Top 5 benefits of Progress
For decades, construction companies have chosen temporary modular buildings for jobsites for obvious reasons: they’re fast, flexible and affordable. The site office is the hub of the construction site. The first place workers will go when they arrive. It's also the place visitors will report to, and it's often where site meetings take place. Even co-location spaces on large projects are often tucked away with minimal daylight. We think of these offices as temporary, but temporary can be anything from months to years, and many site personnel spend their entire careers in temporary accommodation.
Ausco’s new modular building range, Progress, has been developed with a real desire to set best-practice sustainability standards for temporary site facilities. Site accommodation not only has an environmental impact but can also positively impact the wellbeing of its occupants through natural light and flexible, open-plan spaces.
Read on to learn how Progress can benefit your next construction project.
- Configurable internal space
Giving teams the flexible workspace they need to get things done can boost collaboration and office morale. Unlike traditional offices with fixed and assigned desk positions, flexible workspaces can be easily arranged to accommodate changing business objectives, or quickly scaled up or down to fit teams of different sizes.
- Stackable to 3 storeys
Vertical office solutions are extremely popular in our urban areas where there is a high demand for offices but little space to work with. Incorporating modern technology in it’s design, Progress’ configurable nature allows for unique shapes and sizes.
- Sustainability-conscious
When you embrace sustainability in the office, everyone benefits. Workplace interventions have a huge impact on long-term health and wellness. Improved air quality, levels of light and layouts are just some of the most effective approaches to improve workplace wellbeing at an individual, team and organisational level.
If you are looking for ways to reduce the environmental impact without affecting the project deliverables and timeframes, Progress adds value through low impact site buildings.

Progress is a quick, comfortable and temporary solution for your project which does not compromise but, in fact, enhances staff wellbeing.
- Open-plan designs
These spaces help to build a strong sense of community and can host groups for events and roundtables. Everyone is made to feel welcome, and the opportunities for networking mean that relationships are built within your network are constantly being forged. When workers are supported by an office layout responds to their changing needs – whether over the course of the project or course of the day – they find it easier to meet their objectives.
