5 Myth-busting Modular Building Misconceptions

Cara2022-03-03T02:40:49+00:00

A beautiful photo of an array of brown and orange modular house made by Aries around a field of green grass with a white banner on the bottom that says “5 myth-busting Common Misconceptions about Modular Buildings”

Myth 1 — Modular buildings are ugly, gray, square boxes

Quite the opposite actually. Perhaps modular buildings used to be “ugly” (and ugly is subjective anyway). Forward-thinking architects have moved more towards modular building design due to their affordability and sustainability. Also, the sleek geometric lines and simplicity of style have come to represent sophistication but also an artistically stylized expression of contemporary architecture. To date, there are modular hotels, barns, and emergency rooms. There’s even a contemporary music venue made out of modular buildings in Switzerland, designed by Savioz Fabrizzi Architectes.

Myth 2 — Modular means temporary

While it’s true to say that some modular buildings are specifically temporary solutions, Aries Buildings sells modular buildings that have been constructed according to permanent building standards. The working lifespan (under current building guidelines) is between 60 and 100 years. Temporary modular structures are best for quick set-up and tear down, and they work well in situations when people need a quick housing solution, for example during disaster relief. Permanent structures are durable and can be built with concrete floors, a roof canopy, and other more permanent amenities.

Myth 3 — Modular buildings have bouncy floors

When I was in high school, we didn’t call them modular classrooms, we called them portable buildings (“portables”). I vividly remember walking into my physics’ portable every morning and feeling like I had just entered a bouncy castle. During class, I was mesmerized by Dr. Meyers, who seemingly floated around the room while giving his impossible-to-understand lectures. Well, not anymore. Our inventory (including classrooms!) offers solid floors and we ensure that you can avoid floor vibration.

Myth 4 — Modular is a cheap, and therefore a sub-par solution

Modular construction is more cost-effective than on-site construction, that’s one of the reasons it’s so popular. With Aries, it’s also less expensive than the alternative. Does that mean it’s cheap? Of course not! We all know that inexpensive and cheap are two completely different things. Aries offers affordable modular solutions, while at the same time we strive to maintain sound design and quality construction for a long-lasting and comfortable home, office, classroom, et al.

Myth 5 — Modular buildings are cold in winter, overly hot in summer

Quality insulation is key to ensuring a comfortable internal environment, whether it’s hot or cold. As a Texas-based company, Aries understands the necessity of top-quality insulation to keep the cold air flowing inside during our hot summers. Additionally, after the freeze this past February, we now understand how quality insulation can be lifesaving, especially if it is 9 degrees and you lost your power for 5 days! That is why we offer modular buildings with premium insulation.

According to Forbes Magazine, modular homes and buildings are the future of architecture, and we are on board! Aries is your choice for high quality, commercially designed modular buildings. We specialize in supplying classrooms, offices, storage containers, and remote workforce housing to a wide range of industries and applications across the United States and Canada.

About Aries

We take great pride in our experienced team of engineering, manufacturing, facility management, and sales professionals. Our management team remains involved in all phases of our projects to build strong partnerships with our clients and to focus on each client’s individual and evolving needs. At Aries we are committed to 1) the most innovative design in the modular construction industry, and 2) providing our customers with the most cost-effective solutions.

Cara2021-09-15T03:27:44+00:00

Aries Building Systems is an award-winning modular space provider specializing in supplying full turnkey man camps, remote workforce housing, and commercial modular buildings to an extensive scope of industries and applications across the U.S. and Canada. As part of its growth strategy, Aries intends to expand within the modular industry through acquisitions and internal expansion.

Jobsite Mobile Offices is a Midwest-based, family-owned manufacturer of mobile and modular field offices that cater to the construction, industrial, and other B2B industries. Jobsite started in 1971 in north-central Indiana, and as their various services and reputation grew, so did their customer base. Since its founding, Jobsite Mobile Offices has built virtually all types of mobile and modular buildings, from temporary guard shacks to multi-story permanent buildings. Throughout Jobsite’s 50-year history, they have maintained a top-to-bottom approach encompassing everything from manufacturing, servicing, and financing, as well as employing only the finest and most experienced employees.

