Modular Buildings for Flexible Solutions

What are modular buildings?
Modular buildings are customizable structures made in a factory instead of on-site before being transported and assembled at your construction site. Modular building construction is more efficient than traditional construction as the modules are being made at the same time by one crew, and another is prepping the designated location.
Can I buy or rent used modular buildings?
Yes! You can buy or rent used modular buildings from our available inventory. These buildings are a great option if you need a space quickly and want to save money. Renting or buying a used modular building can also be a smart choice if you need an affordable mobile office trailer, portable classroom, or other space.

How soon should I place my modular building order?
It’s best to place your modular building order as early as possible to make sure you get the space you need on time. The delivery time depends on factors like the size of the building, customization options, and availability. Understanding when to place a modular building order will help you plan the timeline for your overarching project.
How are your modular buildings delivered?
We deliver modular buildings using a special truck called a toter to transport the modules to your location. Once they arrive, a crew places them on the prepared foundation, and we make sure it is stable and level. This step is crucial to keeping the unit ready for use. After delivery, they’ll then work on the final steps, such as utility hookups and interior finishing.
Can you relocate a modular building?
Yes! We can move modular buildings to a new location. Our team of trained drivers makes sure the building is safe to move. Before taking it away, they check everything to make sure it arrives in good condition and on time.
