3 Reasons to Get 3 Prices for a Portable Building

Portable Building Prices

Get Portable Building Prices from varied suppliers 

Portable modular building prices vary from supplier to supplier in the United States and many factors come into play when a price to rent or buy has been requested by a potential customer like you. Unfortunately it is very common for someone shopping for a portable to get only one price before a decision is made - this is a huge mistake if saving money is an important goal for your business.

Here are my top 3 reasons for spending some time and shopping for at least 3 price quotes from your local portable building suppliers:

1. Competition is healthy! Suppliers are familiar with competing to win an order so let them do so. Find at least three local suppliers and send your request to each of them. Be clear that you are shopping and comparing for portable building prices and watch the competition begin. You can send your portable building price request to local suppliers by clicking here.

How Long Does It Take to Install a Modular Building?

How long does modular construction take?

One of the most common questions we get in the modular building construction industry is about the time it takes to deliver and install a used modular building or portable classroom. Understandably so - when most people looking for temporary space usually need it in a hurry.

Depending upon the size and scope of work and assuming that a supplier has the floor plan available for sale or rent, a modular building construction can take one day, one week, one month or longer. For example, a standard 24'x60' modular classroom can be delivered and installed in one day if the resources are available and the site is ready and close to the supplier. A much larger 60'x60' prefab structure consists of more pieces (or "sections" as we call them in the business) - this amounts to more transportation time, more labor and more materials for close up. All of which can command a week long installation schedule.

Using a modular building is far quicker and more convenient than finding real estate or building more space on your property...just keep the following items in mind if you choose prefab:

1. Be sure you have permits first.Visit your local building and safety department for details.
2. More space requires more time for the supplier to prepare, deliver and install.
3. Weather can delay installation for hours or days.
4. A level site with easy access is ideal for quick installation.
5. Utilities need to be ready for connection by licensed contractors.
6. Setting up a handicap ramp and stairs for access will require additional labor and time on site.
7. The set up contractor will need to close up the building at the roof, end walls and floor. This involves connecting electrical, mechanical ducting, hanging ceiling tiles, seeming carpet and wall finish materials and clean up.
8. Furnishings - always add time to the schedule for furniture delivery and set up. This is often overlooked.
