Houston-based Aries Building Systems, which produces modular buildings for workforce housing, commercial applications, government, educational, healthcare and industrial sites is expanding westward to open the Pacific Northwest Major Projects Group in Bellevue Washington. Although temporary buildings comprise 20 percent of the Pacific Northwest’s business, it will focus on permanent structures for healthcare, education and government, as well as temporary construction jobsite buildings.

Kim Neill, who has been in the modular business for over 35 years, and says Aries site-designs, develops, manufactures and installs its product, states the company currently has ten projects valued at $6 million in Washington. It recently provided a school with a classroom 45 days after the initial request, as djc tells MHProNews.

While Aries has a 60,000 square foot factory in Troy, Texas, it has no plans to build a factory in the West. It currently contracts with Whitley Evergreen in Marysville, WA, Blazer, Inc. in Salem, OR, and Advanced Modular in Salt Lake City. ##
