Benefits of Modular Casework
Adaptability
One of the most significant advantages of modular office casework is its adaptability. The system’s modular nature allows for easy reconfiguration, making it ideal for spaces requiring frequent changes or adjustments. The components are built to be adjustable and can be easily replaced if needed. The modular casework can be moved around or relocated because it is not permanently attached to the building.
Efficiency and Organization
The design of modular casework prioritizes efficiency by optimizing space utilization. The system can be configured to maximize storage capacity, streamline workflow, and enhance organization. It offers tailored storage and organization solutions, including cabinets, shelves, drawers, and work surfaces, optimizing vertical and horizontal space use. Modular casework utilizes every inch of space effectively, resulting in a more productive and clutter-free environment.
Ease of Installation
Modular casework is designed for easy installation and modifications. The components are pre-engineered and factory-built, reducing installation time and disruptions. Modular cabinets install without noisy and dusty construction work, causing minimal disruption to your workflow.
Customization
Modular casework offers a high level of customization, enabling designers and users to tailor the system to specific requirements. Modular casework systems offer personalized solutions for storage needs. They can be customized with different dimensions, finishes, and storage options to match individual preferences and functional requirements.
Sustainability
Modular casework stands out as a sustainable choice in an era of heightened environmental consciousness. Repurposing and reusing casework components minimizes the environmental impact and landfill waste. Additionally, modular casework cabinets are made with recycled content, and modular casework is LEED and Greenguard Children & Schools certified.
Cost Effectiveness
Despite its initial higher cost, modular office casework is often a better long-term option than traditional built-in millwork. Prefabricated components cut labor and installation time, while reconfigurable casework reduces replacement costs. Modular casework has a seven-year tax depreciation instead of a 39-year depreciation for built-in millwork.

Modular Casework v. Traditional Millwork
While modular casework and built-in millwork serve the same functions, there are some key differences to consider when designing your facility.
Modular casework:
- Pre-made parts are delivered and put together on-site, causing little disturbance to the facility
- High level of flexibility and adaptability, with modular components that can be easily modified or rearranged
- Can be reused and relocated, contributing to sustainable building design
- Offers a wide range of pre-designed options and configurations
- Typically more expensive initially, but with potential labor cost savings and long-term savings due to its reusability
- Deters landfill waste
- seven-year furniture tax depreciation
Traditional millwork:
- Custom-built cabinetry constructed on-site, with a longer and more disruptive installation process
- Built-in system is difficult to modify once installed
- Cannot be reused or relocated
- Custom-built on-site according to specific project requirements
- Typically less expensive for small, complex projects
- Increases landfill waste
- 39-year tax depreciation since it is classified as permanent construction

Business Testimonials
“Working with Southwest Solutions including Matt, Susan, and especially Brad was great. They provide amazing customer service. Brad and the install team were especially great. Very professional, easy to work with, and did the work quickly and very well with very little input from us. If we need help with carousel storage moves, parts, or new equipment we will start with Southwest Solutions. ”
“The team at Southwest Solutions were nothing short of fantastic. First meeting with Craig, I received a customized design, in person, based on my office needs while still maintaining an efficient layout and being cost effective. Craig explained everything clearly, allowing me to understand that as modular mill-work, I would be able to move it if I ever changed offices, but without the added sales pressure to immediately make a decision. Once I had decided, I worked with Chris who assisted in picking out the finishes and scheduling the delivery and installation. The professionalism of Craig and Chris spoke volumes and I would highly recommend anyone looking to transform or fit-out an office to contact Southwest Solutions.”
“I want to let you know that we all really appreciated your team mentality, professionalism and dedication shown on this project. It was a pleasure working with you and your office and we look forward to many more. Please pass along my gratitude to everyone who worked on this project. Thanks! ”
“I just want to take a minute to let you know how good of a job your install crew did yesterday. They were quick, fast, courteous and very consensus during the install. They were awesome to say the least. Being in the service business ourselves, we know that you can never hear the words “Good Job” often enough. Please pass this along to your crew.”
