Mobile Office vs. Modular Office

Traditional office space has historically been the most used form of construction. This form can cause downtime and unnecessary waste in the construction area. While it does have its place, mobile and modular offices offer many benefits that quickly adapt to specific needs in different ways. We will explore some of the advantages of mobile and modular offices and why they are an excellent option for businesses looking for adaptability, efficiency, and sustainability.



Mobility


Modular offices are ideal for long-term applications even though they are relocatable based on the wall panel system. Think of it as putting together industrial legos to expand and move the office space as your company grows, but have the option to keep it the same long term. Panel Built's modular offices stand the test of time by utilizing high-quality materials and efficient designs. While mobile offices can still be built using high-quality materials, they are best for short-term use and are purpose-built. Their design prioritizes mobility, which allows them to be moved with ease with the help of a forklift or wheels that are added. These make great options for when flexibility is needed, and your spatial needs are subject to change.



Construction Process

The construction process for modular offices starts in the factory, where components are custom-built for the project and shipped out to be assembled onsite. Panel Built can consistently engineer high-quality products by utilizing our controlled factory environment, and assembling the parts onsite allows for a quick and seamless installation with minimal downtime and waste. Manufacturing in the factory reduces the margin of error during installation by working out any problems that may occur before shipping the product out, which saves time and money. Mobile offices go through a slightly different process and are fully manufactured and assembled in the factory setting. Then from there they are shipped out in its completed form to the desired site. This method allows for a quick setup and provides a space ready to use upon delivery.


Features and Benefits

Modular offices are customizable and are designed for long-term use based on your needs. Modular offices can feature a personalized layout that offers functionality and aesthetic features that align with your company brand and imaging. By utilizing modular offices, you can double the amount of usable inplant office space or customize wall materials for increased sound dampening, insulation, and/or fire resistance. They are also equipped with an electrical package that includes light switches, duplex outlets, LED lighting, etc. Mobile offices resemble a trailer-like structure and offer a more basic design with less room to customize, as they are typically known more for their portability and functionality as a quick and easy setup. While it generally is the case that this option always comes standard, Panel Built allows for more customization and can provide more than a basic mobile design to provide the solution that makes sense for your business.
