Movable walls and raised floors are the building blocks of our modular office solutions. Through customized integrations of technology, architectural and furniture elements, OE’s modular systems deliver sustainable corporate workplaces that can be occupied quickly, operate efficiently, and change easily as your business evolves.
Technology
Modular interiors feature intelligent technology coupled with exceptional adaptability. The visible parts of the modular workplace rest on raised access floor housing UL-certified distribution systems for electrical, voice, data and building management systems. The pre-wired, plug-and-play infrastructure will support any space plan the initial tenant—or subsequent tenants—might desire, and enables fast, inexpensive layout changes. The floor system also provides an enclosed space for sound masking and air distribution. Additional technology elements include energy-efficient lighting and advanced workspace applications.
Construction
Construction of the modular workplace is a streamlined process compared to normal construction. Because the modular interior is a combination of manufactured products, planning is faster and less costly. Installation can begin as soon as the core building systems are in place. Work in the open space of the cold shell moves quickly and unhindered by dust and waste. “Powering up” for business operation is simple: just make the plug-and-play connections with the floor system. Construction and waste removal costs are reduced. And you can move in faster—with a reliable occupancy date.
Change
The major elements of the modular workplace are designed to support a high degree of dynamic change. Walls, lighting, even entire workspaces can be moved quickly and inexpensively without damaging carpet, ceiling or perimeter walls. And there’s little or no disruption to operations. Departments and individuals can be relocated where they will function best. New technology is easily accommodated. Worker density is readily adjusted. And if you move to a new location, you can easily take your above floor modular assets with you. Accommodating change has never been easier.
Environment
Modular interior solutions support certification under the U.S. Green Building LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) standards. Modular projects produce less construction waste than conventionally constructed build-outs while also reducing air and noise pollution. The technology elements of the modular interior promote energy efficiency. And the architectural elements are highly reusable, as much as 98% reusable in the case of walls. Offering cost savings today through energy efficiency and waste reduction, the modular interior is a desirable hedge against future changes in the workplace.
Total Cost
Modular interiors offer major cost advantages compared to conventional corporate workplaces. By enabling efficient use of floor space, they can reduce total space requirements, thus lowering lease costs. Dramatic lease savings are achievable when the modular approach is employed in unconventional space. Moves, additions and changes are efficient, so operating costs are low and productivity stays high. Modular assets offer high ROI because they’re so adaptable. And since they are classified tangible property, they are eligible for rapid depreciation.
