A great Used Modular Classroom For Sale

This article was updated today May 18, 2016. If you represent a public or private school, church or daycare program and are searching for a used modular classroom to buy or rent - your timing is very good no matter what part of the U.S. you are in. Why? Because there are an abundance of 24' x 40' and 24' x 60' used modular classrooms available through suppliers and other schools and churches who no longer need the space. This increase in supply is happening because suppliers experienced years of manufacturing, selling and renting tens of thousands of modular classrooms and now many of them are no longer needed by the original customers.

How to Plan for a Modular Building or Portable Classroom in Massachusetts

How to plan for a Modular Building in Massachusetts 

When I get a call from a facility manager or purchasing agent in Massachusetts who is in need of a modular building or portable classroom much of the conversation involves logistics - or in other words where, how and when to deliver and install the structure. Here are a few common points that seem to help quite a bit before the modular building is purchased or leased anywhere in the U.S. or abroad.

1. Select a location on your business or school property that is fairly level and can easily be accessed by delivery trucks for the modular. Don't forget that if you are renting the modular it will eventually need to be removed so be careful not to block it in with obstacles. Removal can get costly!

5 Questions To Answer Before Buying a Prefabricated Modular Daycare Building

Top 5 Questions for Buying a Prefabricated Modular Building

When young families start moving into a new housing community the demand for local daycare services increases immediately – especially if both parents work and a full time nanny (or grandparent) is not an option. This is why a prefabricated modular building and a portable classroom are used by daycare center operators throughout the United States as a fast and effective way to provide safe and secure learning spaces where and when demand peaks.

If you manage a daycare business and are considering using a prefabricated modular building to open a new location or expand into a growing community there are 5 top level questions that need to be answered before you agree to buy or rent a modular. These questions are:

1. Design – what is the ideal floor plan for your new childcare center? Consider everything from the amount of occupants you want to accommodate to what your licensing requirements are. Have a good idea of the exterior finishes, interior finishes, layout, window and door locations and technology needs.

2. Property – do you have an available location that will accommodate the amount of square footage you need and the infrastructure to support the new center? What needs to be accomplished in order to make the property ready for opening the center?

3. Permits and Licensing – what local building and safety requirements will need to be met in order to obtain permits and have permission to open your center? What state and federal licensing will you need to obtain before opening the new center?

4. Schedule – when do you need to be open for business? Using a prefab modular can be rapid when compared to conventional construction but the suppliers do need time to complete the job correctly and on time. Rushed schedules typically create problems in any construction environment.

5. Budget – what can you afford and what is the best method of paying for the project? For example, do you need to buy or lease the property? Are you open to financing the prefab building? Can you afford to pay for all of the one-time property development, utility, delivery and installation costs? *This page will help you get budgetary numbers for a prefab modular daycare center.
