Why you should consider modular buildings

Modular buildings expand on half a century of building as the future trend of construction. These structures are built off-site under controlled plant conditions and completed in about half the time–meaning that you can have your new home or building completed in less than a year. And with our team handling everything from the design concepts, engineering, permits, installation, and more, you don’t have to worry about communicating with and keeping track of a dozen contractors. 

What is an extra-wide container?

An extra-wide container offers solutions that a “container home” cannot. They are only eight feet wide, thus providing limited options that are solved with our extra-wide containers. We optimize the space and expand them to be up to twelve feet wide and we can still ship and deliver your structure to the building site. Like modular buildings, these buildings are not limited in design.

Services

Extra-Wide Containers

Extra-wide offices, commercial kitchens, portable toilets, retail spaces, and more can be factory-built efficiently and quickly. Our extensive, full-service process delivers high-quality permitted and turnkey buildings at an affordable rate.

Modular Buildings & Homes

Modular buildings can be constructed quickly and more efficiently than site-built structures and at a lower cost. Make your new building or home a reality with an all-metal building designed the way you want and built to last.

Panelized Assembly

We offer panelized assembly if, for any reason, delivery of a cubic modular building may not make the drive to your site. Prefabricated pieces, or panels, are constructed off-site to economize time, costs, and materials. They are then shipped to the building site and erected. Each of our buildings are designed with your vision so we deliver high-quality, every time.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is a turnkey operation?

    A turnkey operation is managed by the same contractor from start to finish. This significantly cuts the costs of your project and ensures that communication remains thorough, eliminating stress for you. Additionally, projects are completed at a much faster rate while maintaining their high quality. 


  • What are the benefits of an all-metal, modular building?

    An all-metal, modular structure is eco-friendly, affordable, and high-quality. The metal framing eliminates termites and resists UV rays and harsh sea air. Modular structures are built in sections that are then shipped to the building site. From there, the modules are assembled by a contractor and the building is completed. Each of our buildings is ready to use because we take care of all the permits, design, construction, and everything in between.  We operate with an allowance-based pricing model, meaning that we will always try to work out the best way to stay within your budget and deliver your new home. 


  • What is allowance-based pricing?

    Allowance-based pricing allows us to design-build a structure within your budget without compromising quality in order to lessen your costs. We do this by meeting your price-value budget and allowing the more expensive building features and materials to be built. By ensuring that your structure features the attributes you want most, we deliver superior craftsmanship that can be remodeled, renovated, or upgraded at any time. 


  • What if I have my own floor plan?

    We encourage you to bring your own floor plan to us! Unlike many contractors, we work with you and invest in your structure. Every design-build building is centered around your specific property and all of our design-build projects begin with our Preliminary Design and Feasibility (PDF) review. 


  • What is a Preliminary Design and Feasibility review?

    We start all of our designs with a PDF review. Here, the feasibility of your design-built new home or building will be determined by what the county or community allows to be built on your property, according to county building codes or neighborhood building standards. Then we assess your property and your proposed building site for its best views, layout, and access for entryways, parking, or garage. 


    We consult you on your schematic designs and drawings and advise you on the preliminary drawings while also consulting with the architects and engineers, minimizing the hours that they would normally charge, ultimately saving time and money. 


    Once schematic drawings are completed, the architects and engineers provide us their lowest quotes to complete full sets of construction plans that are submitted for permit application and for the building permit. When the building permit is issued, delivery and installation of the modular can occur.  


  • How long does it take to have my building completed?

    Each building is unique. Once permits and temporary structures are settled, it can take as little as 3 to 6 months to have your entire building finalized and ready to use, depending on the scope of work and number of modules. By fitting your budget and vision and utilizing our expertise, we deliver on time, on budget, and without surprise costs. We also have referrals for insurance for appliances, air conditioning, and more at no additional cost.
