For contractors working in healthcare facilities, containment is a necessity. It protects patients, supports infection control, and ensures regulatory compliance. But what many contractors overlook is that the right containment system can also strengthen their bottom line.
While temporary construction walls are typically viewed as an expense, reusable ICRA-compliant barriers from Rapid Room can turn this part of your project into a long-term asset. With faster installation, lower labor costs, and the ability to reuse the same system across multiple jobs, Rapid Room helps contractors reduce waste and improve profitability.
Save Time with Faster Installation
Installing traditional containment using drywall is a time-consuming process. Crews must frame, hang, tape, mud, and sand the walls, which can stretch the installation across multiple days. Each additional hour spent on setup increases labor costs and extends project timelines.
Rapid Room simplifies this. Its modular panels are designed for rapid deployment, allowing teams to install full enclosures in a fraction of the time. One or two crew members can set up a clean, professional-looking barrier in under an hour with basic tools.
This faster setup means projects start sooner, complete faster, and require fewer labor hours—all of which contribute to a stronger return on each job.
Lower Costs with Fewer Trades
Drywall containment often requires specialized labor and coordination between trades. Demolition crews, finishers, painters, and cleaners may all need to be scheduled before and after the job, increasing labor costs and complexity.
In contrast, Rapid Room panels are easy to install, remove, and store without the need for skilled drywall installers or extensive clean-up. With a small crew, you can complete containment in a single mobilization. This reduces the number of subcontractors on-site and minimizes scheduling conflicts, resulting in smoother, more efficient projects.
Reuse That Pays for Itself
The most significant financial benefit of reusable containment is just that—it can be used again and again. While drywall must be demolished and discarded after each project, Rapid Room panels are built for repeated use. Many contractors recoup their initial investment within just a few deployments.
Over time, the cost per project drops significantly. What starts as an upfront capital expense quickly becomes a profit center as your team uses the same equipment across dozens of jobs without additional material costs.
Reduce Waste and Avoid Disposal Fees
Beyond the labor and material costs, drywall containment generates significant waste. Every project ends with demolition, cleanup, and hauling, adding environmental impact and disposal expenses.
Rapid Room helps you avoid this waste entirely. There is no demolition phase, and no materials are sent to the landfill. This not only supports your sustainability goals but also avoids tipping fees and post-project clean-up costs.
A Better Experience for Your Clients
In healthcare environments, perception matters. Loud, dusty setups made from wood and gypsum can disrupt daily operations and create a negative experience for staff and patients. Rapid Room panels provide a clean, quiet, and professional-looking barrier that supports infection control and minimizes noise.
This improves your reputation with clients and helps you stand out in a competitive market. A smoother, cleaner project is more likely to lead to repeat business and referrals.
Final Thoughts: Containment Can Be Profitable
Too often, temporary containment is treated as a sunk cost. But with Rapid Room, it becomes a smart investment. You spend less time setting up, reduce labor and material costs, and get more value from a system that pays for itself over time.
