The world of work, as we all know, has altered drastically over recent years. The COVID-19 pandemic helped usher in the era of the ‘hybrid office’, whereby some workers base themselves at home or in other locations away from their organisation’s premises, while others commute to their employer’s offices in the more ‘traditional’ fashion.
In still more recent times than that, we have encountered all the pressures of the cost-of-living crisis, including escalating energy, materials, and staffing costs for businesses – and that’s before one reckons with the climate crisis, which remains as serious as it has ever been.
On such a backdrop, how could embracing modular commercial buildings for your own business make a difference to its survival and growth prospects? Let’s take a look.
Modular buildings are highly relevant to the changed needs of businesses and workers
In an era in which you can’t count on your personnel always being centred in the same physical space, modular commercial buildings offer an opportunity to embed flexibility into your approach to the sourcing and formulation of office space.
Modular structures can be quickly constructed, and there is a lot of scope to alter the shape, size and layout of such a structure, as and when it might be needed. Buildings using modular construction can even be physically removed or transferred to another location, in response to the latest needs.
At a time when so much is uncertain, with possibly little scope to predict what your business’s needs might be even in six months or a year’s time, such flexibility can be a considerable boon to everyone involved with your company.

Modular buildings can help you minimise your expenditure
Investing in the construction of a whole new office will always be a considerable financial commitment. However, it doesn’t have to be as intimidating from a costs perspective as you might think.
Modular commercial buildings are typically more cost-effective to build than structures fabricated using more traditional methods. This might be particularly relevant to your organisation if you are a start-up business, or even simply wish to grow your business at a time of economic uncertainty, when budgets might already be stretched.
Here at MPH Building Systems, we can further help your business be responsible with its expenditure through the sales and rental options we make available.
Modular buildings can help us better protect our planet
In 2022, the climate crisis is far from a mere abstract concept. It is here, with us, and sustainability is a standard watchword for responsible businesses – not just a ‘buzzword’.
The matter of minimising one’s carbon footprint can be closely linked to the imperative to reduce costs – for example, we achieve both here at MPH Buildings Systems through our practice of only using the bare minimum resources needed for fabricating and installing our modular commercial buildings.
Our construction process is energy-efficient, and we minimise vehicle movements to further support sustainability. It helps, too, that the buildings themselves can be so straightforwardly repurposed and reused.
Far from the ‘death of the office’ that was once predicted in some circles, the world is instead reimagining the office – what it is for, how it is used, and what it can be – for the 2020s.
