Modular Schools for Growing School Districts
For over 30 years Ramtech has provided schools throughout the southwest with portable classroom buildings. Typically Ramtech keeps over 50 two-classroom buildings (often referred to as double classrooms or portables) both with and without restrooms in inventory for immediate delivery to public, private, and charter schools. As the largest supplier of portable classrooms in the Southwest, what many schools don’t realize is that Ramtech is also a major supplier of both standard and custom multiple classroom buildings, facilities that include up to 4 to 16 classrooms per building.

Green Buildings Underperforming??
For the last several years, the Modular Building Institute (MBI) has attempted to address the inequalities of the International Green Construction Code when applied to small commercial construction projects, as these are the heart of the commercial modular industry. MBI promotes the fact that modular buildings are one of the best platforms for sustainable building construction today for the following reasons:
- Factory construction means greater waste diversion from landfills
- Factory controlled construction means greater use of recycling practices
- Off-site construction means less site disruption
- Ability of modular buildings to be relocated and repurposed means fewer buildings being demolished and ultimately less waste
As we have stated before, sustainable construction practices make sense when applied in scale to the overall project. Small projects bear an inordinate amount of costs to attain certain levels of sustainable construction when compared to large public and private sector work; however, there may be more to question when it comes to green construction.

Bringing High-Quality Modular Medical Clinics to Rural Areas
Bringing quality healthcare to rural areas is always a challenge, especially when it comes to developing new facilities where commercial builders and subcontractors are in short supply. For years Ramtech has met just these types of needs by providing temporary and permanent modular buildings to rural and remote locations throughout the Southwest. Recently we went up to the North-central Arkansas area to visit one of our two-physician modular medical clinics we constructed and installed for Dr. Adam Gray.
Located in Izard County in the small community of Melbourne, Ramtech used traditional permanent modular construction to build this 2,600 square foot building featuring six exam rooms, procedure room, lab area, and business office. Once again we took along our video equipment to record the thoughts and comments of Dr. Gray on how he found Ramtech and what it was like to work with us.

Limestone Shares Their Experience on Using Permanent Modular Construction
Ramtech recently went back to visit our first Accelerated Building System permanent modular construction project for the healthcare market located adjacent to the main hospital at Limestone Medical Center in the central Texas community of Groesbeck. We took along our video gear to record the thoughts and comments of Penny Gray, administrator and CEO at Limestone, as she reflected on how the 12,000 square foot modular building project was originally developed and what it was like to work with the Ramtech team.
The interview took place inside the rural modular medical clinic that provides accommodations for seven physicians and an optometrist, including 20 exam rooms, four procedure rooms, medical records area, offices and retail space.
Here is what Penny had to say in her own words:
