Where should we install our modular classroom?

Installing a modular classroom on your church campus is relatively easy if you have available space and easy access to move the delivery trucks in and out during the initial phase of installation. Things get tricky when space is not available or a desirable area is blocked by another structure or important feature (parking spaces for example) of your campus facility plan.

Here are some helpful tips if you are planning to install a modular classroom or modular office on your church facility campus:

1. Know your campus! Be sure to have a facility plan that you can review with the modular classroom installer. This plan should show your existing campus, parking, driveways, location of existing structures, utility locations, any landscaping that can not be removed, and property lines.

2. Must haves. Know exactly what you can not work without such as parking spaces, driveways, walking paths, and existing trees or other plants that can not be removed or replaced.

Why Churches Use Modular Buildings

Like many public schools Churches often are in need of additional classroom space due to a surprising increase in enrollment or an emergency situation. In either case a modular building (or two) can typically solve the problem and provide a comfortable short or long term solution for students, teachers and even members of the congregation. As an added benefit the modular building suppliers are always able to respond quickly to any space need and in most cases can deliver and install modular building space within a few weeks of the initial order being placed. It's a match made in Heaven!

What Size Modular Building Should We Use?

We get calls and emails from churches asking us what size modular buildings and portable classrooms are best for church facilities. Depending upon the amount of people that need to occupy a structure the answers can range from smaller 24' x 40' (960 square feet) units to very large 72' x 60' (4,320 square feet) units. Here are the most commonly used modular building sizes for churches and private schools in the United States:

Typical modular church building.

24 'x 40'
24' x 60'
36' x 60'
48' x 60'


Floor plans and finishes are all options that can be selected with the help of a local modular building and portable classroom supplier. If you need any assistance contact your local suppliers by completing our supplier contact form.

Churches Use Modular Buildings in July

This week iModular.com received price requests from churches, schools and  daycare centers in California, Texas, Ohio, Oregon and Florida each looking for floor plans and prices to rent either a modular building or prefab classroom trailer. As a result the people using the site saved time and money on what would normally take several phone calls and a lot of repeating the same questions.

"Our Parish used iModular.com on two occasions to find a modular classroom trailer and a large office trailer during a renovation and new construction project this summer. We were very happy with the time and money we saved" stated Janet Morrison.

The iModular.com price request tool is quick and easy to complete and it sends a person's price request to local modular building and mobile office trailer suppliers who quickly call back with prices, floor plans and answers about anything modular. Here's a link to the iModular free price form.

iModular.com has been online since 1998...so they must be doing good things.

My Church Uses Modular Buildings

All types of membership organizations and places of worship need space to operate their organization and meet with members. It seems as if modular buildings - sometimes referred to as prefabricated buildings or trailers - are one reliable solution for new churches or those that have outgrown their current facilities. I've seen several types of modular buildings being used for everything from church meeting areas to daycare and classrooms and they seem to be pretty nice.

I hope this helps if you are searching for space for your church.

Plan Your Modular Church Space

Here are a few tips if you are going to rent or buy a modular building for your church or school. Keep an open mind while reading these as modular buildings are designed for flexibility and if you can be flexible with your needs you may just save a lot of time and money.

1. Know your space needs. Yes, know exactly how many offices, windows, doors and bathrooms you need before you start shopping and be clear with your sales person about what are "must haves".

2. Be flexible. If you can live with not getting exactly hat your space needs call for you will most likely save money and time. Modular building dealers in your area will have available floor plans in many sizes and configurations and if you can choose an existing plan your price will be far better than paying for costly modifications. Moving doors and walls adds up.

3. Do the math. Once you have pricing from local suppliers see if it makes more sense to buy the modular building or lease it. In many cases modular buildings stay on site far longer than the original timeline called for. If you think you may be able to reuse or relocate the modular.....buying may be the best option.

If this information sounds helpful feel free to use our price quote form on iModular.com. It is the quickest way to get the best price for a modular building from a supplier in your city.
