How We Work
CRATE streamlines the modular construction process for shorter time to occupancy
Modular construction solutions for all types of projects
CRATE works with architects, developers, municipalities, and school operators to save time and money by shortening time from design to occupancy. Our sustainable approach eliminates workflow inefficiencies, reduces waste, and significantly shortens the development cycle compared to conventional site-built construction.
Our Process
We have years of experience in a diverse projects of all sizes, complexities and construction sectors. CRATE's goal is to bring cost efficient, high quality, problem free building solutions to each of our clients. We bring a deep background in state permitting and construction processes to expedite these projects to occupancy. Our modular construction modules can be delivered to a construction site in a matter of weeks.
ProductsA CONSULTATIVE APPROACH TO MODULAR CONSTRUCTION
CRATE supports your architect, general contractor, or builder at each step of the process.
Design-assist
Design-assist
The CRATE team collaborates with your design team during the design phase to ensure that your project can be professionally built in our factory. We provide details and assemblies to your design team and perform plan reviews for constructability, factory efficiencies and price during design.
Permitting
Permitting
Our buildings are permitted at the state level, overseen by Housing and Community Development (HCD) in Sacramento. We have a successful track record for getting modular buildings state-approved within weeks of submittal. Your project will still need to go through local planning and zoning processes, and any work on site will need to be reviewed and approved locally.
Manufacturing
Manufacturing
All CRATE buildings are fabricated in our climate-controlled factory in California. Our industrialized construction methods prioritize speed and accuracy, using both recycled shipping containers and light-gauge steel as sustainable building components.
Installation
Installation
We deliver modules to your site for installation by your contractor. Our factory is close to Southern California job sites and ports, making logistics easier. Faster delivery means fewer delays and less risk of damage during transport.