Jobsite offers a broad scope of mobile and modular offices, such as standard mobile offices that come with all the features and amenities an office needs to operate, INDOT or Indiana Department of Transportation offices with all the required specifications (this includes INDOT contracts, municipalities, and other agencies that implement construction contracts utilizing INDOT specifications for field offices), custom design mobile offices, and high-performance mobile offices.

With this acquisition, Aries will gain increased credibility, and the future looks promising. Aries and Jobsite share a common goal of providing modular buildings — mobile offices, storage containers, ground-level offices (GLOs), and specialty modular buildings of any kind — to multiple industries, including, but not limited to, commercial, industrial, education, medical, and oil and gas.

As a result of this acquisition, Aries will gain an additional supplier and extend its customer base, particularly in the Midwest region. For both companies, the partnership is a win-win. Michael Bollero, Jr., President of Aries, said, “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.” Bollero is very enthusiastic about adding Jobsite Mobile Offices to the company’s growing portfolio, welcoming customers and associates of the company adding, “These new synergies will significantly enhance our ability to serve the community by bringing forth the most innovative modular solutions possible.” According to Bollero, Jobsite fits right along with Aries’ growth strategy and this acquisition demonstrates Aries’ commitment to expanding further.

Features and Benefits of Modular Building

Like LEGO bricks, modular buildings are structures put together module by module and can be altered, repurposed, and moved as one sees fit. The features and benefits of modular construction have increased its popularity for the past five years. These benefits include environmental friendliness, fast & safe construction, cost-effectiveness, and flexibility.

The Modular Building Institute says, “Modular construction is a process in which a building is constructed off-site, under controlled plant conditions, using the same materials and designing to the same codes and standards as traditionally built facilities – but in about half the time.”

Environmentally friendly

The construction industry alone is responsible for almost 39 percent of the world’s carbon emissions. Most of this is from the ineffectual transportation of labor, equipment, and materials to the building site. One of the benefits of modular buildings is reduced carbon emissions by eliminating most transportation needs since everything takes place in a factory.

With traditional construction, almost 56 million tons of unused materials go to waste each year, such as wood, steel, cement, etc. Modular construction uses excess material to make frames, roofs, and sidings. Due to the nature of the building, excess materials are repurposed and recycled.

Faster construction

According to the Census.gov Survey of Construction, a typical on-site construction takes around seven months to almost a year to complete. Delays are common since on-site construction deals with many external factors such as weather, contractors, and inspections. Modular buildings are constructed in a factory, eliminating any potential delays or complications. Modular buildings are built synchronously with the foundation and site work, so the overall build time is faster.

Cost-effective

From labor to material cost, a benefit of modular buildings is that it is much more affordable than traditional buildings. Due to the concurrent building of several similar modules, excess materials from previous builds can be reused for future projects — saving material costs. Modular construction gives you a faster return on investment. A modularly built restaurant, for example, can start generating profit almost 50 percent sooner than a traditionally made restaurant.

Safer construction

Due to various hazards, traditional construction can be a risky job. Risks such as falls from height and machine malfunctions can lead to injury and even death. An added benefit of modular building is the reduced accidents, and related hazards since modular construction is off-site. Each module is built and assembled on-site, reducing slip and fall accidents. Weather elements are eliminated, preventing contractors from working on slippery surfaces and other hazardous conditions.

Greater flexibility and reuse

Another benefit of modular buildings is that they are easy to transport from site to site. Not having to demolish a pre-existing building saves you the hassle of acquiring permits, licenses, and other policies of demolition services. According to Alpine Demolition Services, a demolition project can cost as high as 10,000 per contract. Since modular buildings are disassembled rather than demolished, you only have to settle the transportation costs.

Award-Winning Modular Building Provider Aries: Best Employer in Modular Industry

catheryn2024-05-02T09:22:50+00:00

Getting a job at a great company can be a daunting task. Truly great companies might be few and far between, but they all have similar traits that make them great. The best employer in modular industry will help you spot these common traits to help you land your dream job at a company that is right for you.

MISSION. People with a focused mission work with companies with a focused mission.

Every great company is mission driven. As Simon Sinek, leadership guru, author, and professor, puts it, “If you hire people just because they can do the job, they’ll work for your money. But if you hire people who believe what you believe, they’ll work for you with blood and sweat and tears.” When a company allows their mission and values to navigate them forward, they attract people who share the same beliefs. People who work for mission-driven companies tend to stay longer and feel more satisfied with their job. If you work for these companies, they will not just send you home with a paycheck − but also with a more profound sense of purpose and fulfillment.

