Modular
Office Trailers are some of the best utilized space that you can use.
There are numerous positives to using these buildings. Now, I know
there are still some people out there that hear the word "trailers"
and instantly think that they are substandard structures. But
nothing could be further from the truth, especially now. I can tell you
that anything that can be dreamt about can be built utilizing modulars!
I have
been a Setup Contractor for the Modular Industry for over 15 years. So I
am going to bring a little bit different perspective than you will typically
come across reading articles on the internet. I have been performing
setups, teardowns or knockdowns and service for this industry all over the
Northeast. In subsequent articles I am not only going to go over
different uses for modulars but I am going to share with you how a modular
trailer is typically setup or torndown so you will have an idea what to expect
if you already plan to have a modular that is going to be setup or torndown at
your site.

So let’s
dive into the above a little more.
•
Mobility
- Modular Office Trailers or "Portable" Trailers make for
a sound business decision. The fact that these can be hauled to any
jobsite and setup in a matter of hours makes it such a "No Brainer"
when it comes to office space. It has all the perks of a regular office
space that could be rented, but can also be put at any location in very little
time. Then, when you are done with the use of it at your site, you just
take a couple of hours to break it down and then move it to a holding yard or
right over to your next site.

Cost
Effectiveness - Portable Trailers typically are less per sq. ft. to
rent. They can be equipped with anything you would have in a permanent
office space. They also have many options to fit any need that you could
need. If you have a temporary office or offices, some of your furniture
and other items can be left inside the unit for transfer, costing less man hours
to move.
•
Timing
Issues - When it comes to Mobile Trailers, many times it could take
you only a day or two to fill out the needed paperwork to rent or lease a
trailer. Then it is just a matter of scheduling a delivery date.
When you are in a pinch, these trailers are the way to go.
Today,
Modular Trailers can be built into anything that can be accomplished by
"stick building". And with that being said, there are many
advantages to going with these types of buildings.
For
starters, Modulars are all built in a factory setting, thus, being built inside
away from the elements. It’s resembles an assembly line and everything is
done in stages. Also, because they are built in a factory setting, there
are no delays due to inclimate weather which makes for faster turn around.
These can
be either temporary or permanent spaces. They can also be as small as an
8x16 or as big as you can imagine. Many
other uses for these trailers are listed below.
