II. The Site

1) Simplify Site Supervision – our factory built buildings can come completely wired for all services. The biggest site bottleneck can be the wiring and testing of the sensitive electrical circuit demands for the fueling dispenser, submersible pump, tank gauging equipment, point of sale equipment, communication lines as well as the electrical service to the building itself. Factory pre-wiring back to the electrical panel makes it much easier for competing trades to do their work quickly and on time.

2) Lower Site Supervisor Costs Shorter project completion times reduce construction supervision cost of the building by 33% - 50% and allow existing construction management staff to execute more projects.

3) Reduced Union, Prevailing Wage, and OSHA Exposure – Factory built buildings reduce the scope of work done onsite.

III. Reduced Risk and Improved Cash Flow

1) Fully Re-locatable – Factory built buildings can be easily picked up and relocated on the site to another site, unlike site built buildings.

2) Moveable Factory built buildings are eligible for accelerated 7-year depreciation vs. standard construction’s 39-year depreciation. During the 1st 7 years a buyer of a factory built building will save $16,400 in taxes.

3) Reduced Material Theft and Vandalism – factory built buildings do reduce material theft and vandalism.

4) Shorter Project Completion Times accelerate the date the new site will produce revenue and profit, improving ROI.

Choosing Factory Built Buildings vs. Site Built

1) May not please your architect who may receive less revenue.

2) May not please your general contractor or subcontractor who may lose billable construction hours on site.

3) Will please your construction supervisor.

4) Will please your controller.

5) Will please your shareholders.
