How this layout works
- One classroom of about 816 sq ft with 29 student desks shown
- Teacher workroom and a storage room at the right end
- 18′ ADA ramp with a 5’x5′ landing at the main entry and a rear exit with steps
Like every iModular.com plan, this one follows a few rules: wall-mount HVAC units sit on the end wall, one per module, and that wall has no windows; toilets and sinks are on exterior walls, which keeps plumbing runs short and costs down; restrooms have no windows. Also, every layout can change. For example, we can move walls, doors and fixtures before the factory builds a new building, and a contractor can often remodel a used one after delivery.

Delivery and site setup
A 24’x40′ portable classroom comes as 2 modules, each 12’x40′. Each module ships on its own truck, so delivery takes 2 truckloads. First, the crew sets the modules on the foundation. Then they join them along the marriage lines (the dashed lines on the plan) and finish the seams inside and out. Foundation options include steel piers with tie-downs or a perimeter foundation (compare foundation systems). Finally, the crew adds the ADA ramp and landing (ramp slope and landing rules).
As a result, the site work for this building usually comes down to a level pad, a foundation, utility hookups and access. Also, ask your city or county early, because local permits often set the schedule.
Approvals where you are
In short, the building is the same everywhere. Instead, what changes is the state program that approves it and how your city or county permits the site work. For example, in California the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) approves commercial modular buildings, while the Division of the State Architect (DSA) approves public school classrooms (California prices and guides). In Texas, the TDLR Industrialized Housing and Buildings program covers them (Texas guide). Similarly, Florida uses the DBPR manufactured buildings program (Florida guide). Either way, iModular.com brokers modular buildings nationwide. Read how permits work for modular buildings.
