No, modular warehouses can be assembled and disassembled very quickly. They are installed on the customer's site without disrupting activity.

As an indication, 1,000 m² of modular buildings in the RFX range, the Modular Reflex, can be installed in less than a week.

 

Understanding Demountable Modular Buildings

Demountable modular buildings are prefabricated structures that can be easily assembled and disassembled. They are often used for temporary or semi-permanent needs, such as offices, classrooms, storage spaces, or even emergency housing. Their main feature is their flexibility and quick installation.

 

Steps to Install a Demountable Building

Step 1: Site Preparation

Before starting the installation, it's important to prepare the site. This includes leveling the ground, setting up temporary or permanent foundations, and checking service connections (water, electricity, etc.). The duration of this step can vary depending on the complexity of the site.

 

Step 2: Delivery of Modules

The prefabricated modules are delivered to the site. This step is usually quick but can be influenced by the distance between the manufacturing site and the installation site of the modular building.

 

Step 3: Assembly of Modules

Once on-site, the modules are assembled according to the construction plan. This is often the quickest step, as the modules are designed to fit together easily. Specialized teams can assemble several modules in a single day.

 

Step 4: Connections and Finishing

After assembly, the public service connections are made. Interior and exterior finishes, such as painting, flooring installation, and interior fittings, are also completed at this stage.

 

Step 5: Final Inspection

A final inspection is conducted to ensure everything meets safety standards and client requirements. Once the inspection is passed, the building is ready for use.

 

3 Factors Influencing Installation Time

The more complex the project, the longer the installation will take. Simple modular buildings can be installed in a few days, while more complex structures may take several weeks.

Weather conditions can also affect installation time. For example, freezing conditions or heavy rain can delay work.

Finally, local regulations and necessary permits can also affect installation time. It’s important to comply with all legal requirements to avoid unnecessary delays.

 

Demountable modular buildings are generally quick to install, with durations ranging from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the complexity of the project and specific site conditions. Their flexibility and quick installation make them an ideal solution for temporary or urgent needs. If you’re considering using demountable modular buildings, it’s essential to plan well and consider the various factors that can influence installation time.
