Multi-story office buildings, mobile office centers, site offices. More and more office structures are being built with modular prefabricated modules. Therefore, not only small temporary modules to follow the work on a construction site; prefabricated offices have long been a viable alternative, with characteristics in terms of durability and versatility that have nothing to envy to masonry structures.
How many types of prefabricated offices are there?
There are as many prefabs for office use as there are types of offices that may be needed.
Let’s start with the simplest examples, such as single or modular office modules for use by the site manager or construction manager and where documents and plans are stored.
Real prefabricated mobile offices easily placed at the beginning and removable eventually but also (and this is an element of no less importance) reusable over and over again. But this is only the basis; on the construction sites of major works or large infrastructures very often prefabricated offices are needed to house, perhaps on a fixed basis, a large number of employees. In this as in other cases it is therefore possible to build structures that are developed not only in width but also in height, reaching up to two or three floors with internal or external stairs to connect the various levels. There can then be prefabricated offices for industrial areas, side by side, leaning against or even inside warehouses and capable of housing staff permanently. They are often used in newly built areas or to supplement and augment existing offices. Or even, as in the case of posts inside warehouses and factories, to obtain fixed spaces from which it is possible to interact and have control over the production area.
But basically, can you say that a prefabricated office is a module with a desk?
No, and for a very simple reason: it is a workplace.
And like all workplaces, prefabricated offices also have to be built and have to comply with very stringent specific standards, both with regard to surfaces, glazed areas or lighting and with regard to plant engineering and thermal insulation (according to former Law 10, for the Containment of Energy Consumption, and Safety in the Workplace).
Then with reference to the structural part, all the prefab offices are made of steel and covered with polyurethane or mineral wool insulation panels of various thicknesses (depending on the characteristics of the target area and the desired degree of insulation). Normally they are then supplied with a powerful heating and cooling system, so as to ensure, in every season, the highest degree of comfort. Finally, depending on the customer’s characteristics and requirements, each prefabricated office can be customized and finished to combine practicality and aesthetics. Among the various finishing options are insulating panels covered with plastic laminate materials, suspended ceilings with recessed lighting, soundproofing panels, glazing of various types and sizes, and floor plans of various different materials. Should you then also need furniture, no problem. In fact, it is possible to have the prefabs for office use already complete with everything you may need (desks, chairs, shelves, cabinets, meeting rooms, etc.) to be immediately operational with a turnkey product.
What if offices are needed for a limited period?
Nothing could be easier!
Whenever there is a temporary need for prefabricated offices (for the duration of a construction site or, for example, for additional space requirements) you can take advantage of the rental of prefabricated office space to have them available immediately. Also with the rental you can customize the structure to suit your needs and requirements, you can have all the furniture you need to be immediately operational, and you can move it around to follow the progress of work on a large construction site, for example.
What’s more, the advantages of renting prefabricated offices are not only practical and time-consuming but also economic: in fact, all fees will be totally and immediately tax-deductible, resulting in large tax savings.
