Companies and universities are turning to modular laboratories as a cheaper alternative to traditional builds. Prefab research buildings have been around for quite some time and can be built to specification. The lower cost makes sense whether the need is for a temporary vivarium facility or a public health triage facility. These can come complete with interiors chosen before they are built and ready painted so that the biomedical research staff can start to work right away.Once the price has been agreed upon, the next step is to get financing for the project. Of course, one would think that this would be difficult for a turnkey laboratory but this is completely wrong. Lending institutions are far more likely to give a loan for this style of build than for a conventional build. The reason is that the quality of the workmanship is so high that they see little risk with their outlay.
Once all this has been settled, the manufacturer will proceed in building the modules so that it can be delivered to the site. There is time to get foundations laid and other utilities sorted out so that when the dwelling arrives, contractors can put it up very quickly. It is amazing how short a time is needed to bolt this building together and people are often working in the research facility within days of it being delivered.
Because of the quality of the components used, the savings on energy usage can be quite substantial. This in turn brings down the cost of the facility making even more attractive. Who wouldn’t want to invest and work in a 'green' facility that saves money and has little impact on the environment?
Because of the flexibility surrounding this kind of build, it is possible to relocate it in the future if needed. This makes it the ideal choice for companies and universities who may see expansion in their future. Prefab research buildings are a great business investment.
