Modular construction is a smart choice for creating two-story inplant office space within industrial or warehouse environments. Its efficiency, cost-effectiveness, flexibility, and sustainability make it an attractive option for businesses looking to optimize their workspace and enhance productivity.
PortaFab offers two options for creating two-story buildings.

#1. Load-Bearing Modular Buildings
With PortaFab's load-bearing wall systems, you can literally increase your office space out of thin air without adding costly support columns or mezzanines. Color-coordinated panels, studs, doors, and trim bring a professional "front office" finish to all of these buildings.

#2. Two-Story Modular Mezzanine Offices
While typically less cost-effective than option one, there are many applications in which integrating PortaFab's modular building systems with structural mezzanines makes sense. Our in-house design team or local distributors can assist you in determining the best option for your application.
