Bridging The Gap: How Prefabricated Construction Is Making High-Quality Spaces Accessible To Everyone

Not so long ago, prefabricated construction was considered an expensive and even indulgent option for companies looking to build or redesign their work spaces. Regardless of the industry - corporate, higher education, health care and more - companies leaned towards the “traditional” path, with limited innovation, flexibility, and sustainability.
Then, COVID-19 pandemic hit. And much like every other area of our lives, it upended all of the traditional ways of working and approaches we had become accustomed to.
With it came pressures of inflation, labor shortages, a massive increase in demand for technological integration and several other demands and burdens, and now, the construction industry has reached a tipping point. With blown budgets, delays and even bankruptcies, one thing is clear: it’s time for things to change.
Enter prefabricated construction - an efficient, predictable way to design and build without the major liabilities and headaches of the traditional construction process.
Any price increases with this approach equate to half (or less) of what you’d see with a more traditional approach. And with prefabricated construction, you aren’t faced with the labor shortages that a typical project would encounter, because labor only equates for a small percentage of the total cost.
And that’s just one piece to consider. The most significant benefits of prefabricated construction lie not just in your beautiful finished space, but in the process itself.
With this approach, which is core to who we are at Verto360, elements of your space are measured and built elsewhere, and then brought to the job site for installation. Here at Verto, we also use a leading-edge software (which actually originated in the gaming industry) to take you on a VR tour of your space before designs are finished and construction starts.
This shift represents a major paradigm change, and in a nutshell, symbolizes the future of construction: faster, more precise, more affordable, and incorporating game-changing technology. Every care holder is engaged throughout the design process, and the process coordinates seamlessly with all on-site partners.
Ultimately, this approach offers you a transparent, engaging process, superior product and prices comparable to conventional construction. And in case you didn’t know, it provides tax benefits, financing options and post-construction advantages, like ease of reconfiguring and modifying your space as your needs change.
Modern, effective work spaces people love, at affordable prices and built in a more seamless, efficient way - isn’t that what we all want?
