Last month, Pac-Van had the pleasure of sponsoring and attending the 31st annual A Monumental Affair event, which recognizes the best architectural, design & construction projects in Indianapolis.

Pac-Van recognizes that our business is very much a part of our local community. For this reason, we have held a silent auction to benefit three local charities as part of our holiday celebration for the past few years. Earlier this fall, nominations for the charities were submitted, and then the employees were asked to vote on their favorites.

In the past few years Pac-Van has seen a trend in today's suburban real estate developments. Home builders are using highly customized modular offices to sell their high-dollar stick-built homes. There are a number of reasons that these traditionally opposing construction practices work very well together in these scenarios. In these developments where property is the product, you need to be able to remove your sales office to sell that final lot. Companies that specialize in stick-built homes don't want to build a permanent structure and then have to tear it down.

Mobile offices, or jobsite trailers whichever you prefer to call them, have been a critical tool at construction sites for a long time. Today's construction sites are not always an easily accessible vacant lot where you can drop a 40' trailer for months on end, and mobile offices have adapted to meet today's needs. As one of the largest providers of mobile office space in the United States, Pac-Van, Inc.

If you take a look around most construction sites these days, the mobile offices and storage containers are pretty utilitarian -- plain white or gray and not very eye-catching. While they do the job they were intended for, these large structures are typically written off as an operational expense that help prevent theft of tools and supplies while providing a base of operations for your crew. A recent trend in this space is to use your jobsite office or storage as a billboard to promote your business.

Pac-Van, Inc. was featured in the business section of Tuesday's edition of The Indianapolis Star.
