“From our 30 years of experience designing and modernizing school campuses we know the life-cycle cost benefits of site-built structures make them superior to portable building. A quality site-built structure will last over 60 years, while the ability to modernize every 20 years adds to its long-term value. In contrast, the construction material and configuration of a portable building aggravates maintenance and operation cost, resulting in a building which is in need of disposal after only 20 years of service. Now that a quality site-built structure can be constructed for cost similar to that of a portable building the decision is easy. Site-built is clearly the better option.”
