Portable Classroom Cost Factors
The biggest factor that affects the cost of portable classrooms is their size. Double classroom buildings are more expensive than single classroom buildings. But there are several other aspects to keep in mind as you look at what you can do with your budget.
Customizations
One of the most convenient aspects of modular classrooms is the many custom options that are available. We offer all of our clients a wide range of options for their interior layouts, including bathrooms, offices, storage spaces, conference rooms, and more. They enable your portable classrooms to also be used as administrative, organizational, or meeting spaces. If you choose a long-term lease or purchase your mobile classroom, the customization options become almost limitless.
Furnishings
Finding furnishings for your building can take a lot of time and add unexpected costs to obtaining and operating your facilities. Fortunately, there are furnishing options available through NadlerPlus™ that can make life easier, and more affordable, for you. Our packages include ramps, canopies, Wi-Fi, security features, and more. They can all be part of your leasing or purchase agreement for one easy invoice.
Installation
The cost of installing a portable classroom includes not just the physical placement of the structure but also the preparation of the site, utility connections, and compliance with local building codes. Factors such as the accessibility of the site and the need for foundation work can also affect the installation costs.
