Modular Barracks for Today's Military

When it comes to military housing and facilities, you may think of standard, open spaced living quarters with few amenities. To provide a high quality, customized and welcoming living environment, army facilities are looking away from traditional construction and going towards modular building. There are many benefits of modular construction including shorter construction timelines and earlier occupancy, with a bit more design flexibility.

Often times the Army, Coast Guard and other armed forces have to immediately relocate to a certain location and set up temporary space for on-site personnel. This may include a command center, barracks or offices.  For this purpose, the military is now moving towards modular construction.

Prefabricated buildings can be delivered and occupied 30-50 percent faster than traditional construction. The time saving benefits of modular construction is particularly beneficial to the military allowing personnel to move in, set up forces and complete their tasks much faster.

Modular buildings can also be relocated to the next location, if needed. Modular barracks are designed, constructed and nearly complete before leaving the factory. Finishing touches such as connecting utilities are done on-site before the buildings are ready for occupancy. Modular construction helps make military life a little easier for all service members.
