North Carolina Flooding Causes Increased Demand for Modular Buildings

With the recent flooding in North Carolina, we've seen an increase in the demand for our modular buildings. We currently have in stock several multiple office, bank, classroom, and pharmacy floor plans. While modular construction allows for rapid construction, usually within 3 months, we know some of our customers have an immediate need. We're urging our North Carolina customers to contact as soon as possible to ensure the availability of buildings.

It what you can't see that makes the difference

Modular designs are reviewed extensively by Engineers for structural concerns, 3rd Party Agencies for code compliance, and State Modular review programs. This process of checks and balances ensures your building meets guidelines of ADA, Life Safety, and Natural Disaster codes. Wilkins own Quality Control Manager and 3rd Party Agencies review your building throughout the construction process. One example of the little extra that make our modular buildings superior to others is double studs around windows and doors.By using double studs around doors and windows the wall is reinforced to this original strength.

Fast Track Construction with Modular Building Techniques

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. This reduces the completion time by as much as 9 months. Traditional construction can expose materials to adverse weather conditions effecting the quality of the building components and resulting in significant delays. With Modular Construction, all of the work is performed in the controlled environment of our 65,000 square foot facility.
