronavirus in Wuhan, China. Here in the United States, portable clinics, modular hospitals, and emergency portable housing facilities are literally “saving the day” as there is no time for traditional construction amidst a pandemic.

More than anything, modular hospitals prove just how specialized modular buildings can become; as well as treating large amounts of critically ill and injured patients with little disruption and when time is tantamount.

Education

Education centers all around the world benefit from permanent buildings and temporary accommodation buildings. Labs, modular classrooms, offices, gyms, and locker-rooms have all been built using prefabrication. The education industry represents the second biggest consumer of modular products.

For example, in London in just one year the Apex Towers were constructed as student housing. Rising 29 stories and containing 580 units for student living, Apex Towers highlights one of the strengths of off-site manufacture which is the non-intrusive nature of its operation. A reporter for Construction Manager Magazine stated, “I have been on-site for over an hour and during that time I have only seen a handful of operatives, working from mast climbers on the façade, a few site managers, and just two lorry deliveries, each carrying one piece of cargo.”

Despite the low activity level, the tower was built at dizzying speed thanks to turn-key modules that were delivered ready for use, foregoing the need for installation of sinks, bathrooms, electrical finishes, water pipes, sockets, or light switches.

The streamlined architecture also highlights the modular industry’s venture towards more customizable structures that fit the personality of clients.

Construction

Traditional and modular construction have a long history of working together. For example, on most traditional construction sites, a portable, modular office can be found on-site.

A digital rendering of a large, grey trailer office along the length of which are a few sets of thin rectangular windows, and two short staircases with railings leading to two white doors.

In addition, many builders use hybrid projects that place modular buildings alongside traditional construction. Clients appreciate the choice of having these portable solutions paired with more permanent buildings. Relocatable buildings also are in high demand next to traditional construction.

In New York, condos worth between 2 million to 2.5 million on the market have been built using hybrid construction. The rooms themselves were manufactured off-site, but the outside façade is designed and built in a traditional manner to give it a unique and personalized feel.

Hospitality

The modular industry’s speed and cost advantages are well known. But can prefabricated buildings be a luxury product with top notch quality? Yes, according to Marriott International.

With 14% of the market, Marriott International is the biggest player in the luxury hotel industry. In many ways, they set the pace for other hotel chains, creating best practices that will be followed by competitors. That is why when they built the world’s tallest modular hotel in New York City, they lauded it as a “game-changing symbol” for the industry. As reported by Forbes:

According to Julia Brenner’s article in Forbes.com, “The New Marriot in Manhattan is the World’s Tallest Modular Hotel”: “[T]raditional construction times] have increased by as much as 50 percent since 2011. In addition to shorter build times, [Marriott International] has found that modular construction has additional benefits, such as reduced curbside waste and noise disruption, while resulting in an end product that is higher quality due to the factory-level precision used to create each guest room module.”

In 2018, the hospitality industry represented the fourth largest consumer of modular products. When the doors to the B1M open this year, the hospitality industry will be well on its way to closing the gap between itself and the third-place healthcare industry.

Governmental Buildings

Created to house the 1851 World’s Fair, the Crystal Palace in London awed visitors with its splendid glass ceiling. Spectacularly, the iron frames and modular construction allowed the Crystal Palace to be built in only 190 days, a mind-boggling figure.

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

Energy Sector

Modular homes have always existed in the frontier. They were present in 1670 colonial Massachusetts, in California during the Gold Rush, and even now on the frontiers of North America, where the energy sector drills the oil that powers society.

In less than half the time of traditional projects, modular builders such as Aries Residential Suites construct whole neighborhoods with all the complexity and comforts found at home. Amenities of a workforce housing neighborhood include cafeterias, theater rooms, indoor and outdoor recreation areas, and the staff to manage it all.

What the Future Holds

Without a doubt, industry leaders are turning towards modular buildings. They’re finding competitive advantages in mature industries through utilizing modular construction, overcoming some of the traditional limits of traditional construction. Today, companies can take advantage of time, precision, and cost savings without sacrificing on quality and customization.

At Aries, we hope to keep companies at the forefront of the modular revolution.
