 JTS Modular Inc. and JRMA have allied to redefine the modular structure--from temporary, flimsy box to permanent, structurally sound building--without increasing the bottom line.
The portable shelters scattered on school and municipal campuses across the country continue to be a liability for their occupants. Designed to provide short-term shelter, they are often used well past their design life, exposing occupants to poor air quality and other hazards. In addition, these buildings waste energy, often representing a cash drain to an organization struggling to become energy-efficient.
 Together, JTS Modular and JRMA have created a solution to the "portable problem." Our structures are built to last as long as an ordinary building, cutting demolition costs and eliminating hazards resulting from rapid building dilapidation. Our team has also multiplied the possibilities for building appearance and functionality. Storefront windows, energy-efficient daylighting, and even two and three-floor structures are all available features.
Perhaps the most exciting news about these buildings is that they are so inexpensive. They can often be built for half the price of a comparable conventional structure. The savings are primarily the result of streamlined manufacturing techniques and structural engineering solutions that make it possible to efficiently fabricate the building off-site for rapid assembly on-site.
 Specific building options include either a wood shear wall or steel moment frame, a concrete-filled metal deck or a plywood floor system, concrete or wood foundations, and gable or monoslope roof options. In addition to schools, these structures can be custom-designed for municipal, justice, recreation, and hospitality functions.
