Modular Buildings Kansas
If you are located in Wichita, Topeka, Kansas City, Overland Park, Dodge City, or elsewhere in the “Wild West,” and are short on space, modular buildings offer cost-effective temporary and permanent solutions and are a great solution for schools and universities, healthcare facilities, government and military installations, and businesses of all kinds.
Modular Genius, located in Joppa, Maryland, provides a design-to-occupancy turnkey modular solution for every educational space requirement you can imagine. We can also serve as general contractor for architectural renderings to foundations and site preparation to final paving and landscaping.
If your occupancy timeframe and budget won’t permit you to build the conventional way, don’t overlook building modular. Nearly any conceivable design can be achieved – from single-story to multi-story complexes – ranging in size from under 1,000 sq. ft. to more than 100,000 sq. ft., with pre-installed electrical, HVAC, plumbing and fire suppression systems.
Kansas History, Culture & Economy
Spanish explorer Francisco de Coronado arrived in Kansas in 1541 looking for gold. He didn’t find any. In 1682, Frenchman Robert Cavelier de Las Salle arrived and claimed control of the land for France. Throughout the 1700s and early 1800s only a few Europeans visited the region, mostly to trade for furs with the Native American tribes that lived there.
In 1803, the United States purchased Kansas from France as part of the Louisiana Purchase. American explorers Lewis and Clark traveled through the state in 1804 on their way out west and mapped out parts of the territory.
Hundreds of thousands of settlers followed along two of the most popular trails, the Santa Fe Trail and the Oregon Trail. To help keep them safe, the U.S. government set up forts along the trails. Over time, towns grew up around these forts, and many travelers stopped in Kansas to make it their home, primarily because the flat land was ideal for raising cattle.
Kansas joined the Union as the 34th state in 1861. Today, the state’s economy is still driven by agriculture (cattle, sheep, wheat, sorghum, soybeans, cotton, hogs, corn, and salt). Kansas also ranks 8th in the U.S. in petroleum and natural gas production.
How Modular Construction Can Help
Healthcare: From medical and dental clinics to research laboratories to community hospitals, health care organizations in Kansas can enjoy a higher return on investment, reduce costs, accelerate construction timelines, and see more patients with modular healthcare buildings. They can be completely customized to meet your requirements. From digital imaging facilities to office space to testing labs to patient rooms, nothing is too large or difficult. This is the quickest way to expand the footprint of your facility.
Government & Military: Modular Genius supplies modular government buildings to meet the needs of national park visitor centers and ranger stations, community police and sheriff departments, drug enforcement agencies and more. Kansas also has a U.S. military presence which includes McConnell AFB, Fort Leavenworth Army Base and Fort Riley Army Base, and we have completed modular projects for every branch of the U.S. military. We hold a US General Services Administration (GSA) contract, GS-07F-0124W.
Workforce Housing & Man Camps: Modular buildings are ideal for use as man camps, dormitories, bunk houses, and wherever you need flexible, functional living spaces that offer a “home-away-from-home” experience and can be scaled to accommodate from 10 to 5,000 people. Public and private contractors deploy them as temporary living quarters on construction, drilling and mining sites, often in remote locations.
The Modular Construction Process
Modular Genius first completes the planning and engineering stages based on your unique requirements. The components are then built in a factory-controlled environment while preparation (grading, foundation, utilities, paving, landscaping) is taking place at the construction site.
Overall, modular construction is about 40% faster to design and build than conventional construction. In a matter of just a few months, modules are transported to the building site and connected in sections, like building blocks. They are approximately 90% complete at this point, and have been engineered so that stairwells, power lines, water lines, HVAC, and other systems are in place when they leave the factory. Once the modules are connected, they are ready for interior and exterior finishing work.
