Planning Your

Project

Page 3: Introduction to Panel Built

3

Factors to consider when

planning A modular

Construction project

Where will this project be located?

What is the environment around this project? How fast do I need this completed?

How much potential downtime will this project take? What is the potential project budget? Does the layout allow for changes or revisions?

What concerns do you have with this Project? Sound Control? Fire Resistance? Employee Protection? Etc..?

When you contact a Panel Built Sales Representative, all these questions

among others will be discussed in order to provide the best possible solution to your needs.

Why Modular?

The trend to purchase and utilize

modular building systems is increasing with no end in sight and for good

reason. By pre-engineering, designing, and prefabricating in an automated controlled environment, we are able

to provide you greater value over conventional construction methods with

shorter lead times and much less site disturbance.

What Advantage Does Modular Hold Over

Conventional Construction Methods?

Modular

Construction

Conventional

Construction

Pre-Designed Requires architectural time and expenditure

Pre-engineered Requires engineering time and expenditure

Complete detailing package: including specifications and all the components necessary

to place order at no charge.

Bid packages or a professional spec writer is time consuming and costly– poorly communicated pro-

ject could be a disaster.

Quality inspected and approved materials. Volume purchasing power for lower cost.

Building materials and quality vary day to day. Increased costs due to numerous trips or

additional orders for building supplies.

Prefabricated to minimize an interruption of production. (Less time-Less Mess-Less Noise)

Interrupted operations and increased construction time, not to mention, wet paint, sheet rock dust,

debris, and noisy tools.

Easily expandable system manufactured to match in appearance and to accept additions.

Difficult to match existing construction after time. Added levels could require more reinforcement in

structure.

Relocatable by fork-lift or crane– Disassemble and reassemble– Never lose capital investment.

Requires demolition resulting in debris removal and higher reconstruction costs. Longer

construction time.

Longer lifetime of material such as steel, alumi-

num, etc, for more exact fits and tolerances

Construction Materials have a distinctively shorter

lifetime than materials used in Modular construction.

7 year Tax Depreciation 33 year Tax Depreciation

Single Source A reliable contractor or multiple trades must be located and coordinated for each project.

Interchangeable panels, doors, windows and oth-er parts.

Contractors rarely use the same materials projet to project.

Fast, easy, and cost effective installation. Environmental delays, plant down-time, union labor etc. Can add costs to the project.

Non-Combustible sound

panels

Panel Built, Inc. is proud to announce the addition of three new panel types to

our product mix. All three panels serve a need requested by our customers regarding two common specifications; sound and fire. The first panel is

focused on sound, providing a higher STC than our standard Value Line

panels, but utilizing the same modular building system. Composed of

gypsum, sound board, and poly-styrene; these panels are ideal for noisy warehouses or back-to-back

offices where sound transference is an issue. Panel Built, Inc. calls these

panels Standard Sound Panels, and they are available in three standard colors, as well as custom colors and

finishes by request.

The second panel type is a low-cost non-combustible panel designed to work in the same modular building system as our Value Line panels. These panels

utilize a poly-isocyanurate core laminated with vinyl faced gypsum on either side. Poly-Iso is an FM approved non-combustible material which provides a

higher R-value than poly-styrene at a relatively minimal price increase. Available in three standard colors, these panels are ideal for machine shops and manufacturing facilities where insurance requirements necessitate non-

combustible construction. Before deciding on traditional construction, compare it to our Standard Non-Combustible panel building system which

achieves the same fire rating at a fraction of the cost and time.

The final panel type introduced today is our Non-Combustible Sound Panel. As the name implies, this panel takes into account both sound and fire

specifications and provides a high STC panel with a non-combustible core. These panels feature a pre-formed metal stud sub-frame with mineral wool core laminated to vinyl faced gypsum on either side. Also designed to work

with our existing modular building system, these panels are available up to 12

feet tall.

As always, Panel Built’s experienced modular building experts will help you

find the best solution for your specific needs. It is always a good idea to check with your insurance company to discover their fire rating requirements for

modular construction before purchasing. For those instances where a 1-hour fire rating is required, Panel Built also offers a certified 1-hour system.

There are instances where the insurance company requires more than a Class A,

but not necessarily 1-hour fire rated. For these situations, Panel Built has developed a hybrid panel. The hybrid panel is non-combustible, with a gypsum

covered mineral wool core. Like the 1-hour panels, this requires steel studs to provide rigidity. Unlike the 1-hour panel though, a hybrid panel does not need

screws (up to 9’ tall); instead, it can be laminated together with structural

adhesive, leaving the surface of the gypsum smooth (and consequently does not require a steel skin saving you money).

