When changes in your business create
new demands for in-plant space
utilization, PortaFab modular inplant
offices and enclosures give you
unlimited flexibility to respond quickly
and cost effectively.
As a leader in the design and
construction of modular office
systems, PortaFab features the most
extensive selection of interchangeable
wall panels, stud choices, and
accessories in the industry. This broad
line allows us to more effectively
design offices or enclosures to meet
your specific requirements and budget.
1. Pre-Engineered
No need to incur the costs of an architect or engineer, because our buildings
are pre-engineered. Each office contains complete CAD drawings and details,
installation instructions and a bill of materials. If you should require engineering
calculations and sealed drawings, PortaFab can also supply them for your
project. Our buildings can be designed to meet most building codes.
2. Ease of Coordination
Standard construction requires the need for contractors and sub-contractors,
which increase the number of trades involved. Coordinating and scheduling of
these multiple contractors takes more of your time.
With a PortaFab modular building, one phone call covers everything. We
supply a pre-engineered office through a qualified factory distributor, who can
handle the installation - or help your maintenance people do the job. You
don't have to spend your valuable time away from your own job. PortaFab
can handle the entire construction project for you.
3. Appearance
With standard pre-fabricated components, PortaFab can ensure a consistent,
high quality appearance with every installation. Each system integrates with
the others to provide a clean and professional look. The nature of
conventional construction with multiple contractors and materials does not
allow for such consistent quality control.
4. Speedy Installation
A standard 12 x 16 inplant office can be assembled in less than one day,
compared to standard construction, which can take several weeks - especially
when dealing with design permits or multiple contractors. Plant disruptions are
reduced to a minimum, eliminating costly reductions in productivity often
caused by the distractions of construction. The cost savings are significant.
5. No Mess
With PortaFab's pre-engineered panels there is no need to seal off areas to
protect against dust and the mess associated with paint, mortar, spackle,
tape, etc. Plus, you are not faced with detailed cleaning of equipment
afterwards. Eliminating these related costs means very substantial savings for
modular construction.
6. Low Maintenance
PortaFab wall panels feature a mar-resistant vinyl coating or extra durable steel
surfaces that maintain their attractive appearance for years. There will be no
need for the constant painting and repair associated with standard drywall
construction. Also, while conventional construction can warp because of high
humidity levels or moisture, PortaFab modular walls can be designed to
withstand variations in environmental conditions. So, whether you are using
your enclosure in a manufacturing facility or office environment, the walls will
perform for many years, with no deterioration.
7. Durability
Industrial plant offices built using the conventional method utilize wood or
metal studs and painted drywall, leaving an empty cavity that can be easily
damaged or punctured. PortaFab panels fill that void and feature durable vinyl
or metal surfaces laminated to an insulating core. This solid, reinforced wall
construction resists damage from direct impact.
8. Adaptability
The greatest demand on business today is the ability to react to change -
rapid growth, downsizing, or new directions. With modular buildings, if
additional space is needed, or the original configuration is not as practical as
planned, space layouts can be modified to meet the changing needs.
PortaFab wall panels, doors, and window panels are all interchangeable. If you
know you need a window where a solid panel stands, it can be quickly
exchanged with a window panel without disturbing adjacent panels or the
ceiling - with our nonprogressive systems.
You can add a second story, attach a mezzanine, or expand laterally. Your
design options are almost endless.
9. Better Sound Resistance
Just putting up four walls won't solve the need for a quiet place to work -
especially in plants with loud machinery or forklift traffic. An office built of
standard construction is useless if it is not designed properly to reduce
contaminating noise levels.
PortaFab Fire & Sound panels provide a logical solution to noise control. In the
design of our modular buildings we evaluate all connections and openings to
ensure the building will meet your specifications for effective sound control.
10. Accelerated Depreciation
Most tax laws allow very favorable depreciation rules on all PortaFab inplant
offices and modular buildings. Our products typically qualify for a seven year
depreciation period while conventional construction often requires over 30
years. Please check with your tax advisor.
