Provide Reliable Quotes to Customers with Prefabricated
Garages
Modular buildings have benefited the construction industry in a variety of
ways. It is easy to construct modular buildings partially in the factory, which
reduces installation times. Using modular and prefabricated buildings
simplifies the design and makes it easier to save money on materials costs.
When you purchase thousands of the exact same products, the cost is generally
reduced.
When it comes to prefabricated garages, some construction
companies may be hesitant to implement the buildings. Companies may feel like a
prefabricated building simply cannot withstand the tough rigors of a garage
constructed on site. However, most prefabricated garage buildings can offer the
same strength and longevity as traditional garage systems.
Not only that, but construction companies can have the
confidence to set a fixed cost for the entire project from day one. Customers
hate it when construction contractors come back mid-project and raise the costs
of construction. This undermines the effectiveness of your brand and also
upsets customers. With the use of prefabricated materials and garages, you can
identity the total costs in your initial price quote. This will help you and
your customers have better relations throughout the construction process.
You may also be surprised at how varied the garage designs
in a prefabricated structure can be. Your customers may be hesitant to try a
modular design because they want something that stands out from the rest of the
garages in the area. Most modular garage designs have a range of customization
options that can suit the needs of any customer at an affordable price.
If you own a construction business, don’t underestimate the
power and benefits of modular garages!
Prefabricated Garages
Prefabricated garages are an efficient and cost-effective construction
method to build a garage addition as a stand alone structure, or
attached to an already existing building. For residential and smaller
size prefabricated garages, kits are available from manufacturers. The
garage kits come with everything required for the construction of the
garage and are able to be constructed in a short amount of time by a
person with little to no construction experience.
Prefabricated garages can be used on a semi-permanent or long term temporary basis, but will typically not last as long as a traditionally constructed building will. Larger garages are types of industrial shelters which can be used for machinery and transportation equipment. Other garages can be used for the storage of electronic equipment, tools, chemical materials, or oils and fuels. Residential garages may be constructed for vehicles, recreational equipment and recreational space or personal storage. Prefabricated buildings such as garages or storage buildings are typically easier to get a building permit for, if one is required at all. In some cases, a building license may not be required for a prefab shelter, although it is always important to check this with local regulations.
As prefabricated garages are typically standard designs with very simple layouts, there will be few problems in terms of assembly concerning the building plans and materials. Standard prefabricated buildings have been constructed numerous times and therefore are typically reliable structures. As the popularity of prefabricated building has increased, so has the quality of the finished products. Commonly used materials for prefab garages include aluminum, steel, concrete, plastic and textiles and wood. A typical garage will consist of a metal frame to provide a strong and durable base to the structure and sidewall sheeting that will vary depending on the intended use of the garage space. The exterior of the garage can be further customized by the use of colors and trims, as well as by the addition of windows if desired. As these buildings are intended for use outside, they will need to be able to withstand a wide range of temperatures and harsh weather conditions. Furthermore, typical garages come with a wooden floor and are able to bear the weight of vehicles, therefore allowing for a wide variety of uses for prefabricated garage space. As these buildings are almost fully constructed in a factory, they are typically ready for use on the same day as installation which removes a lot of stress from the process of building a structure.
