How much do modular buildings and portable classrooms cost in Texas?

Prices vary depending on size, design, and whether you’re renting (leasing) or buying. In today’s market, you can expect to purchase a standard-sized, in-stock modular building for as little as $110,000, up to several hundred thousand dollars. You must also factor in architectural design time and fees, permitting, site work, accessibility for people with disabilities, and standard access ways.

For $110,000.00, expect to find something used in good condition with less than 1,000 square feet of office or classroom space. A new, modular building or portable classroom, manufactured to your specific needs, would cost between $130,000.00 and $200,000.00. So, for your budgeting purposes, use a minimum of $125.00 per square foot for used structures and a minimum of $145.00 per square foot for newly manufactured structures.

Remember, Texas requires a building permit for any modular building, portable classroom, or office trailer. You can learn about your requirements and the laws on the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation’s modular buildings page.
