Medical Office expands using Modular Medical Building

A local Orthopedic Surgery practice in Winfield Alabama is expanding their medical offices and are using modular construction. Dr Boyett's current building was in need of additional space to accommodate the growth of the practice. Since Wilkins Mobile Builders had created a custom floor plan for his current building, he asked us to help expand the building. By using modular construction, additional office space was added to the existing building with little interruption to the daily office work. This new modular addition was added to the rear of the building making for a seamless expansion of space.

White Christmas For the Southeast Since early 1900's

While it's been almost a hundred years since parts of the Southeast experienced a White Christmas, this year that record was broken. While this record breaking snowfall will slow or delay building projects across the southeast,  our modular constructions projects continue on schedule. With modular construction, all of the work is performed in the controlled environment of our 65,000 square foot facility.

Modular Building not just temporary buildings / solutions

Modular building are not just temporary movable buildings. Permanent modular buildings make up approximately fourty percent of the total modular construction industry's $5 billion in annual revenues in North America. Permanent modular buildings are considered real property which are built to the same building codes and requirements as traditional site built structures. because of this, they are depreciated in a similar manner.

Modular Construction is more resource efficient and inherently greener

Based on a study by the National Research Council, modular construction is more resource efficient and inherently greener construction process than traditional construction. Some of the factors that result in a greener construction process include:

• Greater use of prefabrication
• Reductions in material waste
• Reductions in air and water pollution
• Reduced noise and dust
• The overall energy cost used to complete a building

Our modular building are more environmentally friendly process and a recognized long term solution by many agencies and organizations. To see how you can benefit from modular construction, visit our website www.WilkinsMobile.com.

Modular School Building equals improved student safety

From single classrooms to complete campuses, modular construction offers public, private, and charter schools what other construction methods can not. The accelerated project timelines. more economical pricing, and less disruption are all benefits of modular construction. Perhaps most importantly, using off site construction technology, open construction sites are greatly reduced while school is in session. This benefits is the result of the building being constructed off site vs traditional construction which occurs on site. Students are safer and teachers can compete with less disruptions.

New Model Floor Plan for Pharmacy and DME Retail Stores

We've just finished a new model floor plan for our Pharmacy and DME retail store customers. This new model providers room for retail sales and adds a consultation or minute clinic to our standard floor plan. With the increase in pharmacy and DME owners offering their customers Flu Shots and Nurse Practitioner Consultations, our new floor plan allow easy integration of these services. Another change is the ability to easily adjust the square footage dedicated to retail sales. With this new floor plan, customer looking for less retail space simply remove one of the modular floors and reduce the overall retail space in half. To see a larger copy of this new floor plan, visit our website www.WilkinsMobile.com or just click here.

Environmental Impacts of Traditional Construction Vs Modular Construction

The preliminary results from a recent study showed that impacts from off-site (modular) construction were generally lower than those from on-site (traditional) construction. The average on-site construction impacts were about 23% higher than off-site construction. The generation of construction waste is another important topic. Data for materials that have to be sent to be recycled or sent to a landfill is less also. Modular Builders produce less waste and send far less to a landfill than traditional construction. The strategy of ordering 5 percent or 10 percent extra material - common for traditional construction - is very uncommon in modular construction. The "just in time" delivery of materials and the general policy to not begin construction on a modular building until all materials have been procured probably explains this phenomenon. If you looking to reduce the environmental impact of your construction project, visit our website www.WilkinsMobile.com to find a modular solution.

Primary Benefits of Permanent Modular Construction

Unique to modular construction, while modules are being assembled in a factory, site work is occurring at the same time or in some cases prior to construction. This allows for much earlier building occupancy and contributes to a much shorter overall construction period, reducing labor, financing and supervision costs. The major benefits can be summer up as follows:

1. Streamlined Construction process
2. Resource efficient - Less labor and fewer materials wasted
3. Reduced environmental impact - less site damage, less material exposure and less waste in landfill
