On June 25th 2025, in collaboration with Open Folk, we presented our first ever live interview event in Los Angeles. As Open Folk put it: "In These Lines is a live event where three artists each bring one song — not just to perform, but to explore. They sit down with Sofia Loporcaro, host of Before The Chorus, to talk about where the song came from, what it meant to write it, and what it still holds. Then they play it. Just the song, and the truth behind it."

Although natural disasters are not a daily occurrence for everyone, an event such as a hurricane, tornado, earthquake, or fire is a situation that it’s important to be prepared for. MPA Systems modular construction by BOXX Modular is set up to quickly and efficiently provide secure buildings in the event of a disaster. Host Tyler Kern spoke with David Strong, Branch Manager at MPA Systems, about the unique use-case of their modular buildings during disaster recovery. As a fifty-year-old company, MPA Systems has a plethora of experience in its pocket and now designs, builds, and delivers modular financial institutions, “…to lease, to sell, as well as our product offering in the disaster recovery environment,” said Strong. MPA Systems focuses on building financial institutions which can be delivered and set up in less than 72 hours throughout the United States. Strong noted, “all financial institutions are required to have some sort of disaster recovery plan or business continuity plan.” While this can include an advertisement for another branch nearby, the financial institutions must offer an environment for their customers to continue to operate. “What we offer for that is we have an annual program, similar to insurance, but they pay us an annual fee that in case they have a natural disaster…we get them a building with all the equipment up and running in less than 72 hours,” Strong explained. These buildings are unconventional from typical modular frames. They are designed specifically with financial institutions in mind and often include a bullet-resistant teller window, a deal drawer, a night depository, and a receiving safe. All of which allow for walk-in and drive-through customers. Given the lack of functional utilities in disaster zones, MPA Systems also offers a power generator, computers, and satellite connectivity. Strong emphasized, “So, it’s truly a deliver on-site plug and play.”…

A Walk Through The Modular Building Process 45:15

A potential Vanguard Modular customer may know they need a modular building but not what the process will entail. When Vanguard constructs a modular building, it runs through these steps in the construction process: design and engineering, permitting, manufacturing, delivery, set, seam and utility connections, power up and turn on water, installation of decks, steps, ramps and other elements, the final punch list, and final occupancy. Vanguard has a history of success not only in modular buildings, said Jody Werner, the company’s Senior Vice President of Sales, but also in guiding clients through those processes. “You can have experience based on years, but you also have to experience based on knowing what the right things are to do through the process, the right steps to take, and communicating things to the customer to make sure there are no surprises,” Werner said. “The other thing is they want to know they’re entering into an agreement with a company that has the financial wherewithal to see the project through. That’s very important in today’s day and age.” During all steps, communication is key, said Paul Lubertine, Director of Construction & Contract Services . “I think one of the strengths Vanguard brings to the table is great communication throughout the process. Obviously on the front end, on the sales side, there’s lots of communication, but once it gets handed over to our ops team, that communication continues,” he said. “We want to keep our customers informed and let them know what they need to do. “Communication is key through the process, and our teams are very experienced in delivering successful outcomes to projects.”…

Creating Winning Relationships Through Cooperative Purchasing 17:06

Cooperative purchasing provides seamless purchasing and consistency for the relationship between Vanguard Modular Building Systems and its customers. Chris Brown, an Area Sales Manager at Vanguard , popped by Build Modular to discuss this solution for financing modular projects. “Cooperative purchasing is a procurement system,” Brown said. “It’s where a lead agency advertises for bids, awards a master contract to the vendor and for the prices to be extended to the registered members of the cooperative, and then notifies the members of the contract awarded. The registered members then contract directly with the vendor for their own needs subject to the specifications of the master contract.” So, if cooperative purchasing provides cost savings and reduces the hassle of the “go-it-alone” bid process, how does one become a member of such a cooperative? “Joining a cooperative is very easy for membership,” Brown said. “Most of the cooperatives, all you have to do is fill out a one-page application. There are no fees and no downside. It’s a simple as sign up and begin ordering.” Any public entity can become a member of counting organizations, such as municipalities, public and charter schools, colleges and universities, nonprofits, and governmental agencies. Many cooperatives are available, but one commonality they share is eliminating the need for businesses to go through the lengthy bidding process, which is the ultimate win.…

Did You Know This About Modular Construction? 22:24

۵ years پیش22:24

A lack of information about today’s modular buildings can lead to a lot of confusion, misconceptions and missed opportunities regarding a sustainable, cost-effective solution. Vanguard Modular’s Senior Vice President of Marketing Services, Mark Meyers, joined the Built Modular podcast to dispel myths and provide answers that people should know when it comes to modular construction. While many people might think the typical way of obtaining temporary modular construction is to lease a building, Meyers noted many custom and permanent modular building projects are purchased. An even lesser-known, but viable option for people is “lease to own.” “This option is a fantastic way to reduce the amount of initial capital that needs to be put out for a project and still end up owning the building,” Meyers said. What about costs for the various options for a typical new modular building project? The base leasing price ranges from $1-$1.50 per square foot per month. This pricing does not include delivery, on-site assembly or project completion tear-down costs. “Customized modular projects tend to be purchases,” Meyers said. Those ranges can vary depending on the myriad factors of the design needs. Meyers provided a ballpark purchase price range between $100-$300 per square foot, not including delivery and installation. Meyers said modular construction shares many similarities with traditional building processes. However, unlike conventional construction projects, modular buildings are built in sections off-site and delivered to the site destination and then assembled. And one of the things Vanguard Modular does is keep track of each state’s building codes and regulations. “All of those calculations are carefully put together and engineered in the design of the building to ensure that the structure does meet those codes before those buildings are moved out from the manufacturing facility and installed on the site,” Meyers said.…

