There are three construction alternatives if you decide to expand your production facilities or storage area:
The advantage of a modular construction is that you can respond quickly to your surface extension needs, and can react better to changes in your business.
But is it more advantageous to buy or rent modular structures? This article will guide you in choosing the most suitable formula for your particular situation:
Many industrial companies are opting for a temporary building as they want a quick and cost-effective solution for their building construction. However when one searches on internet, one quickly realises that there is a multitude of offers, and it is difficult to understand what each one corresponds to.
Whether you want to rent or buy your modular warehouse, you need to define your project according to two factors:
1. The objective of your surface area extension project
2. How long you need it for
How long do you need this new surface area for? :
In the short or long term, the choice of materials that make up the framework, the envelope and the roofing may differ. The advantage of a modular solution is that you can have it built according to the level of robustness and isolation required by your activity.
It is more common to rent than to buy a modular structure. Rental is the best option if you do not know how long you will need a surface area expansion, or if your need is short-term:
Renting also allows you to control fully your expenses and investments in line with changes to your production or storage:
The building can quickly be made available to your company: in general 15 days[1] after contracting a storage marquee and 3 months[1] for a temporary storage building. Unlike traditional constructions, only a few preliminary works are needed before the structure can be erected. This makes it easy to add or remove modular buildings, and to index the rental period to changes in your activity.
At Locabri, you will be supported for the duration of your project, from the design phase to the deployment of your modular structures. Our technical team will analyse your needs and help you to select the structure best suited to your technical, operational and budgetary constraints. |
For a long-term project, a modular building can be an ideal solution for a long-term storage area or production workshop::
In the long run, buying a modular structure can be more profitable than renting. Effectively, a new modular building makes it possible to add value to your equity and to depreciate your new building, whilst being less expensive than a traditional building. The investment is recorded in CAPEX.
Before investing, take into consideration that the installation is only part of the TCO of your project. Below are some additional costs to take into account:
