Modular Construction - Its what you can't see that matters

Modular design and construction has several obvious benefits. The assembly line method of Modular Construction speeds up the construction process. It allows for complete control of building components, and providers higher quality than methods used in traditional construction. These benefits of Modular Construction result in less cost of construction financing and quicker occupancy providing you up to 50% savings over conventional construction or steel buildings. 


Some of the other benefits of modular construction aren't things you can see. Such as the effort to increased energy efficiency and reinforcements to the structure of a modular building. We thought we'd show some of what is never seen. To improve the energy efficiency of a modular building, each light and plug receptacle has extra caulking to reduce the heating and cooling air loss. Wall joist and roof truss systems are reinforced to increase structural strength. Our roof truss system's design exceeds that of other modular building systems with the use of

Simultaneous Construction - The Biggest Benefit of Modular Building Systems

One of the biggest advantages of modular building systems is simultaneous construction. Modular Construction allows for on-site and off-site construction to occur simultaneously. Work on the excavation & foundation happens at the same time as the building component of the construction process. While a general contractor is working on the excavation and foundation of your site, we're busy building a customer designed commercial modular building. As an added bonus, with modular construction, all of the work is performed in the controlled environment of our 65,000 square foot facility. Traditional construction can expose materials to adverse weather conditions effecting the quality of the building components and resulting in significant delays.

Modular or Portable School Buildings headed for Louisiana

The gulf oil spill has caused an increase in demand for modular buildings in Louisiana, but not all of them are related to the oil spill. The demand for new and used portable classrooms increases every year between April and July. As schools plan for the coming years enrollment, modular classrooms are ofter used to quickly adjust the total classrooms. Our school design plans include a small single classroom or as large as entire education complex. If you're think of the old fashioned disjointed clusters of school trailer, you need to think again. Today's modular construction and design allow us to create education complexes which include ADA approved hallways and  handicapped restrooms. Our modular building can also be wired to handle todays modern computer labs and classrooms. Our in-house drafting and design team will work with us to create floor plans that include classroom space and administrative offices.
