To provide our customers with an up close and personal look at the features and benefits built into every Ramtech multiple classroom building, we recently installed a new four classroom facility adjacent to our corporate headquarters and manufacturing plant located in Mansfield, Texas.
The modular school building contains finished and unfinished rooms to provide a complete view into how Ramtech designs, manufactures, and installs each of our facilities. Ranging in size from 4 to 16 classrooms, schools have a choice in how they can meet their facility requirements by using one of our standard floor plan designs or a customized version. As a full-service design-build construction company, this model building will help provide potential clients with a first-hand look at what can be done when using our approach to relocatable buildings and permanent modular construction.
For over 30 years Ramtech has provided public, private, charter, and faith-based schools with portable two-classroom modular buildings (both with and without restrooms) that are available through an extensive inventory program. Available for immediate delivery by sale or with several leasing options, our program has enabled us to become the largest supplier of portable classrooms in Texas and the southwest. During 2014, Ramtech provided over 130 portable classroom buildings to schools and colleges in a five state area.
These industry-standard two classroom modular buildings require very little if any site preparation, and are easily relocated when circumstances change. With our multiple classroom buildings any increase in site development is offset by the advantages of the look and feel of a permanent facility, while also being much faster and less expensive than actual site constructed structures. They also provide a safer environment by allowing teachers and students to change classes while remaining in the same building for an entire school day.
Individual classroom buildings can be designed and constructed to address requirements for computer and science labs, administrative offices, and specialty classrooms for all age groups. Exterior finishes can be as simple as low cost R-panel steel siding, or the permanent look and feel of synthetic stucco or brick veneer paneling. The interior finishes are very similar to site constructed buildings including the use of T-grid ceilings, recessed lighting, vinyl covered sheetrock walls, and vinyl composition tile or carpeted floors. Custom multiple classroom buildings can also be designed, manufactured, and installed usually within a 60-90 day time frame depending on the site conditions and local permitting requirements.
