Outside of residential construction, these industries are most likely poised to leverage prefabricated modular construction for scalability.We frequently write here about how the housing industry is greatly benefiting from offsite construction, specifically prefabricated modular construction. With rapid urbanization, affordability and quick construction, these prefab housing structures are becoming more and more popular with developers and homebuyers. But, they aren’t the only ones that see the benefits. In fact, there are a myriad of industries that can benefit — even, fuel future growth — with the help of the fast, affordable, quality modular construction. Here, we’re taking a look at the top industries that can benefit the most and why. 1) Medical and emergency relief organizationsWhether it’s quick, emergency housing for victims of a natural disaster or buildings to administer emergency care, prefabricated modular construction can be a real asset for emergency relief organizations. Because this industry has to move so quickly (often with tight budgets), modular buildings are an ideal choice to quickly and affordably construct temporary housing or medical facilities. Also, modular construction is known for its quality and durability, a key factor for units needed to withstand tough conditions or heavy use. Check out these manufacturers leading the way in offsite construction for medical and emergency relief: 2) Education sectorAs populations grow, local schools have to follow suit. But, with budgets tight across the country, building new wings and adding classrooms can be difficult, if not near impossible. In fact, a 2016 State of Our Schools Report released by the U.S. Green Building Council found that the United States is under-investing in school buildings to the tune of $46 billion each year. With a 2020 report finding more than half of U.S. schools in need of major repairs, high-quality prefabricated modular construction buildings could also be a safer option for students to learn and grow, too. Some leaders in prefab offsite construction for educational facilities: 3) HospitalityPrefabricated modular construction is a natural fit for the hospitality sector in its repetitive, scalable processes. Hotels with a small number of room types — meaning most of the building consists of repetitive pieces — can drastically speed up construction timelines (by several months) and streamline supply chains. And, since mods are built off site, groundwork prep and the building of unique amenity spaces can start simultaneously with module building, also accelerating time to market. In addition to efficiencies, modular hotels benefit from the quality control that prefabricated building allows. Not only does this ensure consistent quality from room to room, but hospitality brands with large and/or rapidly expanding portfolios can ensure standardization across properties. Additionally, the modular format separates each room with its own steel frame, providing better soundproofing than site-built hotel rooms that share walls, floors, and ceilings. Here are some examples of innovative offsite construction manufacturers to watch in the hospitality industry: 4) Data centersData center real estate is another industry that is taking prefabricated modular construction and customizing it to meet its unique needs. Unlike traditional brick-and-mortar designs, these prefabricated modular data centers (also known as integrated modular solutions or containerized data centers) are being engineered with security, cooling, power backup and more built right in for total turn-key solutions. Check out these leading manufacturers in prefab offsite construction for data centers: 5) WarehousingWith the global warehousing and storage market expected to grow by $387.49 billion between 2022-2026, this industry is also going to benefit from prefabricated modular construction to fuel its growth. Built quickly, expertly, on-budget, and to the exact specifications you need — from specific storage racks to cooling systems and size — these prefab warehouse buildings are quickly becoming the preferred choice. These prefab offsite construction manufacturers are leading the way for warehousing: Whatever industry, Stream Modular is here to move itWhether you’re moving new classrooms to a school district, offices to a hospital, or data centers to your campus, we’re here to handle the transportation logistics of your Mods, Pods or Panels We are happy to talk about your transportation needs and how we can make them happen — just send us a note.
