Learn how to be a smart modular classroom customer.

Shopping online to rent or buy a modular classroom is much like shopping for a car - there are many advertisements that follow you around from web page to social media and back. In some cases these advertisements are set up by companies with no experience in designing, selling or installing modular classrooms yet they want to connect you with companies that can help you. It's the middle man model and it can waste a lot of your time and money. The difference between these services and calling me can save you a bundle of time and, in many cases help you become the ideal client for a modular classroom supplier - and this puts you in the driver's seat as a buyer.

Why me? Well let's just say that I'm a "life time member" of the modular building business and have learned what works and what doesn't for literally every type of modular classroom project. Sharing this information with school facility managers, church administrators and daycare operators is now what I do for a living and it's rewarding to see happy modular building customers.

When you call the Modular Building Hotline (800) 806-7485 you are taking the first step to learning what you need to know before you set up a budget and begin any contract with a modular building supplier. Once we connect I will guide you through these important questions:

1. How to calculate the amount of space you need.
2. How to select the ideal site to install your modular classroom.
3. What you need to know about obtaining a permit for a modular classroom.
4. Whether to rent or purchase a modular classroom.
5. If a new modular building or used modular is best for your school or church space need.
6. How to optimize your buying power and shop for the best supplier and best price.

Give me a call...I'm here to help you "piece" together your modular classroom project!

What happens when your site isn't good for a portable classroom?

I publish a few blogs about various types of modular buildings, portable classroom and other prefabricated structures. Let's just say that I like to keep people informed and "happy" when they buy any type of modular building. So, in order to share some red flags people should look for before buying or renting a used portable classroom I wrote a post earlier today on the www.Buyausedmodularbuilding.com blog. See what you think and be sure to share the article if you think it can help anyone who is considering using a portable classroom for their school or church.

Schools Sell and Donate Their Portable Modular Classrooms

Portable Modular Classrooms for Sale or Donation

This time of the year I seem to get several calls from school districts in the U.S. that want to get rid of perfectly good used portable modular classrooms. Why? So they can either move new modular classroom trailers in or they recently completed construction and no longer need the temporary portables currently on site.

For example, today I received a call from a contractor who is responsible for removing twenty-four 24' x 40' modular classrooms from a school campus in Riverside County, California and all they want is $2,000 each plus the cost of removal. A few days ago I took another call from a large church in Georgia that has a 36' x 60' modular classroom to remove- for next to nothing.

In some cases a school district or church will simply donate their modular buildings to another organization in need of space - this leaves only the costs for removal, transportation and set up. What a deal. In many other instances the portables can be purchased for a very affordable price.

Used Portable Office Buildings for Sale - Great for Office Space

Used Portable Office

Easy and affordable- Used Portable Office Space

Used portable office buildings are for sale in every state and the price to buy one can be surprising- especially in comparison to building an office or paying to rent existing space. This is why thousands of businesses search for portable or "modular" buildings and classrooms each month and many of them end up finding the perfect space in a previously used portable office.

If you are considering a portable building for your business you are not alone. Here are the top reasons why businesses typically buy used portable buildings:

1. Additional space is needed to accommodate employees during construction or remodeling.
2. Business expansion or downsizing.
3. Special projects that require temporary employees for an extended period of time.
4. Remote project space is needed for contract work away from the home office.

So what will a used portable office building cost to buy? This is the big question and it varies based on the size, year and features the portable was built with. For example, a simple 24'x40' portable classroom that has air conditioning, heat, tile or carpet floor with a nice exterior finish, doors and windows can cost anywhere from $15,000.00 for an older model to a late model costing as much as $30,000.00. This adds up to an approximate range of $15.00 to $30.00 per square foot not including delivery, installation and a handicap ramp or steps.

The best way to find a used portable building at a low price is to try and request prices and floor plans from multiple local suppliers that have available inventory.

Modular Buildings San Diego

Check out these great Modular Buildings in San Diego!

In San Diego and most of Southern California the price for 24'x40' and 24'x60' modular buildings and portable DSA approved classrooms have been dropping for the past five years due to an abundance of used modular buildings in supplier's inventories. School districts have either been removing or replacing DSA classrooms and offering them for sale directly or through dealers that don't want them sitting in their storage lots.

Here are a few tips if you are in the market to buy or rent a used modular building or classroom:

1. Have a place to install the modular structure. A level piece f property with easy access is best. Make sure you have power, water and plumbing available.

2. Make sure you can get the required permits. Start with your local building and safety department. Permits are not costly but they can take a bit of time to obtain.

3. Use a helpful tool to get modular building prices and floor plans from quality suppliers in San Diego or any other city. Try iModular.com's free pricing tool. It takes a few minutes to complete online and suppliers will typically contact you the same day.
