Even though the structure is not permanent, you generally need a building permit to construct a modular building. Your structure still needs to comply with local building codes and zoning regulations. It's essential to check with your local building department to determine the specific requirements for obtaining a building permit for your project.
One of the main advantages of modular construction is that the manufacturing process can take place simultaneously with site preparation, which reduces the project timeline compared to traditional stick-built construction methods. A small, simple modular office building might be completed in as little as 2 to 3 months, while a larger, more complex project could take 6 to 12 months or more.
Modular buildings come in various sizes and configurations to suit different needs and applications. Our modular buildings come in standard sizes of 60 ft. by 24 ft., 64 ft. by 24 ft., 68 ft. by 24 ft., 60 ft. by 36 ft. and custom sizing as needed. We also offer expandable modular office buildings that can easily have sections added or removed as requirements change.
