Solving Your Space Problems with SmartSpace Buildings
This blog contains content specific to our BOXX Modular branches in British Columbia, and was formerly featured on our Britco website. As of 6/19/2024, the Britco brand has been fully integrated under the BOXX Modular name.
You've got expansion plans, but your current space just doesn't cut it. Plus, traditional building projects can be lengthy, expensive, and require a significant footprint, often leaving you feeling like you’re between a rock and a hard place.
But what if there was a solution?
Enter SmartSpace from BOXX Modular. SmartSpace buildings are a type of modular structure that is cost-effective and has a smaller footprint than traditional modular options. Let’s explore the features of a SmartSpace building and how you can use these features in your business.
What is SmartSpace?
SmartSpace buildings can be stacked up to three units high, so you have the flexibility to create the work area you need. They’re perfect for in-plant manufacturing offices, downtown construction sites, or anywhere you need a scalable modular office solution.
Our adaptable SmartSpace buildings are ready for use as soon as they’re delivered, so you can focus on what’s important—your business.
SmartSpace Building Materials
SmartSpace buildings are constructed with high-quality materials, such as robust all-steel framing and roofs, complemented by insulated steel sandwich panels for versatile layout and customization options in door and window designs.
With movable wall sections and durable vinyl composite flooring, these portable office buildings are not just about strength; they're also designed for comfort and functionality. Each unit is fully equipped with efficient electrical systems and energy-saving lighting. To ensure year-round comfort, they also feature PTAC units for heating and air conditioning.
Benefits of SmartSpace Buildings
Simply put, you can configure, construct, connect, and you’re ready to go, even in an area with a tight footprint. SmartSpace buildings are stackable and allow you to build vertically and horizontally to make the most of your property, which is especially key if you’re building in a city center where space is at a premium. The detachable walls, floors, and roofs also make it easy to lay out the building according to your business’s needs.
You can use an add-on furniture package in your SmartSpace design to help speed up your timeline and start using your building sooner. Options include office furniture, interior and exterior furnishings, and appliances for your team’s convenience and comfort.
What Industries Are Using SmartSpace?
One benefit of SmartSpace is that it isn’t tailored to one specific industry. You might be surprised at how many industries can use SmartSpace.
Government
With a large staff, tight budgets, and often confidential project requirements, government projects require dependable solutions to help finish projects on time and on budget. Modular is valuable since it offers quick execution and saves time, which is money.
SmartSpace buildings can be used for a variety of government buildings like:
Engineering/Project Management Offices
Training Facilities
Locker Rooms
Break Rooms
Security offices
Waiting Rooms
Gallery Spaces
Offices
SmartSpace buildings are made with high-quality materials and can withstand heavy traffic. So whether it’s renovations, expansions, or temporary additions, SmartSpace can fulfill the majority of your needs.
Construction
With the construction boom extending in 2024, having temporary buildings that are flexible and high-quality on construction sites is more important than ever. Between booking more jobs and hiring more workers to get the jobs done, you need safe spaces for them to work in. SmartSpace buildings can be scaled up or down, depending on the job size, and can be moved to different locations.
On a construction site, you need several different workspaces including:
Administrative Offices
Subcontractor Offices
Break Rooms/ Lunchrooms
Since construction is necessary in both urban and remote areas, having a building that can be transported to any location and configured exactly as you need it is an advantage. It can extend your service area and give you new bid opportunities for more business.
Emergency Response
Modular buildings are essential after an emergency or natural disaster. They’re an affordable solution to help ease confusion and trauma after an unexpected event.
For example in the summer of 2021, an unprecedented heat wave hit British Columbia caused by a heat dome settling over the area. Since not everyone had air conditioning in their homes and the heat was causing dangerous health issues, officials provided relief by opening temporary cooling centers.
Modular is a perfect choice in this type of situation since it’s cost-effective and can be deployed immediately. SmartSpace buildings can also be used as:
Administrative offices for government, emergency services, etc.
Food and laundry areas
Utility offices
First aid centers
With the potential of Canada’s power grids being at risk from extreme weather, having an emergency response plan using modular buildings can help speed up recovery efforts and stabilize communities.