HVAC Systems

Page 35: Introduction to Panel Built

Types of HVAC Systems

Traditional Split System HVAC’s are

most commonly associated with

residential homes. These systems are

optimal when there are multiple rooms

and hallways to cool. Ductwork can be ran

into each room, while only using one air

condenser (outside) and one air handler

(inside).

Exterior of Building:

(D) - Air Condenser

Interior of Building:

(A) - Air Return

(B) - Ductwork

(C) - Air Handler

Mini Split Systems are often used when adding HVAC

to a new room or office in an existing building. Because

there are no hallways to heat/cool, the air handler can

be located on the wall or roof of the new room without

running ductwork. These systems still operate like a

traditional split system: with an air condenser located

outside which feeds an air handler located inside the

building. These systems can be used to cool multiple

rooms. However, if there is a hallway involved, either

include an air handler for the hallway or consider

traditional split system.

BARD or Package Units are generally used for larger areas

that need a heat/cool system that can easily be transported

with the building. The system is still comprised of an air

condenser and air handler, but they are contained in the

same unit that is visible hanging on the exterior of the

building. BARD units can be used in conjunction with

ductwork to heat/cool multiple rooms with one unit. Two

important considerations when using BARD units: is there

sufficient ambient (cool) air to feed the system? where will

the condensation line drain to?

Coleman Roof Mount HVAC’s are designed to be used on RV’s.

They are often utilized on guard booths, (Like Panel Built Quick Ship

guard booths). These units are similar to BARD units, in that the air

condenser and air handler are combined into one unit - however, the

Coleman unit mounts on to the roof of the building. There is an air

diffuser on the interior ceiling which also houses the controls for the

unit unless the optional external thermostat is purchased. Because

these units have a condensation pan (which relies on evaporation)

instead of a condensation drain line, roof mounts should only be

used on flat roofs to avoid possible drippage

Mezzanine system options

Floors/Decking

Corrugated Steel Decking

One of the most common options for decking a mezzanine is to use

corrugated steel decking material covered by a layer of Advantech.

Advantech is a high quality product superior to ordinary plywood

and OSB options due to its enhanced strength, stiffness and

moisture resistance. Its advanced destiny provides a solid and

secure resistance to foot traffic, and is designed to withstand

weather conditions better than ordinary plywood. This decking

method is considered to be our most economic selection and

materials are readily available.

ResinDek

ResinDek is high density composite flooring, recommended for

mezzanines requiring a solid floor subject to heavy loads from the

use of pallet jacks, carts or dollies. This option is installed over

20g. corrugated steel decking and has a load capacity of up to

2,000 lbs PSF It has an acryseal surface which is not only skid-

resistant but also easy to clean. Available in a Gray Diamond Seal

finish, ResinDek is ideal for interior decking where heavier loads

and a more “finished” look are desired.

Diamond Plate

Heavy-duty steel tread plate (diamond plate) is generally installed

over Advantech. Advantech is mounted over corrugated steel deck

to provide greater durability with higher point load and wheel load

capacities. It also enables a quiet floor for the work environment as

opposed to having diamond plate directly over a steel deck (which

can also be a viable option if insurance requires no combustible

material be used). This decking is considered to be our second

most durable flooring.

Concrete

The most durable type of mezzanine flooring by far is concrete.

With a high point load and minimal transmission of noise through

the deck, concrete should be used in high capacity industrial and

military applications where the mezzanine is considered to be

permanent. Steel decking (corrugated steel VL decking) is provided

Steel Grating

Steel grating allows for air, light, heat, and fluids to pass through

the deck surface. It is strong, durable and virtually maintenance

free. Press-locked grating is a system of interlocking,

perpendicular bars; it provides a smooth clean look and excellent

lateral support. It exhibits the same strength, long life and

openness as welded grating. Black finish is standard with steel

grating; however, various color options and galvanized finishes are

also available.

Page 45: Introduction to Panel Built

Mezzanine system options

Stair Systems

All Panel Built stair systems and components are engineered, fabricated and powder coated at our plant for a

lasting finish and fast delivery. Each system is manufactured to your

specification allowing for various sizes, heights and specialty handrails that meet OSHA or IBC codes.

Ladders & Cage Ladders

Featuring solid steel construction and a powder coat finish, Panel Built cage ladders are

engineered to meet OSHA specifications. Ladders feature a flared entry for easy access and include a steel base mounting bracket.

