The ability to relocate a modular building
is the basis for our entire industry. It is so much more than just
the ability to physically move structures. A house mover can relocate
your residence, but will the building be structurally the same after the
move? Think about the stress that is applied to the framing members
in the walls, ceiling and floor. Site-built facilities were not engineered
to be relocated. Yes, it can be done, but the structural intergity
of the building suffers.
Modular buildings are designed and engineered
to be relocated. The floor, roof and walls are constructed to withstand
the rigors of transportation. You might think that we just build
rigid boxes, but actually modular buildings are constructed with engineered
tolerances for movement. The concept is the same for a tree.
Trees can withstand high winds because the limbs can move. The ability
to be flexible allows a modular building to withstand the stresses of relocation.
