Beyond California

Modular construction
across the United States.

We deliver to qualifying U.S. projects outside California. The math depends on your project size, scope, and what conventional construction currently costs in your market.

The Simple Rule

If your market is over $200 per SF,
modular probably pencils.

If conventional construction for an apartment building or hotel in your market currently costs more than $200 per square foot, our factory plus freight math generally beats local site-built cost with room to spare. Below that threshold, the savings narrow and the freight component matters more, especially for projects far from the West Coast.

The $200 number is a guide, not a rule. Project size, building type, local labor availability, and entitlement timing can all move the line. Call us and we will tell you honestly within one business day.

Quick Check

Does conventional construction in your market currently cost more than $200 per square foot for apartments or hotels?

If yes, give us a call. The math almost certainly works.

When Modular Pencils

Three signals to watch.

Any one of these is enough to start the conversation. Two or three together is a strong indication modular will outperform conventional construction on your project.

Local construction over $200 / SF

If conventional apartments or hotels in your market currently cost more than $200 per square foot to build, the factory plus freight math generally beats local site-built cost with margin to spare.

Project at meaningful scale

Modular pencils best at 20+ multifamily units, 50+ hotel keys, 10+ townhouses, or 10+ single-family homes. Smaller portfolios are harder to amortize across factory mobilization and ocean freight.

Reasonable distance from a U.S. port

The closer your project is to a U.S. port, the more straightforward the freight math. We can deliver via any port - Pacific, Gulf, or East Coast - and use rail in combination with truck under the right conditions for inland projects. East Coast and Midwest projects often still pencil when port and rail options are factored in early.

Where It Typically Works

Markets where the math usually adds up.

Not every market is a fit, and the list below is not exhaustive. We are happy to evaluate any state, but these regions tend to clear the bar most easily.

Pacific Northwest

Washington, Oregon, Idaho

Comparable freight to California. High-cost Seattle and Portland markets are particularly strong fits.

Mountain West

Colorado, Utah, Montana, Wyoming

Front Range, Park City, and resort markets where conventional labor is constrained and expensive.

Hawaii

All islands

Ocean freight is comparable to California delivered cost. Local construction premium is among the highest in the country.

Northeast

NY, NJ, MA, CT, MD, DC

Road-transport premium added, but local labor costs and entitlement timelines make the math work on most multifamily and hospitality projects.

Southeast

Florida, Georgia, North Carolina

High-growth markets with hospitality and workforce-housing demand. Project-by-project on freight cost.

Resort and labor-constrained markets

Nationwide

Tourism and seasonal-labor markets often face conventional construction delays and premiums. Worth a conversation regardless of state.

Nationwide FAQ

Questions from outside California.

Yes. We deliver to qualifying projects in any U.S. state. The math depends on two variables: the local cost of conventional construction in your market, and the road-transport distance from our West Coast port of entry. We tell you honestly during early conversations whether modular will pencil for your specific project.

If conventional construction for your project type (apartment, hotel, townhouse, single-family at scale) currently costs more than $200 per square foot in your market, modular generally pencils. Below that threshold, the cost gap between local labor and our delivered cost narrows enough that the savings may not justify the freight premium for projects far from the West Coast port. The threshold is a rough guide, not a rule. A larger project, a more complex assembly, or a labor-constrained market can move the line.

Modular construction pencils best at scale. Typical thresholds: multifamily 20+ units, hotels 50+ keys, townhouse portfolios 10+ units, single-family developments 10+ homes. Below those sizes the per-unit factory mobilization and freight cost gets harder to amortize. We can discuss specific project sizes during early scoping.

Modules arrive by container vessel at the U.S. port that best matches your project location - Pacific, Gulf, or East Coast - then move by truck to the site. Road transport is roughly $21 per loaded mile per module. For inland projects, rail in combination with truck can extend reach under the right conditions. We provide a delivered, fixed-price number during early scoping so the freight component is never a surprise.

High-cost coastal markets: Washington, Oregon, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Washington DC, Florida. High-cost mountain and resort markets: Colorado Front Range, Park City, Jackson Hole, Aspen, Lake Tahoe. Island markets: Hawaii. Labor-constrained markets where conventional construction is delayed or unreliable. We are happy to talk through any market - we route through the U.S. port that best fits your project location.

Send us your project. We do not need a complete brief. A site address, a building type, an approximate unit or key count, and your conventional cost benchmark for that market are enough to tell you within one business day whether modular will pencil.
