Inplant Offices
An inplant office is a modular structure that turns a section of your warehouse floor into a multi-functional office space. They’re reusable, relocatable, and expandable as your office needs evolve.
The Basics of Inplant Offices
An inplant office is a modular structure you place on top of an existing concrete slab within your facility. Here, prefabricated, insulated, and vinyl-covered gypsum panels create the bulk of the structure. Additional components include doors, windows, and electrical equipment like panels, breakers, and junction boxes for added functionality, among others.
Prefabricated
Inplant offices come pre-designed and engineered with detailed plans for installation and setup.
Fully Customizable
Choose from virtually unlimited design and layout possibilities thanks to free-standing wall components.
Quick Installation
With modular construction, walls go up quickly. And you only need a few tools to properly finish an installation.
An inplant office is an excellent addition to any warehouse floor, especially when compared to conventional construction. When unexpected changes hit your business and your space needs change, the modular nature of prefabricated inplant structures will give your team the flexibility they need to move the office to a different location without the cost of traditional construction.
You can relocate or expand your building with ease. Whether you want to add a second story, attach a mezzanine, or expand laterally, the design options are endless.
Prefabricated structures are as tough as or even tougher than their traditionally constructed counterparts. Inplant office walls are engineered for years of use, even in the most demanding industrial environments. They’re a long-term solution to inplant space needs that offers the adaptability you need to keep up with the changing demands of your warehouse space.
Accessories for Inplant Offices
While the basic prefabricated walls make up the bulk of the structure, modular construction means your inplant office design options are endless. You can add dozens of accessories to deliver extra functionality to an inplant office space. Let’s explore some of the most common options.
Electrical Options
With electrical equipment like panels, breakers, and junction boxes, you can power up your office space for all kinds of uses.
Sound Dampening
Warehouse floors can get noisy. With sound dampening, an inplant office can become a quiet spot where team members can focus on their work.
Climate Control
From cleanrooms to laboratories, adding environmental controls can regulate temperatures and humidity while protecting against harsh weather.
Flooring, Windows, and Others
If you’re using your inplant structure for office space, the addition of windows and other components can make the space feel more like an office and less like a warehouse floor.
