Today, when hospitals and medical centers need temporary medical facilities quickly, healthcare modular buildings provide the best alternative. Modular medical buildings have made it easier and more affordable for medical providers utilizing modern equipment and other medicinal needs. Patients can experience a pleasant and comfortable environment in a brand new, high quality modular building.

The healthcare modular building can serve as an one stop-solution patients in the treatment of medical needs starting with doctors’ offices, diagnostic centers, intensive care centers, operation theaters, wards for comfortable stay of patients, and more. These buildings are built in sections in an off-site manufacturing plant and can fill the need for an instant medical facility, or additional office for doctors and medical personnel, space for a storage clinic or laboratory. Modular medical buildings are basically put into two categories:

  1. Permanent modular building – The permanent modular building is one that is erected on a foundation wall and is intended to be used like a traditional commercial stick-built building.
  2. Temporary modular building – The temporary modular building is typically used for a project where a permanent building is being constructed and the project will take years to complete, so a temporary building is utilized in the interim.

A permanent modular building or a temporary modular building can both be designed to fit the medical practitioner’s need, such as surgical and medical offices, diagnostic laboratories, dental clinics, radiologists’ offices, etc. These buildings can be customized according to any budget (large or small) and will be aesthetic pleasing and meet all applicable building codes. The temporary modular healthcare building is the fastest possible way to make an extension to an existing facility. Typical examples would be when a hospital seeks a new clinic or other type of medical facility to serve the healthcare needs for growing communities.

Typical specifications seen in these types of buildings are the same as any commercial construction project and some are listed below:

  • The hospital provides an aesthetically pleasing interior and exterior design with ample facilities.
  • MRI and/or x-ray areas have extra flooring for additional weight bearing requirements needed for the medical equipment and steel-lined walls, windows and doors for magnetic shield are all preinstalled.
  • The layout can be customized with all doctor’s offices, scan rooms, laboratories, surgical theaters, nurses station, administrative area and lobby, as needed and required by code.
  • A safe, clean and moisture resistant area throughout along with a fire resistant system, if needed and required by code.

From a business perspective, these healthcare modular buildings are customizable, expandable, and can be installed within as little as 90 days, allowing medical providers to care for patients faster.
