One of the misconceptions about manufactured buildings (also known as modular buildings or prefabricated buildings) is that they are not as strong as permanent structures. Certainly there are some cases in which this is true, but to say that prefabricated building systems are by nature weaker or less resilient than permanent structures is a misrepresentation. In some cases, building systems are better suited to harsh or stressful applications than are permanent structures. Consider the following. After Hurricane Andrew Continue reading →

Steel buildings dot the American industrial and commercial landscape from coast to coast. Many industrial and commercial professionals prefer the use of steel buildings for their warehouses, factories, storage buildings and for many other applications.

If you were to stand in front of a home somewhere in suburban America, it may or may not be immediately clear whether or not that home was constructed on site. It’s easier to identify some modular and prefabricated buildings than others. It’s entirely possible that a modular home and a non-modular home could sit right next to each other in a neighborhood and no one would ever be able to tell the difference. However, this is not the case with all modular buildings. Particularly in the case of relocatable buildings, evidence of Continue reading →
