The Benefits Of Modular Medical Office Buildings

As doctors strive harder and harder to make a profit in this economy,, modular medical office buildings are becoming more affordable. Not familiar with them? We'll discuss them here. For now, you need to know that a modular office is simply one that is assembled off site of inexpensive materials such as steel, in individual units. These units are then transported to the job site and put together to form an inexpensive and durable office space for the medical practice. The benefits are many:

  • Quality

  • Value

  • Functionality

  • Speed of Construction

All of these are reasons that physicians, medical administrators, and non-profit providers increasingly turn to modular medical office buildings for hospital, clinic, diagnostic, and administrative space needs. Whether you plan to increase the footprint of an existing medical facility; add administrative offices or storage space; build a new, state-of-the art service facility; or accommodate a successful medical practice, these modular buildings offer high-quality, cost-effective, eye-catching solutions.

Quality

Modular office buildings are not what they used to be. Modular construction processes are now second to none. Modular construction design and beauty is remarkable. Most important, modular construction is invisible; no one will know that your office space is anything other than beautiful!

In fact, the construction technology used to build today's modular buildings is the most advanced in the construction trade. This is because more than 60% (and as much as 90%) of construction occurs in the factory, under expert supervision, adhering to quality standards.

Value

Medical modular buildings provide clients with exceptional value. Control over 60% of the construction process allows for cost savings of 25-50% (over standard construction). Additionally, the nature of modular construction turns standard construction timelines upside down. Modular construction allows off- and on-site construction to occur simultaneously which saves 25-50% of the time needed for standard construction. This saves time and money while providing superior quality equals exceptional value. The modular process maximizes every dollar and every minute invested in your new building.

 

Functionality

More space sounds great…unless it adds to your overhead without increasing productivity. More, truly functional space IS great! Space that is custom designed to serve your needs, increase patient comfort, and improve staff productivity saves you time and money. The better modular buildings offer a superior design team that is well versed in functional, modular construction for medical service and care facilities. Possible uses include state-of-the-art:

• Medical Centers

• Hospital additions

• Emergency rooms

• Ambulatory units

• Surgical units

• Acute care facilities

• Physician offices

Speed of Construction

Time is money! When you save time, you save money…so long as you receive both the expected and the required quality needed. Modular medical office buildings save you time. Site work like construction preparation, laying foundations, and installing utilities goes on simultaneously while your building undergoes construction at the factory. This inherently saves time and reduces construction costs. But…consider YOUR time and your productivity. Off-site assembly of your prefabricated units allows for far less disruption at your workplace during construction. Condensed construction time means your new facility—your increased revenue source—is up and available for occupancy faster.

Extra Value

There are ways to get extra value, as well. For instance, if a new modular building is too expensive, consider buying one used. You can often find them on classified-ad websites or Internet auction sites.

All of these and more are good reasons that you should consider modular medical office buildings. If your medical practice is just starting or simply looking for an inexpensive way to expand, the modular approach might be right for you.