REWARD FOR CHALLENGE. Companies willing to rise to the challenge reward their team members for doing the same.

Let’s face it − we’re talking about business, and productivity is, and should be, a top priority. Sadly, some companies don’t show recognition and do not care to incentivize hard work. No matter how big or small the win is, great companies will celebrate it. They will express their gratitude in giving awards, bonuses, promotions, gift cards, and handwritten notes. Zappos, an American online shoe and clothing retailer known for their deep sense of customer service, practices a unique way of recognition. Every employee in Zappos gets 50 dollars to give to a coworker they think deserves it.

LAUNCH TALENT. Instead of assigning jobs and putting people in them, “A” Teams create jobs around talented people.

2017 Talent Trends survey was a survey by Mercer finding that 5,400 employees worldwide desire individuality in the workplace. Instead of hiring you for a position, a great company will create a job that would best cater to your strengths and attributes.

FLEXIBILITY. A company that practices a flexible attitude will have it reflected in a very productive way.

Flexible companies will consider your wellbeing and adjust to your situation. They will respect your time and understand that you have a life outside the workplace. Aries is a great example of a flexible company. Employees feel that Aries respects their work/life balance and understands that their employees must take care of all aspects of their lives before they can give their best at work.

REMOVE TOXICITY. Great companies shield their employees from toxicity.

Work can be pretty challenging. Loving what you do is not enough, you also must be in a healthy environment that you will enjoy being in. Gary Chapman, author of Rising Above a Toxic Workplace, says, “When a workplace becomes toxic, its poison spreads beyond its walls and into the lives of its workers and their families.” A great company will protect you from toxicity and provide you with a healthy work environment by addressing the problem before it progresses. Since great companies promote workplace wellness, they implement policies that can prevent toxicity. These include anti-bullying policies, training that addresses bullying, and disciplinary actions for employees who violate policies.

FRIENDSHIP. Working with a company that genuinely cares about your happiness & success creates a mutual authentic friendship.

Friendships make life beautiful. Since people spend the majority of their lives in their workplace, positive relationships are essential. Katie Roman, senior vice president of Aries Buildings, said this about working with Aries: “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?!” When you work with a great company, they will motivate you to build strong relationships through get-togethers, scheduled team building exercises, or simply encouraging employee interactions.

OPEN COMMUNICATION. Companies that create a safe environment for open communication are unstoppable. Top talent appreciates transparency.

They say communication is the key to a strong relationship. That is why great companies know how to receive feedback and suggestions. They will provide a safe environment for team members to voice ideas and feel heard. Your opinions matter. Companies that promote transparency create strong relationships within the workplace, resulting in high morale and efficiency.

INDUSTRY LEADERSHIP. This can’t be achieved through clever marketing. It must be REAL. Companies with an authentic, healthy culture will attract the same.

An industry leader is a company that is considered to be the most effective in its industry. They are known for their excellence and expertise. Since they are at the top of their game, they usually have the most experienced, top talent. Landing a job in these companies will allow you to skill up and boost your resumé. Industry leaders often pay well and offer many growth opportunities to deserving team members.

PROVIDE TOOLS. Great companies provide their team members the right tools and technology to show they care by arming them with an easier path to success.

They say you are only as good as the tools you use. A great job entails having the right skill set and the right tools and technology. A great company will not let you march to the battlefield unarmed. Great companies will provide you with everything you need to succeed.

FUN. Um, hello!? We ALL like to have fun. It needs to be in the workplace, too.

A great company is a fun company. Those that incorporate fun in the workplace have better and more creative employees. Companies like Google incorporate fun by having office perks including music and art studios, mini-golf courses, ping pong tables, climbing walls, and even nap pods. But suppose a company does not offer office perks as prestigious as Google. It does not necessarily mean that they don’t have a fun environment. Google and many other great companies all share the same goal for promoting a fun workplace — they want you to love your job and enjoy what you are doing.

If you are at the top of your game, and on the lookout for the best modular building job, then look no further…

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

Lower right, a quote from Julie, “Super impressive to watch these #modularbuildings of ours being #builttolast with such precision craftsmanship and skill down the line at every station and then shipped out the door!! 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.
