Quality You Can't Always See

Wilkins Mobile Builders is distinct in the industry because of the quality we provide. Led by a team of seasoned industry executives, Wilkins sets the bar for superior products, corporate integrity and customer satisfaction, a fact backed by the number of clients who repeatedly use our services and who refer others. The quality of our modular buildings is reflected in the added details that you can't always see. One such detail is the addition of a protective plate over all wiring that passes through wall studs. The protective plate ensures the wire is not damaged when exterior finishes are applied to the building. To learn more about our modular buildings, visit our website or click here.

April Showers Bring More Than May Flowers

Everyone has heard the expression "April showers bring May flowers", but they bring construction delays also. Several storms over the southeastern United Sates left behind acres of standing water in 2009. With traditional construction, severe weather can expose materials to the elements effecting the quality of the building components and result in significant delays in construction. One of the benefits of modular construction is construction occurs in a controlled environment of the manufacturing facility.

Spring & Summer Increase Demand for Modular Structures

As summer approaches, we also see an increase in request for modular buildings in campgrounds. Our commercial modular buildings are often used for the common areas within the campground and recreational parks. These free standing buildings allow for rapid expansion of the existing facilities.  In the past, our modular buildings have been used for :

• Shower & Restroom Trailers
• Campground General Stores
• Park and Recreational Offices
• Guard Stations
• Welcome Centers 

Be sure you're ready for Spring and Summer visitors by contact our in-house design team today. To see photos of some of our modular building projects, visit our website or click here.

Modular Building Easier to Remodel and Reuse

Modular construction is a build-process that allows an entire structure to be built and substantially completed away from the project site in the controlled environment of a manufacturing plant location. It is created in large three-dimensional sub-assemblies, (also referred to as modules) that are moved onto the project site where they are set on foundations, and structurally, mechanically, electrically and architecturally connected to form a complete, permanent building.

It is important to understand this method of off-site construction in order to grasp the relative ease with which a building can be completely reused (95 – 100%) by simply reversing the process through which it was installed at the site. The building will virtually come apart in the same sub-assemblies that created it. The amount of disposed material or salvage is negligible compared to a conventionally built structure that is deconstructed on a site. 

Implementing this methodology means a building does not have to be abandoned or demolished while yet another is newly constructed elsewhere. Modular buildings can help your business grow more cost effectively with fast remodeling. You'll also find modular buildings offer the ability to expand existing structures quickly providing new space for the growth of your business.

Designing Out Waste Using Modular Construction

With the momentum of various green rating programs and standards, there has been a great deal of discussion regarding minimizing the amount of construction waste sent to the landfills. The impact of construction and demolition debris (C&D) on the environment is staggering. A recent Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) report estimated that more than 135 million tons of debris from construction sites is brought to landfills every year, making it the single largest source in the waste stream.


A recent white paper by MBI on how modular construction dovetails into the LEED rating system states that one of the great economies of modular construction is the ability to assemble repetitive units in controlled conditions. Another is to minimize material waste associated with conventional construction due to weather intrusion and construction site theft. Whole modular units – largely finished prior to arriving at the construction site – can significantly limit construction waste generated at the site and contribute directly to construction site waste management.

Superior quality - another reason to choose modular construction

Many consumers assume that the primary advantage of modular technology is lower prices. That is only the third most important reason for building a modular home. Faster construction time is the second, and superior quality is the first.

• Trained and closely supervised workforce
• Larger, more powerful, and more sophisticated equipment
• Assembly with precision jigs
• Use of the highest quality, kiln-dried lumber
• Construction in a climate controlled facility with materials protected from the elements
• Construction standards that meet or exceed local and state building codes
• Unparalleled structural strength
• Superior energy efficiency
• Rigorous quality control systems

Occupant Sensor Light Switches - A money saving idea

Each business is looking for ways to save money on the design and day to to operation of their business. Our modular buildings offer up to a 50% saving over traditional construction, but we also can save you money on your daily operating expenses. The installation of a occupant sensor for lights is an option on our custom built modular building. The device automatically turns lights ON when a person enters a room and OFF when they leave. This saves energy, provides convenience and lowers electric bills. To learn more about our modular designs and floor plans, visit our website or click here.

New ways to go green in modular building design

Many of our customers continue to look for options that are more environmentally friendly. One of our customers is using composting toilet as a solution. In addition to being a "green alternative, it eliminates the need for sewer hook up or septic tank additions. To see more of our custom built modular buildings, visit our website or click here.

New Birch Paneling Option for Modular Buildings

Over the past few weeks, we've been working on a new wall board option for our modular building. This new option is a birch wood finish that gives the warmth of wood without the look of old fashioned wood paneling. The interior wall board has a wood veneer finish in birch and create an open and light interior. The final finish can be customer made to your preference including low and high gloss. It's just another detail we offer to our customer by specializing in only custom built modular buildings. To see more of our modular designs, visit our website or just click here.
