Storm Recovery to Strategic Investment
After suffering structural damage during Hurricane Helene, one facility in Western North Carolina had a decision to make: rebuild what was lost, or take the opportunity to implement a better long-term solution.
They chose to do both with help from Advanced Equipment Company and Material Handling Specialist Trace Davis. What began as a storm recovery effort quickly turned into a strategic investment in operational improvement, thanks to Starrco modular building systems.
Why Modular Building Systems?
In industrial environments where space is tight and operations need to keep moving, the ability to quickly install reliable infrastructure is critical. Modular in-plant offices offer a fast, clean, and flexible solution, perfect for adding offices, break rooms, conference spaces, or quality control stations without the disruption of traditional construction.
What is the Starrco Advantage?
Starrco modular buildings are precision-engineered systems designed to meet the demands of modern production and warehouse environments. They offer several advantages over conventional construction:
- Speed of Installation: Because components are manufactured off-site, Starrco buildings go up quickly with minimal disruption to your operation.
- Clean Construction: No dust, debris, or extended construction timelines, just efficient, professional results.
- Custom Fit: From size and layout to doors, windows, and finishes, Starrco’s systems are fully customizable to meet your specific needs.
- Expandable and Reconfigurable: As your facility grows or changes, your modular building can grow and change with it.
- Professional Look: Starrco buildings provide a clean, finished appearance that enhances the overall environment, unlike temporary trailers or makeshift workspaces.
A Real-World Example
At the Western North Carolina site, the original plan was to replace just the first floor of two damaged modular buildings and add a couple of small single-story units. But after reviewing the site with Trace Davis, everyone agreed: a full replacement made more sense.
By removing the old buildings and installing brand-new two-story Starrco modular offices, the facility avoided complications and came out ahead with a clean, reliable, and long-term solution.
Advanced Equipment Company managed the entire project, from demolition and planning to modular building installation, ensuring everything stayed on track and fit the customer’s needs.
