DIFFERENT TYPES OF MODULAR BUILDINGS
A considerable number of different types of modular buildings are especially suited for a range of different needs and applications. Depending on why you need a modular construction could impact the kind you’d need. We’ve prepared a list of different types of modular and temporary structures and the best applications to suit them best.
Modular Offices:
As the name suggests, these types of modular buildings are mainly aimed at businesses that want to expand their company size or open multiple bases. The main benefit of this type of modular building is the low cost required compared to a traditional installation or renting office space. Of course, you don’t just need to use this type of modular building for stereotypical office space- you could use it for storage, exhibition or showroom space. Modular offices can also be used in retail, distribution or as workforce welfare units.
Modular Classrooms:
The education sector is rapidly expanding, with many schools, colleges and universities struggling to cater for surplus students and pupils appropriately. Growing class sizes can quickly put a strain on educational institutions. Schools and universities can effectively expand their capacity without investing in a new permanent space or extension. Modular classrooms can be refurbished to suit specific needs or accessibility requirements, such as a science lab, ICT suite or music room. As modular classrooms can be installed so much faster and efficiently than alternative structures, there is minimal disruption - which is vital for any learning environment.
Modular Clinics:
With more specialist health services becoming more accessible within the community, the need for more flexible clinic spaces is increasing yearly. Many healthcare institutions cannot implement a permanent structure or extension located on outdated hospital grounds. Modular clinics are versatile solutions for various health care services and community centres. We can offer fully customisable modular clinics that are suitable to cater to specialist equipment or instrumentation. Modular clinics are ideal for ward accomodation, staff rooms, data centres or urgent care units.
No matter what type of modular building you’re looking for, modern examples should include basic or customisable internal features to make the experience much more enjoyable for it’s users.Features should include appropriate flooring and insulation to ensure the modular building is usable in the winter months and they should also be completely weatherproof to provide a safe spot for specialist equipment or computer systems.Electrical outlets should be easily accessible as well as appropriate light fittings and standard safety requirements like emergency lighting and exits should be included with every commercial modular building.
At Paragon Space, not only do our modular buildings contain the essential features, they can also be completely customisable to retrofit specific requirements or equipment. All of our pre-owned modular buildings can be refurbished to include specific features whilst remaining a highly cost effective solution.For more information about the benefits of modular buildings, speak to our team at Paragon Space today.
