What We Do
CRATE’s modular manufacturing process delivers hybrid steel solutions
Build fast and build to last
CRATE makes development and construction of all building types faster and more affordable without sacrificing quality and craftsmanship.
Our innovative, factory-based construction method has far-reaching implications, helping meet the challenges facing the construction industry today, including the housing crisis and the rising costs of traditional building materials. We work with developers, architects, homeowners, municipalities, and facilities managers to provide the optimal modular building system for each project.
SUSTAINABLE MODULAR MANUFACTURING
Our modular building systems and cutting-edge factory processes reduce waste and minimize time to occupancy.
- CRATE modules can be used as building blocks, stacked and arranged to achieve a custom modular building design for commercial and residential construction within a shorter turnaround time.
- We work with developers, architects, homeowners, municipalities, and facilities managers to provide the optimal modular building system for each project.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY
All CRATE buildings exceed California's high standards for energy consumption and include high R-values and some of the most energy efficient mechanical and lighting systems available on the market.
Strong Structure
The steel in CRATE’s modular building components is more than 100 times stronger than the construction material in typical stick-built California multifamily homes.
VERSATILITY
CRATE products can be deployed for a variety of building uses and types: commercial to multifamily housing and beyond.
SUSTAINABLE
Modular building is cleaner and more efficient than stick built. Quick installation of buildings means less disruption to the community and less waste produced on site.
