Making modular homes and portable storage buildings made out of the same materials are a great way to not only create buildings such as school portable buildings or portable temporary buildings for churches, but an ideal way to repurpose old shipping containers and stop the excess of waste that they often generate. Modular homes are becoming more and more popular in communities all across the United States for their ease and affordability.

For one, modular homes and portable storage buildings made out of the same materials can be constructed in as little as two weeks when constructed in a factory setting. This is compared to a traditional brick and mortar building, which can take as long as six months to fully build, if not even longer (depending on things like weather delays). In fact, modular homes can be constructed an estimated forty percent faster than a traditional brick and mortar structure an even have less risk of time and cost consuming damages occurring while in the building process. These portable buildings are often nearly completed at a factory site and then moved to their permanent (or even temporary location) for the final construction.

This is ideal in particular for school portable buildings, as it dramatically reduces the cost that would otherwise have been accrued with traditional brick and mortar construction methods. In fact, a school portable building can be as much as seventy seven percent less expensive than traditionally constructed building, meaning that schools can better budget for school portable buildings and allocate the unused money to other aspects of the school. School portable buildings are also ideal because they are ready quickly which, in combination with shifting rates of enrollment, may be vital to the continued ability of the school to provide access to education to all of its students. As a modular building such as a school portable building can be delivered in as little as twelve weeks, depending on the size and overall cost of the building itself, it’s a reasonable, viable option for those schools who have seen a recent influx of students for whatever reason.

Portable storage buildings have become an option for many sites of church construction as well. with more and more churches over ten thousand total members expanding to multiple sites of worship, portable buildings can be the stop gap until the final church building is ready, providing those moving to the new site with a place to worship that is their space alone and does not need to be shared with any other part of the community that they worship in. With more and more people attending church (now at least twenty percent of all Americans attend church services regularly), more than one hundred and fifty million people in the United States are unchurched, meaning that they don’t have a place specific to worship. Modular buildings can help to create more permanent housing for these church members.

With more and more people requiring portable storage buildings, be they school portable storage buildings or temporary sites of worship while a new church building is constructed, modular buildings have become the future of temporary portable storage buildings. They are relatively inexpensive to construct because they are constructed in a factory setting and are ready for the initial construction at the site that they are intended for much more rapidly than it would be had traditional methods of brick and mortar construction been utilized. Modular homes are also becoming more and more popular, providing inexpensive and affordable housing and portable storage buildings for many communities where many people would otherwise struggle to remain in reliable housing due to financial reasons.
