Frequently Asked Questions

What is a modular in-plant office?

A modular in-plant office is a self-contained, factory-built office unit designed to be installed inside an existing manufacturing, warehouse, or industrial facility. Rather than constructing a permanent interior partition, in-plant offices are prefabricated steel structures that arrive ready for crane placement — and can be relocated or reconfigured as your production layout evolves. CID in-plant offices include insulated walls, load-bearing steel roofs, and complete electrical systems as standard. 

Do modular in-plant offices require a building permit?

Permitting requirements for in-plant offices vary by jurisdiction and application. Because CID in-plant offices are modular, freestanding structures installed inside an existing building rather than permanently attached to the structure, many installations do not require a traditional building permit. CID Buildings can help clarify applicable requirements for your facility and state. All CID structures are code-compliant and available with third-party inspection certificates.Contact us to discuss your project
