Guard & Security Houses

In addition to allowing for a greater degree of customization to meet specific application requirements, prefabricated guard houses can be easily and quickly assembled for time-sensitive installation needs. These self-contained units can also be relocated with a forklift.

At Commercial Structures Corp., all of our prefab guard houses come pre-wired, pre-fitted, and fully plumbed to allow for immediate use and optimal convenience. Outlets and interior lighting can be customized to meet specific needs, and thorough pretesting ensures quality and reliability. Structures can also be made in a wide range of sizes and materials to suit exact application requirements; explosion-resistant, bulletproof buildings are available to ensure the most extreme level of protection in high-risk areas; Commercial Structures Corp. offers aluminum armor alloys, as well as ceramic, steel, and titanium armor materials. And because these units are prefabricated in a controlled environment, optimal quality is guaranteed.

The modular installation is so simple that overall costs are very predictable and not likely to change through the duration of a project; unlike buildings made through traditional construction methods. Prefab guard booths can also be constructed with more elaborate configurations as needed.

Prefab guard shelters are mostly seen used as ticket booths, kiosks, parking attendant shelters, apartment access points, and observation units. Airports, military bases, construction sites, prisons, and manufacturing plants are just a few of the most common built environments making use of these versatile structures.

On construction sites with restricted-access spaces, for instance, prefab guard houses may be used to ensure people don’t enter hazardous areas. High-profile events may use modular structures to vet attendees and maintain maximum security reliably. In spaces requiring observation, monitoring equipment can be simply set up inside the structure.

Thanks to their easy scalability, modular guard booths are also ideal for tight, confined spaces.

Commercial Structures Corp. has been providing companies with top-quality, customizable modular structures since 1976. Our expert team will work with you to develop a modular guard house tailored to your unique needs; from construction, delivery and setup, and design and engineering to fabrication, financing, and support services, we work with clients through every step of the process.

Low-maintenance and extremely durable, our modular guard shelters can be outfitted with access ports for weapon firing, as well as ballistic walls, doors, and windows. Work desks and roof-mounted air conditioner options provide comfort for security personnel, while acoustic ceilings and steel floor frames ensure optimal strength. Exterior siding options include steel, aluminum, wood, stucco, brick, and specialty siding, and can be installed on site.

Prefabricated guard houses and security booths are a cost-effective and convenient way to provide increased security to a workplace or facility. These structures are highly mobile—i.e., can be moved from one location to another as needed—and customizable, providing greater flexibility and functionality. Additionally, as they are prebuilt, they can be delivered quickly to fulfill immediate needs. Depending on the needs of the facility, they can also double as toll booths or equipment enclosures.

Prefab guard booths find application in a wide range of locations, including:

Overview of Prefab Guard Booths

Prefab guard booths and guard shacks serve as a protective enclosure against inclement weather for security personnel in a variety of applications. Their durable construction lends them to safe delivery as a fully built unit as well as movement around and between worksites.

While these structures are available in several preexisting designs, if desired, a customer can create a fully custom design to suit their specifications. The integration of various components can enhance the functional or aesthetic elements of the unit. For example:

• For better visibility, add a raised platform
• For greater comfort, add an internal climate control system
• For increased security, add floodlights
• For improved protection against traffic accidents, add bollards

Each module is custom designed, engineered, and configured to meet your unique needs. Our prefabricated modular structures have been used as in-plant offices, locker rooms, medical buildings, laboratories, pump room enclosures, and much more…

At Speed Space, we specialize in the fabrication of portable guard houses. Our guard units are customized and fully outfitted at our facility to meet your stringent security requirements. These prefabricated guard houses have appeared in demanding environments around the world, including airports, military bases, prisons, construction sites, and industrial plants.

Common Challenges Faced During Guard Booth Construction

Prefabricated guard houses are enclosures that house personnel charged with keeping your facility secure. These structures are placed in strategic locations and are typically configured to give occupants a 360° view of surroundings. Although the intention of these small buildings is relatively straightforward, their design requirements can vary widely depending on the application.

Several considerations should factor into planning, designing, and selecting an appropriate guard booth design for your facility. Some guard houses must incorporate special equipment such as gates, gun ports, or safety railings on the exterior or interior of the booth. Others should be designed with portability in mind, allowing the booth to move as your company grows. The booth’s appearance must also reflect your guard booth’s objective, whether it is to project a strong front against threats or a welcoming aspect for visitors.

The specifications required for portable guard houses vary by facility, as well. Guard booths in military bases, airports, and prisons should prepare against impacts from high-velocity projectiles and attempts at forced entry. Booths in hazardous industrial facilities require special outfitting to protect occupants from blasts or toxic emissions caused by ignition of flammable material, rupture of pressure vessels, or other potential workplace hazards.

Modular construction of prefabricated guard booths allows you to specify the precise features needed for the facility. Because modularly constructed booths are highly customizable, managers can choose to install or forgo features, such as fixtures, plumbing, and HVAC systems, according to the needs of their facility upfront, allowing complete pre-manufactured structures to be built to their specifications with no surprise costs. This differs from the one-size-must-fit-all approach of conventional construction, whose style of manufacturing from the ground up often prevents guard booths from efficiently adapting to the needs of your facility and are not easily relocated.

Benefits of Modular Construction for Security-Related Projects

Modular construction is ideal for security projects because of its short construction turnaround. Modular security structures can be built quickly, enabling you to maximize the effectiveness of your security operations sooner. Having high-level, efficient security quickly is important for both staff and management.

Modular buildings are also extremely cost-effective, meaning you won’t need to exceed your budget in order to protect your staff and property. Additionally, because they’re manufactured offsite, modular security buildings won’t disrupt daily operations by creating a long-term construction zone on your premises. Since modular components are produced inside a controlled facility, modular structures also stand less chance of being compromised by environmental or other factors during the construction process, and offer superior quality control during the manufacturing process.

Our modular prefabricated buildings can come pre-fitted with plumbing, electricity, and HVAC systems to enable quick, efficient installation on your property—often in as little as one day. Your new security structure can be fully functional and ready for use by your security staff in very little time.
