In-plant Offices

In-plant offices are versatile and sturdy modular buildings that can be used to incorporate additional workspace near your facility or plant without causing operational downtime or sacrificing aesthetics. These prefabricated structures can be used for offices, security buildings, break rooms, machine enclosures, and much more. At Speed Space, our in-plant units offer unlimited flexibility and can be customized to meet your specific needs. Our prefab buildings often ship in as little as three to four weeks and can be easily installed without disrupting your operations.

In-Plant Offices Overview

A modular in-plant office is a prefabricated office built from panels that can be installed within an existing manufacturing facility, factory, or warehouse. They are suitable for creating additional work areas, storage areas, shipping offices, observation rooms for supervisors, break rooms, and more.

One of the primary benefits of in-plant offices is their easy installation. Compared to traditional construction that can take weeks or months, prefabricated in-plant offices can be installed in as little as one day with minimal disruptions to your business operations. Additionally, since these structures are anchored to the floor and come with a drop-in ceiling, they don’t require building permits.

In-plant offices from Speed Space can be completely customized to your needs. They come in numerous sizes and configurations, allowing you to select the option that best suits your workspace. Other customizable features include electrical outlets, HVAC systems, and the number of doors and windows. This level of flexibility enables you to create an office space tailored to your specific requirements without compromising design or functionality.

The Benefits of In-plant Offices

Modular in-plant offices offer a wide range of benefits, including:

• Enhanced productivity and communications — These buildings allow companies to more easily bring workers together. For example, some companies use modular structures to move engineers and operations employees closer to manufacturing areas in order to allow for enhanced collaboration and team building.
• Cost savings — Modular buildings eliminate the need for costly renovations, as are often required by traditional construction methods, so operations can continue as normal. Also, because prices are set from the very beginning of the process, there’s no possibility of surprise costs down the line, as is often the case with structures built from the ground up.
• Great flexibility — Modular construction can be used to satisfy many different needs in a range of industries and applications; if a space needs to be expanded, renovated, relocated, or even minimized, features can be reconfigured rather than completely rebuilding the space.
• Increased workplace efficiency — Modular buildings are often installed in order to bring teams closer together and allow managers to better monitor workers and provide helpful feedback, thereby enhancing overall employee productivity.
• Enhanced safety — Better employee supervision also means increased safety, as managers can more easily watch over employees, processes, and facilities as a whole.
• Sound and environmental control — In some applications and facilities, noise control or isolation is essential for shielding workers from dangerously loud equipment or ensuring the comfort of the surrounding vicinity. Environmental control is also simplified, as modular rooms and laboratories can be quickly built to effectively regulate temperature and humidity while providing protection against harsh weather and other severe conditions.
• Quick installation — Because in-plant offices and buildings are prefabricated in controlled environments, installation can be completed quickly and efficiently — generally in approximately four to six weeks from the time of initial approval. This, in turn, minimizes downtime, which maximizes savings.
• Capital savings — In-plant structures are classified as equipment under tax laws, allowing for accelerated depreciation and significant capital savings.
