How to Customize Your Modular Office for Maximum Productivity
Custom modular offices are prefabricated buildings that allow for rapid on-site installation with fewer operational interruptions compared to traditional on-site office construction. Modular offices are made in a controlled manufacturing facility and meet relevant local, state, and federal regulations. Customizing a modular office system for your specific needs can help your workforce maximize productivity. Here, we will explore the benefits of modular office space and the considerations when selecting custom configurations.
What Is a Modular Office?
A modular office is a type of modular building installed as a permanent or temporary office space for a manufacturing plant or other commercial structure. Prefabricated in a controlled facility, modular office layouts can be one or two stories. The self-supporting walls are constructed from a steel framework and vinyl-coated drywall that resists abrasion and is easy to clean. Insulated walls provide sound control and enhanced energy efficiency. Modular offices are also prewired for simple electrical hookups, and users can select many other options.
Benefits of Modular Office Design
Custom modular office designs can reduce lead times, add workplace flexibility, and streamline the permitting process. Highlighted here are the key benefits:
- Rapid Turnaround: Modular office systems can be completed with faster turnaround times than traditionally constructed offices. Facilities can minimize downtime on the plant floor by choosing modular offices constructed off-site.
- Cost-Effectiveness: A primary appeal of modular office solutions is their cost-saving benefits. For example, modular office buildings can reduce construction labor costs by 60% to 70% compared to conventional construction. Modular offices can also come prefabricated with electrical hookups, HVAC systems, and other critical infrastructure, making installation simple and cost-effective.
- Streamlined Permitting Process: Depending on the location of the construction project, modular office systems can reduce the burden of acquiring building permits. Modular office building manufacturers can engineer the spaces to comply with state codes and prewire electrical and mechanical systems to meet the necessary specifications. A smooth permitting process leads to time and money saved with fewer complications.
- Flexibility: Custom modular office buildings offer ease of installation on shop floors, loading docks, warehouses, and other areas with open space. They are configurable in various sizes and may be modified or moved as necessary. Modular office systems can come prefabricated with roof decking, acoustical grid ceilings, flooring, doors, and windows. They can also be designed with visually appealing elements, including commercial furnishings.
Customizing Your Modular Office
Modular office systems provide a range of customizations to suit different office requirements, improving employee productivity and satisfaction. Custom modular office fabricators offer various options for the following types of office spaces:
- Open areas and cubicles: A combination of open areas and private spaces can facilitate better ergonomics and working environments.
- Conference rooms: Conference rooms come in various sizes to ensure users can accomplish their unique goals. Large conference rooms are ideal for presentations, while small areas can accommodate brainstorming and less formal meetings.
- Break rooms: Modular office systems can provide a designated area for employees to socialize with coworkers, take breaks, and eat.
- Entryways: Accessible entryways are important to the safety of all employees.
Modular office layouts can improve worker productivity in manufacturing and commercial settings. The following considerations can help optimize productivity from a modular office:
- Make sure your chosen modular office layout promotes ideal productivity among employees. A new, designated office for administrative or logistic tasks can inspire employees to get more work done in the space.
- A comfortable, ergonomic office space can improve collaboration, productivity, and a feeling of purpose among employees. A well-designed workspace can increase productivity by up to 20%. Consider elements such as natural lighting, organization, comfortable furniture, climate control, and other conveniences.
