Why Does Your Building Need Movable Casework?

Movable casework is a growing alternative that is being used by several contractors to replace their built-in casework. After receiving several requests of casework design for movable pieces, BluEntCAD’s team decided to explore why movable casework is a better alternative to static modular casework.

What exactly is movable casework?

Simply put, movable casework is designed to be customized as per requirements. The upper and lower cabinets in movable casework can be modified, relocated and reused endlessly; without changing the look and feel of its built-in counterparts.

Movable casework designs are usually done with BIM and CAD as per customer requirements. These are then assembled at the factory and shipped. When you receive your casework, you can simply install it wherever you want.

What sets movable casework apart is the fact that it can be assembled, disassembled and re-assembled without any hassle. Since it is not anchored permanently to the building floor, it can be packed up easily and shifted when the need arises.

Why are millwork cabinets being replaced by movable casework?

As you probably already know, millwork is embedded directly to your floor or wall. Since they are custom designed, they will have to torn out or forcefully removed every-time you decide to renovate or relocate.

Movable casework, on the other hand, has a pretty simple philosophy.

Planning to relocate? Pack, ship and go!

Deciding to change the interiors? No problem!

Want to get creative with your furniture? Do all you want!

The modular components of movable casework make it easy to reconfigure, relocate or modify your furniture to suit your needs better. In most cases, various components of movable casework are made with recycled materials. This means that not only you have an incredibly easy-going and flexible furniture; you also bear no guilt of environmental degradation!

Sounds good?

We thought so.

Movable casework is a boon for those of us who want to keep their installation or relocation as low-key as possible. We all know how much disturbance is created by constant drilling, fumes and shifting and moving of pieces; not to mention construction and remodeling expenses that you have to bear. Add moving electrical outlets and wiring and you will see how much of a hole is burnt in your pocket quickly.

There you go – no overhead expenses, no contractor costs and no disturbance.

Not yet convinced? Here are a few more reasons to consider movable casework for your next project:

• Consistency in modular cabinets Never mind the fact that your casework cabinets are movable; the upper and lower cabinets are manufactured precisely to match industry standards of cabinet sizes.

  

  Movable modular storage solutions are designed and manufactured with adjustable and changeable components for higher flexibility and convenient replacement in case some damage occurs.

Can BIM Revit help me design movable casework?

Building Information Modeling (BIM) allows designers to create three-dimensional models according to client-specific requirements; to ensure accurate and desirable drawings.

Moreover, budget can be a killer when it comes to ambitious projects. BIM models have smart budgeting options embedded which update pricing models automatically. This allows you to keep track of actual costs without waiting for feedback. Even if you are not a designer, you can use BIM web tools for filtering, quoting and comparing construction choices so that your project is effective, affordable and aesthetic.
