Today's commercial prefabricated structures are economical, efficient, and environmentally friendly. Compared with traditional construction, prefabricated buildings cost less because a factory does up to 90% of the building before it ever reaches your site. Time is money, so getting your building up and running quickly is of utmost importance.
Pricing and costs of prefabricated buildings vary considerably based on size, materials, and features. It's free and just makes sense to get several quotes. Of course, the building itself isn't your only expense. Delivery costs can range from a very small amount such as $1.50 per mile to several hundred dollars. Costs of planning, construction, assembly, and connection to utilities must also be part of your budget.
Know what you need as you're getting quotes. There are many options in shape, size, and configuration in prefabricated structures, but these three are the most common choices:
1. Prefabricated steel buildings - your best bet when you need to enclose a large space
2. Modular buildings - for flexibility and more traditional appearance
3. Mobile offices - when you need a simple small space