Built Modular: Cost Drivers in Modular Building Systems 19:03

۵ years پیش19:03

19:03

An August 2019 report from the commercial construction index showed the modular construction industry doubling its growth over the past five years. Now an $8-billion industry, modular construction is experiencing even more growth with the onset of the pandemic, with the need for health centers to build quick and efficient solutions for emergency treatment facilities and other solutions growing. What considerations drive the costs associated with these projects, and how do businesses strategize around these costs? Paul Lubertine, Director of Construction & Contract Services for Vanguard Modular Building Systems , provided his insights. Many of the project inquiries Lubertine said Vanguard’s recently received have been COVID-19-related, including educational systems trying to plan out various overflow and social-distancing scenarios. “We are getting orders, putting in units, and doing projects now for schools, but it’s early in the process,” Lubertine said. While education, commercial and industrial office space, and healthcare are industries doing a lot of business with modular construction these days, the cost factors vary. “Building use, equipment and utilities required to run the equipment within those buildings determine the cost differences of a project,” Lubertine said. “The cost drivers that affect a project primarily are building size, its application—whether it’s a typical office, or a classroom, or a laboratory, or a medical facility. Building specifications will impact the cost. But these costs can be controlled through offsite design and manufacturing.” Looking at all of the cost variables, Lubertine pinpointed a building site’s location and condition as the one that loomed the largest over a project. “Each site is different and has its own set of challenges,” Lubertine said. Topography, building placement (is it freestanding or connected to another building), and access to utilities all possess varying cost implications.…

Built Modular: Modular Classroom Buildings Customized for the Varying Needs and Size Requirements of Schools 14:58

۵ years پیش14:58

14:58

The saying, “one size does not fit all” certainly applies to today’s school classroom needs, where many factors go into consideration in designing the building. Flexibility, affordability, and ease of construction make modular buildings a perfect fit for schools looking to expand capabilities or just trying to get the ideal classroom size that meets their budget requirements. Jody Werner, Sr. VP of Sales for Vanguard Modular Building Systems, LLC , provided insights into the factors that determine school classroom building sizes. “One of the trends we see now, due to space, is people starting to go vertical with the classrooms,” Werner said. “They’re adding a story.” But what determines the classroom size? Werner said it depends on many different factors. The type of school (private, charter, public, higher-ed) plays a role in class size needs, as do varying state regulations and requirements. “At a Montessori school, for example, you have to have 40 square feet of space per child versus 20 square feet per child for a public school,” Werner said. How much available space does a school has to use on the property is another factor in building decisions. If a school requires a small classroom, Werner said it could be built and installed much faster than a larger class. But if larger is needed to get the job done, Vanguard’s modular solutions still provide a quiet and controlled environment. While schools can opt for a standard modular classroom build, customization is available. “Normally, a building comes with an eight-foot ceiling. A lot of times, you’ll have a customer that wants a nine-foot ceiling,” Werner said. “Some rooms require lab space, and you need fume hoods and exhaust systems in there. But, really, it’s about the material used in the building.” The Vanguard sales team works with customers to guide them through the process of getting the exact classroom to meet their needs.…

Built Modular: Modular Construction for Temporary Building Needs 38:41

۵ years پیش38:41

38:41

Peter Eberle, President & CEO, Vanguard Modular Building Systems , kicked off the first Built Modular episode with his take on the flexible and affordable solutions modular construction brings to temporary and permanent building projects. The nature of prefabricated, modular construction allows for factory assembly without dealing with nature’s elements. This process allows development to happen quicker and less expensively, an attractive option for many building projects’ needs. Among many efficiencies Eberle said modular construction could bring to a project, from less material waste to quicker construction time in a controlled environment, is safety. “When you’re building in the factory, it’s single-story, so you’re not putting a tremendous number of workers three, four or five stories in the air or higher,” he said. “Everything is plug-and-play, and the quick assembly allows for fewer workers on site.” There is also a strong green component to modular construction, because the buildings have the flexibility to move into different locations. “If you take a building and move that building from point A to point B, I don’t think you can get much greener or efficient,” Eberle said. Everything created in the factory utilizes materials purchased in bulk for use on multiple projects, further reducing waste. While modular construction is often permanent, temporary modular construction is on the rise, and Eberle offered some examples of situations where the flexibility of this type of build makes sense. School districts may need temporary buildings to handle the additional student population, and these modular buildings are movable, so a school system could relocate it for use in another area if the need should arise. Some businesses may need to utilize a “swing space” for a temporary situation while they finalize a new building. “We build these temporary modular buildings to adhere to several state codes to be repurposed and relocated with ease,” Eberle said.…
