Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about modular construction and leasing and purchasing modular buildings from Carter Leasing Solutions, including delivery, setup, code compliance, and costs.General Questions
What services does Carter Leasing Solutions provide?
Carter Leasing Solutions offers modular building solutions for lease and sale. We combine expertise in modular construction with flexible financing to deliver high-quality buildings for construction, education, retail and hospitality, workforce housing, emergency response, government, and modular building dealers.
What is modular construction?
Modular construction is a building method where structures are built in sections (modules) off-site in a controlled factory environment, then transported and assembled on-site like building blocks. This method enables faster completion, consistent quality, and less disruption than traditional construction.
Are modular buildings permanent or temporary?
Both. Modular buildings can be designed for temporary use, such as job-site offices or swing space, or as long-term facilities with durability and performance comparable to traditional site-built structures.

What is modular construction?
Modular construction is a building method where structures are built in sections (modules) off-site in a controlled factory environment, then transported and assembled on-site like building blocks. This method enables faster completion, consistent quality, and less disruption than traditional construction.
Will there be a significant disruption to my site during installation?
Modular construction significantly reduces on-site disruption. Most of the building work takes place off-site, so on-site activity mainly involves foundations, utility connections, crane work (if needed), and final setup. This usually results in less noise, congestion, and downtime for your operations.
Delivery, Setup & Timelines
How long does it take to complete a modular building project?
Modular buildings can be finished 30-50% faster than traditional construction. Because construction occurs in a factory while site work is performed on location, overall project timelines are shortened. Many projects go from planning to occupancy in weeks rather than months or years.
How fast can modular buildings be delivered and installed?
Because site preparation and factory construction occur simultaneously, and we keep a Modular Building Inventory, modular buildings can be delivered and installed much faster than traditional construction. Actual timelines vary based on building type, configuration, and site conditions.
What does Carter Leasing Solutions handle during delivery and setup?
We offer comprehensive support. Our team manages delivery, installs buildings, handles deck and ramp installation, and collaborates with skilled setup contractors to ensure your project stays on track.

Code Compliance, Quality & Safety
Do modular buildings meet building codes?
Yes. Our modular building solutions are designed and built to meet or exceed all applicable codes and standards for safety, structural integrity, energy efficiency, and accessibility. Like traditional construction, they are reviewed and inspected for compliance.
Are modular buildings safe and of high quality?
Modular buildings function just like traditional facilities. They utilize high-quality materials, modern building systems, and professional finishes. Most occupants cannot distinguish between a modular building and a conventional site-built structure.
Leasing, Terms & Costs
Do I have to purchase the building, or can I lease it?
You can lease modular buildings for short- or long-term needs, aligning facility costs with your project timeline and budget. Purchase options are also available.
Is modular construction more cost-effective?
Modular construction can be more cost-effective than traditional methods. Factory-controlled building reduces labor costs, minimizes material waste, and minimizes weather-related delays. Leasing modular buildings also helps you avoid significant upfront capital expenses.
How flexible are the lease terms?
We provide flexible lease options to suit your budget, schedule, and operational needs. Lease duration, renewal choices, and other terms can be customized to your project. We collaborate with you to create an arrangement that meets your requirements
What factors affect the cost of a modular building lease?
Key cost drivers include building size and configuration, level of customization, site conditions, location, lease duration, and any additional services (such as decking or ramps). We provide clear proposals so you understand how each factor impacts pricing.
Customization & Use Cases
Can modular buildings be customized for my specific use?
Yes. We can customize floor plans, room layouts, and finishes to suit your operations, whether you need offices, classrooms, housing, retail space, or emergency facilities.
What types of modular buildings do you lease?
We lease modular classrooms, offices, retail and hospitality spaces, construction-site offices, workforce housing, emergency-response facilities, and more. If you need space, we can design and lease a modular solution to meet your needs.
What types of projects are a good fit for modular buildings?
Modular buildings are perfect when you need quick space, want to avoid significant capital costs, expect your needs to evolve, or operate in environments where downtime is expensive. Typical uses include jobsite offices, workforce housing, school expansions, temporary clinics, retail expansions, and emergency response centers.
