However, if a company's space needs a change after a Panel Built modular wall system is installed into their facility, the wall system can be easily changed! For example, when adding in a modular office to a new facility, oftentimes the end customer will only require one individual office for a supervisor-like employee. However, as that company grows, additional desks and office space can be required to house additional employees. Instead of getting an entirely new office system, our modular office systems can be uninstalled and have additional wall panels added to them to create an overall bigger modular office space. Or the original office space can have another modular office added to the side of it, creating a whole new modular office room while still making use of the existing office.
Additionally, the modular office walls can be picked up and reassembled in a new location with minimal materials needed to re-assemble the building in a new spot. Or if you order the modular office pre-assembled in as pod-like office, the building can be easily transported throughout your facility with the use of a forklift. The office pods allow for modular office space to be moved from location to location in your facility at a moment's notice.Needing Minimal Job Site Disruption

Another problem modular construction helps to solve is job site disruption. This is an issue seen in any type of construction project that is going to an already occupied area. You can take examples of this from anywhere from a busy city like New York to a warehouse facility. With the majority of the project's fabrication and construction phases occurring away from the actual job site, there is a lot less disruption going on when the structure is actually being installed.
The disruption that you see in a traditional, stick-built construction process takes a variety of different forms from foot traffic, heavy equipment, and material storage. Now modular construction has all of these things too but to a much smaller degree. Plus, with a shorter installation time, the job site will have to deal with the disruption for a smaller amount of time.
Take Panel Built's prefabricated shelters as a good example of this. The majority of the time, these shelters are installed on the side of the road as a public transportation shelter. In this scenario, the location of the bus stop shelter is typically in the on the sidewalk of a frequently traveled street. If the city decides to use traditional, stick-built methods of construction, the job site will have a lot of equipment and workers and will likely have part of the road closed off for an extended period of time. With a prefabricated shelter, the shelter can be lifted off the truck and installed in practically no time. This method saves days of installation and traffic on what is likely going to be a high traffic area.