Page 46: Introduction to Panel Built

46

Paint vs. Powder

When it comes to finishing structural steel,

powder coating is one of the most durable

surface finishes utilized today. It is used

across a wide array of industries including

aviation, marine, and military applications.

Powder coating is a type of coating that is

applied as a free-flowing, dry powder.

The main difference between a conventional

liquid paint and a powder coating is that the

powder coating does not require a solvent to

keep the binder and filler parts in a liquid

suspension form. The coating is typically

applied electro statically and is then cured

under heat to allow it to flow and form a

"skin".

The powder coating process involves three basic steps: Part preparation or the pre-

treatment which is the removal of oil, soil, lubrication greases, metal oxides, welding

scales by mechanical process. Next is the powder application process; an electrostatic gun

is used to spray the powder onto the metal structure. The gun imparts a negative electric

charge to the powder, which is then sprayed towards the grounded object. The last step is

curing; this is when the powder is

exposed to elevated temperature, and it

begins to melt, flows out, and then

chemically reacts to form an

interconnected structure. The cure

process requires that the material reach

a temperature of 350°F for 12- 15

minutes time in order to reach full cure.

There are many advantages to using

Powder Coating vs. liquid coating. One

advantage is powder coating is highly

protective of our environment. While

liquid finishes contain solvents which

have pollutants known as volatile organic

compounds (VOC's), powder coating

contains no solvents and release

negligible amounts, if any, VOC's into the atmosphere. Therefore, there is no longer a need

for finishers to buy and maintain costly pollution control equipment. Powder coated items

generally have fewer appearance differences between horizontally coated surfaces and

vertically coated surfaces than liquid coated items. The coat is tough, durable, and long

lasting; has excellent hardness and abrasion resistance which in turn provides improved

product performance over most liquid coatings. Another great benefit of powder coating is

that it can produce much thicker coatings than conventional liquid coatings without running

or sagging; giving your finished product a sleeker and smooth looking finish.

Page 47: Introduction to Panel Built

Structural Steel vs. Cold

Rolled Systems

Cold Rolled Cold rolled refers to the method of bending sheet metal into “c” channel to use as the

under structure of the mezzanine floor. These cold rolled pieces attach to the tubular steel

or tapered columns and provide the “beams” that support the floor. Cold rolled has two

major benefits over structural steel mezzanines. First, the material is much lighter than

structural steel and therefore less expensive to ship. This usually means there is also less

equipment needed to erect the structure on site. Second, cold rolled steel can be pre-

galvanized; offering a substantial savings over hot dipped galvanized, stainless steel, or

aluminum mezzanines. A disadvantage of cold rolled steel mezzanine systems is the very

limited column spacing (usually 16’ max). They are also unable to reach the high live loads

or heavily concentrated point loads that can be accomplished with structural steel

mezzanine systems.

Structural Steel Structural steel mezzanines are constructed of hot rolled structural I-beams which connect

in a post-and-beam manor to tubular columns or I-beam columns. Open web bar joists are

then used to construct the sub-floor support. While structural steel mezzanines do have a

higher dead load than cold rolled systems, they also offer major advantages. The most

commonly required benefit of structural steel is greater column spacing. Instead of the

limited 16 feet achievable with cold rolled, structural steel mezzanines can have column

spacing well over 25 feet as well as load ratings well over the standard 125 psf. This

means when using a structural steel mezzanine system, more material can be stored in a

smaller area – with more space for manoeuvrability underneath.

Both types of mezzanine systems can be

finished with wet paint or powder coated.

Cold rolled systems can be pre-

galvanized whereas structural steel must

be hot-dipped in order to become

galvanized. The last major comparison

point between the two systems is price.

Cold rolled systems will tend to cost less

(partly due to less freight cost), but offer

fewer load and span options. Conversely,

structural steel tends to cost more; but

with more span options and the

availability to add more weight as

situations arise in the future. Panel Built

offers both options in order to better

serve our customers needs. We can even design a hybrid of both systems when needed to

achieve the perfect combination of value and functionality!

How to get started

At Panel Built we do not have exclusive dealer territories, dealer

registration fees, or dealer sales quotes. Instead, we operate under the premise that we will always be upfront and honest with our dealers and

customers; and that we want to be the preferred modular building provider for everyone we meet. With that being said we ALWAYS cross

check leads to ensure we do not create a scenario where two dealers are quoting our product for the same project. In instances where two dealers

bring us the same lead, we immediately connect both dealers and make them aware of the situation. We have found this to be the most fair and

honest way to proceed while still satisfying our end-customer needs.
