Permanent Modular Construction
Triumph Modular Is A Leader In The Modular Building Construction Space
Permanent modular construction is an alternative construction method that largely takes place off-site instead of on-site. Sometimes called “Off-Site” construction, we build “Volumetric” building blocks to near completion with flooring, walls, ceilings, lighting, and systems. We manufacture everything indoors under controlled conditions and transport it to the site once completed. Modular buildings can be single or multi-story, steel and/or concrete structures with nearly limitless customization options.
Why Permanent Modular?
In most cases, modular construction provides a viable alternative to traditional construction. Quality has increased significantly over the years, and advances in the industry mean that modular buildings are often just as aesthetically pleasing as their traditional counterparts. We’ve seen success with permanent modular in several industries, including: Medical, Government, Construction, Education, and more.
Modular construction is most effective when design changes are kept to a minimum. The main advantage of this approach is the speed at which a project can be completed and prepared for occupancy. However, frequent changes during the construction process can significantly hinder progress. For complex projects that require numerous adjustments while being built, modular construction may not be the best choice. Permanent modular is also beneficial in situations where limited site disruption matters. When business needs to continue without the hindrance of impactful site work, permanent modular thrives.
Permanent Modular Costs
Cost is always an important factor in purchasing decisions, and permanent modular is no exception. There are two key factors related to permanent modular construction that influence the overall cost:
Site work cost considerations can further be divided into several categories depending on the project.
These include:
Permits , lot preparation, foundation, utilities and connections, water drainage, hardscaping and landscaping.
Building cost starts with the type of building you need. Typical projects will cost less, while more complex buildings will cost more.
From there, we work through the big four:
Electrical, HVAC, plumbing and fire protection
Finally, there’s the level of finishing and materials used—both of these can add or take away from the cost, depending on what you choose.
