Installation FAQs
- How do I replace a wall panel in an OmniFlex office?
Simply remove the vinyl base and bend back the floor track, unscrew the OmniFlex stud fasteners, and slide out the panel. Insert the new panel, reattach the studs, reinstall the face plates and floor track, and snap the vinyl base back in place to restore the wall.

- How quickly can PortaFab's modular wall systems be installed?
PortaFab modular wall systems can often be installed in a fraction of the time required for traditional construction. Depending on the size and complexity of the project, installations can typically be completed in just a few days—and Quick-Ship offices can often be installed in as little as a single day. Because the systems arrive pre-engineered and cut to size, installation is clean, efficient, and designed to minimize disruption to your operations.
- Can PortaFab install the system for me? Can I install the system myself?
PortaFab partners with a nationwide network of distributors and contractors who can install the office or building and assist with managing the entire installation process, including permitting and coordination with other trades. For smaller projects like Quick-Ship offices, many customers choose to install the systems themselves. Panels arrive pre-engineered and cut to size, making them easy to assemble with basic tools and minimal disruption.
- Do I need a permit to install a modular office, building or wall system?
Yes, just as with conventional construction, permits are typically required for the construction of any modular office or building. PortaFab’s service team can assist with providing the information needed for local permitting and regulatory compliance.

- Can modular offices be relocated or expanded after installation?
Yes. PortaFab’s non-progressive construction makes it easy to expand, reconfigure, or relocate offices as your facility changes—saving time and money compared to traditional construction.
- Do I need to prepare my facility before installation begins?
Minimal preparation is needed. Ensure the installation area is clear of obstructions, the floor surface is ready for construction, and that adequate overhead clearance is available without interfering pipes or structural elements. Your PortaFab distributor can help identify these requirements during the design and quoting process. For larger projects, distributors may recommend additional site preparation, but most installations can be completed with little disruption.
