Littleton, MA Triumph Modular Inc., the northeast’s premier provider of high quality relocatable and permanent modular buildings, has launched the Mobile Big Room. This modular space combines visual management tools and modern office design characteristics to help support on-site teamwork and collaboration.

The Mobile Big Room enables forward-thinking construction companies, architects, owners and sub-contractors to collaborate on the design, plans and construction of projects from one location in a flexible setting that supports larger groups. 

It was developed in response to the growing number of teams using Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) or similar project management approaches to provide the highest level of quality assurance, issue resolution and cost control. 

“The idea of the Mobile Big Room was sparked by Triumph’s experience implementing the Lean philosophy within our business practice. The Mobile Big Room was created as a direct result of the increased demand for mobile space that supports collaboration and coordination on projects through such features as break-out rooms, whiteboards and technology,” said Cliff Cort, president of Triumph Modular. “By using the Mobile Big Room, project teams foster behaviors that lead to high levels of coordination, productivity and efficiencies.”

This type of ongoing collaboration has proven to be effective within the industry. A study published by the International Journal of Project Management concluded: “Team integration should be an aspiration because it leads to e?ciency of the delivery process and cost e?ectiveness through elimination of waste. Competitiveness and pro?tability are increased which enable ?rms to deliver better value for money and meet clients’ needs.” The Mobile Big Room is the first facility designed to better support IPD and cross-team collaboration in the field. 

Mobile Big Rooms are modern in design featuring Energy Star oversized windows providing natural light, vision glass entry doors, Galvalume metal siding for durability and enhanced aesthetics, solid core insulated steel doors, keyless entry locks, LED lighting, data ports and outside electrical ports. The Mobile Big Room features a large IdeaPaint™ wall that doubles as a dry erase board to encourage brainstorming and collaboration in an open floor layout that fosters visual management, a Lean practice that places in plain view all tools, parts and production activities.

Aside from benefiting the construction industry, the Mobile Big Room is flexible in layout and is easily adaptable for other industries including the technology and education sectors, among others. Public and private schools can utilize the Mobile Big Room for makerspace, additional classroom space or added programming space. The Mobile Big Room allows any industry to successfully implement a facility that enables various users to carry the spirit of collaboration and coordination in an open layout format.
