Has your Richmond school or business run out of space? Or maybe your team has been sent to the desert, the mountains, or some other far-off place. Can you build the space you need in time? Can you afford it? Now may be the time to research how new and used modular buildings for sale nationwide could get your operations up and running in short order without costing a fortune.
Whether your needs are temporary or permanent, build faster with a modular building. They can be built according to your specifications and ready for delivery and installation far sooner than their site-built equivalent.
A traditional construction project may take 12 months but can be completed in 6 months (or even less) using modular construction, depending on your requirements. Other advantages include:
- Modular construction trims costs by 20% to 40% and shortens the construction timeline by at least 40%.
- Building materials are more carefully monitored and better protected compared to traditional construction on an exposed jobsite – another cost-reduction factor.
- Because modular construction is eco-friendly, you may find that your municipality offers tax and marketing incentives for building modular, such as expedited permit processes (which can take 18 months or longer for conventional buildings).
- If you move or need to reconfigure your space for any reason, a modular building can be disassembled and reassembled in new configurations and locations.
- Modular buildings can compete in the same Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) categories as stick-built structures.
- Built of steel, concrete and wood, just like stick-built buildings, modular buildings are designed to last for many decades.

Modular Building Applications
Today’s modular buildings bear no resemblance to those simple construction office trailers you have seen everywhere. Instead, you will find innovative modular designs and aesthetics in every industry, including education, healthcare, administration, hospitality and retail.
Education – As population shifts occur, school enrollments ebb and flow. This makes space planning a challenge. In addition, school districts are typically expected to keep operations as lean as possible to avoid straining city budgets. Virginia’s Culpeper County School Board has consequently used modular classrooms to accommodate an overflow of students as cost-effectively as possible.
Remote oilfield offices – Portable office buildings have been a boon to companies working in remote oilfields in the Permian Basin, Eagle Ford Shale, Fayetteville Shale, Elk City, OK, Houston, TX and other production sites. The modular structures allow for portable offices equipped with restrooms, secure and insulated moisture-controlled storage buildings, and a variety of other applications.
Affordable housing solutions – When you need to build affordable homes on challenging acreage without breaking the bank, consider the advantages of modular construction. The town of Acton, MA, constructed multi-family modular buildings on land with significant slopes and a high water table. The project was awarded a LEED for Homes Gold rating and an Award of Distinction from the Modular Building Institute.
There are new and used modular buildings for sale in and around the Richmond area that will provide a beautiful, high-quality solution for every imaginable purpose.
