Movable modular casework

Movable modular casework for clinical environments offer the following major advantages and differences when compared with fixed custom casework:
  • Manufactured casework delivers a higher and more consistent level of quality
  • Movable modular casework has been designed to be easily reconfigured and reused, providing the flexibility to meet changes required by new technology or procedures.
  • Components have been specifically designed for use in clinical environments
  • Components are designed to be sanitized and support infection control policies and procedures
  • Movable modular casework provides a warranty that guarantees product is free from defects in materials and workmanship for at least ten years
  • When needed, repairs are faster and easier because components are designed to disassemble and reattach
  • Specification decisions can be made later in the process, when specific needs are more clear
  • Movable modular casework has standard lead times which are dependable and reliable

Financial Advantages

The initial cost of movable modular casework is competitive with fixed custom millwork. However, the life cycle cost of movable modular casework is far less than fixed casework due to:

  • Standard pricing through contract discounting with Group Purchasing Organizations (GPO’s) which saves time and money in negotiations, and allows for easy and reliable budgeting
  • Being considered a capital asset (part of FFE) and included in a different - and often, accelerated - depreciation schedule (7 years), rather than a real asset with a depreciation schedule that mirrors the building (39.5 years)
  • Freestanding solutions do not require wall backing for structural support
  • Faster installation, meaning lower installation costs
  • Field replaceable parts and components that can be added at any time, with minimal downtime and disruption

Green Advantages

Movable modular casework offers a number of green advantages over fixed custom casework, including:

  • Less waste at the construction site
  • Less waste when changes are made after initial installation
  • The use of environmentally friendly materials
