Modular Interior Solutions

Effective Use of Space -- Modular design allows the space to be sub-divided with consistency and in a configuration that includes standard and non-standard sizes will often enable the incorporation of additional workstations and offices.

Flexibility – The walls, furniture and interior components could be disassembled and erected in new configurations as needs change. Components would be re-useable several times over in numerous layouts rather than being stripped out and transported to landfill sites that are already full of construction debris.

Quality of Environment – The working environment is of great importance to employees and modular design can enhance the ability to deliver a higher quality space. As far as future reconfiguration is concerned, the destruction, debris and disruption associated with demolition of conventional construction elements in occupied space would be avoided.

Technology – The arduous and expensive task of running new “home run” power, voice and data cabling from the main board or computer room to each new location through a maze of cluttered ceiling plenums and service ways makes up a significant portion of the cost of reconfiguration. Under a modular design, their practice can be practically eliminated.

Cost Effective – Through implementing a process that fully integrates products in a way that there are savings that offset additional cost, it is possible to be first time cost effective. Furthermore the future cost to the end user/owner of all these construction elements being torn down, disposed of and then rebuilt all over again each time a reconfiguration is undertaken, will be dramatically reduced.
 
Good space planning must consider the integration of all the various construction elements and how they will interact with each other.  It is not sufficient to only consider how they will interact with each other initially; it is also vital to consider what possible combinations may occur in the future.  With any good system however, proper planning will allow the components to be placed together in a variety of ways.
