Disassembling Modular Buildings – Relocations & Returns

Our temporary buildings are often relocated to alternate customer sites to meet fluctuating space needs.  For example, a school district may relocate a modular classroom from one school to another based on increased enrollment at a particular location.  At the end of the lease term, temporary buildings are often returned.  Both relocations and returns require the building to de disassembled before it can be transported.  Here are the steps involved in dismantling a building.

  • Inside the building ceiling tiles, bolts, t-grid connectors, plumbing and wires are disconnected.
  • Outside the building utility lines and electrical lines are disconnected and the skirting and steps/ramps are removed.
  • Two or more units linked together are dismantled/separated at the mate line. 
  • Shipping walls are added to units that have been attached through mate lines. 
  • Units are separated from each other with equipment such as a crane, forklift, roller or translift.
  • Axles, tires and the hitch are connected to the module to prepare for transport. 
  • Each module is wrapped in plastic to protect it from weather or other damage.
  • Modules are picked up and delivered to their next location.

We have been dismantling and relocating buildings for 10 years.  Each project is handled by industry experts and is completed in a timely manner with little disruption to the end user.
