Fluctuating student enrollment and plummeting school budgets have presented a need for high-quality and on-budget building solutions. Modern’s expert staff has worked with Superintendents, school administrators, and facility managers for 50 years to provide single and multi-classrooms (i.e. portable classrooms, factory-built classrooms, mobile classrooms, and prefabricated classrooms), building add-on’s, and entire school campuses to school districts who demand affordable, quality, and fast building solutions.
Chris Hansen, CRSM Director of Facilities, Yelm Community Schools – Yelm, WA
“The delivery and set up personnel have been knowledgeable and professional in all aspects of the services they provide. Modern Building Systems has been an important contributor to the success
of Yelm Community Schools. Their quick response and consistently high-quality work are second to none. If you are in need of additional classroom or office space I highly recommend Modern Building Systems, Inc. for your next project.”
Tom Lovell, Cascade School District – Turner, OR
“After starting the school year at one of our elementary schools with kids using the covered play area, outdoor picnic tables, and even log rounds as seats and desks, I want to thank the team at Modern for their tireless efforts to expedite the delivery and installation of a new custom four classroom complex for our district. Modern reallocated resources for its local district and completed the project in a couple of months vs what would have normally been a 6-10 month process overall. Thank you to all at Modern Building Systems, Inc., I would highly recommend their team and fully expect to utilize them again for future needs.”
Bill Gibbons, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Cornerstone Christian Academy – Vancouver, WA
“Modern Building Systems was an integral partner for our current school placement and existence. We found ourselves unexpectedly without a home for our staff and students. Through challenging time constraints, infrastructure development, and changing needs, they helped us to realize our vision. We were able to continue our mission of equipping the next generation with a passion for learning and spreading the love of Jesus Christ. I highly recommend Modern. They’re people of integrity, trustworthy and a joy to work with.”
Kathy Ludwig, Superintendent, West Linn – Wilsonville School District
“I’d like to personally thank you for your willingness to work with us on the portable classroom lease we were anticipating needing. Your waiver of the lease and additional costs was a much-appreciated savings to our district and patrons. Not to mention, your support and flexibility during such a unique and complex time. We value your partnership and look forward to continued work together in the future.”
Stephen Miller, Superintendent, Canby School District
“I can’t say enough about this company’s willingness to respond to very difficult timelines and provide the portable classrooms with very minimum oversight by the school district. The quality of the classrooms is exemplary, in fact, in many ways the teachers preferred those classrooms to some of the classroom conditions existing in certain portions of the high school building.”
Arlene Walker, Structured Work Experience Specialist, Woodburn High Campus
“We would like to thank you personally for your generous gift of company time, materials and construction of this beautiful addition to the entrance of our school.”
Roger Young, Site Committee Chairman, Sunriver Preparatory School
“On behalf of the Board of Trustees, the staff and administration, and especially the students of Sunriver Preparatory School, I would like to thank your organization for the efforts and results of the recent Building “F” Expansion. We realize that due to the holidays and weather conditions, schedule slippage could very easily have occurred, but thanks to the efforts of all your people, both in at the site and in your office, the school was able to re-open and use this building on time.”
Bob Hope, Senior Pastor and President, Valley Life Center of the Assemblies of God
“We would be happy to have our name listed as one of those who can highly recommend Modern Building Systems. Thank you again for your outstanding service and great staff in the home office and out in the field.”
Robert Ouzts, Project Manager – Supervisor, University of California, Davis
“I recently had the privilege of contracting Modern Building Systems to provide a 10,000 square foot office building. I found the services of this company to be exceptional as it related to the design, fabrication, delivery, and installation of this project. Their tireless attention to detail and willingness to meet a demanding schedule concluded with a very successful project. I will look forward to working with this company for future modular building needs.”
Joe Nance, Project Manager, NACCO Materials Handling Group, Inc.
“All Modern Building Systems, Inc. people demonstrated a professionalism and competence that is commendable. The hard work, attention to detail, and cheerful helpfulness was very much appreciated. Your responsiveness and willingness to work closely with us was a major factor in our project’s success. Your dedication to getting the job done right, and on time, showed through again and again.”
Nikki Skinner, President, Skinner Montessori
“Initially, we were impressed with other structures they had built in and around the Greater Vancouver area. I believe the common reaction from any committee person was, ‘I can’t believe they are modular!’ Many of us on the committee had preconceived ideas as to what modular buildings were to look like, but after was saw the buildings manufactured by Modern, our perspective of what was possible changed dramatically.”
Gretchen Schuette, President, Chemeketa Community College
“We want you to know that we recognize the considerable amount of effort that you have invested in your assignment and commend you not only for your obvious involvement and achievements, but also for your willingness to serve, your continued commitment, and your generous sharing of perspective and expertise.”
William M. Elliott, P.E., City of Portland, Oregon Bureau of Water Works
“From the beginning to the end, your people have performed above and beyond the call of duty and have provided us with the building we need, in a timely fashion, and within reasonable budget. Throughout the project, Steve Ponce has been extremely helpful in working with us and our engineering firm, CH2Mhill, in this fast track project. His willingness to compress schedules made a timely accomplishment possible.”
Symantec Corporation, Operations Manager, Seattle Daily Journal of Commerce
“Modular buildings are fantastic. As soon as I can I’m going to build another. I can’t understand why more people aren’t building modular.”
Doug Hawkins, Operations Manager, Ramos Oil Company Inc
“The workmanship on each unit was great. If I need additional units you will not only be the first one that I call but the only one I call. I tried working with other modular suppliers but was not happy with the way they went about quoting or their business approach.”
Rick Dahlin, Manager, Facilities and Property Management, CH2M Hill Plateau Remidiation
“Your crew(s) up here are doing some fine work! I am particularly impressed with the craftsmanship on the 4-Wide for Water Utilities that we are installing now. I am super pleased with the overall performance and it is a pleasure to do business with you.”
Marshall McKillip, Facilities Project Coordinator, Salem-Keizer School District
“Modern Building Systems, Inc. has been considerate of the school district’s needs and have met all of our modular building orders and requirements. Their personnel have been pleasant to work with and always respond in a timely manner concerning ordering, building placement, site problem solving, etc. They are very professional and we look forward to working with them in the future.”
Tanya Stagray, Community Development Coordinator, Hacienda CDC
“Thank you so much for your hard and careful work in the moving of the playground equipment from OHS to Hacienda facilities. Your services were a crucial part of this project which will positively impact hundreds of children who live within Hacienda CDC properties.”
Pat Robinson, Boeing

Reg Martinson, Director of Facilities, Evergreen Public Schools
“Without modern building systems’ outstanding management and competent, professional staff, it would not have been possible to consistently meet
our tight budgets and limited schedule.”
