Planning Your
Project
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.

humidity. HEPA Filters. Ante Room. Return air. Make up
air. Pre-Filter. Pressurized plenum. CFM. Filter coverage. Filter efficiency. Air flow.
It is no surprise that the need
for a cleanroom can be overwhelming. Panel Built can help with the confusion. The
panels, windows, and doors common to our in-plant modular office system already meet your Class 1000, Class 10,000, and Class 100,000 needs. Our
sales staff has the knowledge to combine our wall system with the appropriate cleanroom components to insure your cleanroom meets your
strict requirements. Cleanrooms by Panel Built incorporate a hidden return air chase system.
Utilizing the wall cavity itself in conjunction with properly sized return louvers, Panel Built is able to eliminate the expensive ductwork and/or
chase walls often associated with hardwall modular cleanroom systems. This translates into a final product that is more attractive, less expensive, and easier to install.
Panel Built also works closely with our suppliers to guarantee that the specialty components such as sealed and gasketed light fixtures, cleanroom
drop ceilings, and HEPA Fan filter units are readily available to insure we can continue to meet our industry leading delivery times.

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
35
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.
45
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.
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.
47
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!

to our top-quality product lines. We now offer ballistic-rated buildings. Perfect for guardhouses
or exterior buildings where security is a priority, Panel Built’s ballistic
rated buildings offer that extra protection necessary to keep you
safe at all times.
Prefabricated for convenience, our ballistic-rated buildings come
available with a fork- or crane-liftable base for easier placement on the job site. The structural steel
building comes equipped with hardened steel plating, welded on for increased
support, capable of withstanding high power rifle fire.
Panel Built’s ballistic capabilities are up to an ANSI/UL Level 5 rating (Medium
category), capable of withstanding a 7.62mm / .308 caliber rifle round at 10 meters. They also classify under the National Institute of Justice’s “Type III high-
powered rifle” category. The armored plating is composed of AR500 steel. The windows are composed of non-spall material, are engineered to resist the same ballistic stresses as the armored plating.

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.
