The Benefits of United Partition and Modular Buildings
- Modular Buildings & Modular office construction offers greater durability. Standard construction uses drywall and studs, leaving hollow cavities that can be punctured easily.
- Faster Construction Time so you can get back to work. A standard small in-plant office or group of modular offices can be assembled and ready to go in just days. With conventional construction that time can be weeks.
- Relocate and Reuse the Wall Systems. One major advantage is the ability
to take the structure down and relocate it. This feature benefits the
small firm that leases because the systems will always remain their
asset. When it is time to move, the offices can go with them. This feature
also benefits the larger company. Should their needs change, so can
the original project.
- Redesign to Adapt to New Needs. Companies grow, needs change and so
can the modular building. Whether you need more space or need to change
your current office configuration, you are not locked into your original
design.
- Fewer Facility Disruptions that can cause expensive loss of productivity. All construction (even modular) causes plant disruption. However, the longer it takes to complete a project, the more disruption you have. A serious evaluation of costs would include this often overlooked expense. Most people are amazed how fast these add up.
DEPRECIATION
In general by definition, the product is considered equipment and depreciates accordingly, allowing a company to completely write off the expenditure over 5 times faster than typical construction.
- Maximum corporate tax is 39.6%.
Modular Construction qualifies for 7 years depreciation, yearly write off is 14.3% (1/7 project cost) - Construction depreciation is 39 years, yearly write off is 2.6% (1/39)
- After 7 years a prefabricated modular structure is completely written off, while only 17.9% of conventional can be written off.
*As a footnote, it is recommended that companies discuss the matter with their CPA's to determine if their particular situation would qualify for this method.
Here are just a few of the reasons why companies have switched to United Partition Systems:

- STC sound rating which surpasses most other pre-engineered building systems.
- Class A noncombustible construction for the lowest possible insurance rates.
- One, Two and Three wall applications.
- Fast and easy installation, fire retardant, and demountable.
- Sound absorbing capabilities.
- Full compliment of field services necessary for implementation of complete systems.
- U.L. Approved electrical raceways.
