Long lead times . . .

Monday, August 13th, 2007

Summer time in the modular building industry typically means long lead times at the factories.  This is caused mostly due to the high demand for modular classrooms which are needed for new classrooms in the fall.  If you are in a pinch for something quick, consider purchasing a used modular building or perhaps a refurbished modular building.  Ask your representative at Anchor Modular Buildings for more information!
