Stack Homes is a leader in the modular construction industry, priding themselves on innovation, sustainability, and luxury-level quality. The company’s founding ethos is rooted in an eagerness to address evolving client needs and market trends.

For the better part of a century, construction has not seen a paradigm shift in its processes and operations. While this consistency can be viewed as reliability, it has unfortunately also cultivated inefficiencies, waste, and the often frustrating unpredictability of timelines and costs. Stack Homes has effectively eliminated these traditional construction challenges, acting as an all-inclusive home building service for its customers in the western U.S.

What makes the company stand out is its fusion of cutting-edge technology with streamlined construction methodologies. Its tech-enabled home-building approach ranges from crafting single-family homes to multifamily residences. Most notable is its volumetric steel building capabilities, where Stack Homes uses specialized 3D printers to convert architectural designs into steel structures. This method not only fast-tracks the building process but also guarantees the cost and timeline upfront.

“We are down to an average time of roughly six weeks per build,” says Sumner Douglas, CEO and founder of Stack Homes. “Our tools allow us to print a wide variety of structures using high-quality materials that will fit the needs of each client.”

These pre-cut steel structures lead to a tried and true build-by-number system, and in-house modular sub-component manufacturing streamlines potential bottlenecks. In this way, Stack Homes effectively marries technology and traditional labor.

Such technology addresses the two core challenges that riddle traditional construction—timeline unpredictability and rampant waste. Conventional construction produces substantial debris in the field, contributing significantly to the nation’s overall waste. With its refined processes, Stack Homes drastically reduces debris creation. Similarly, the team holds a staunch commitment to sustainability. Every element, from insulation to HVAC systems, is meticulously chosen to meet or even surpass the industry’s sustainability benchmarks. These homes are exclusively electric, boasting high insulation values for walls and roofs, aligning with the rising demand for sustainable, efficient living spaces.

Stack Homes isn’t merely a modular construction company; it’s a complete housing solution. Clients are invited into an in-depth discovery process to articulate the needs and constraints of their project, resulting in designs tailored for their vision. They are assured end-to-end service, from permitting to installation and final handover. This extensive support is especially beneficial in regions with limited labor pools, like the more rural regions of the West. Stack Homes is an invaluable resource in these markets, quickly manufacturing high-quality, sustainable homes.

One of the company’s most remarkable projects involved installing a unit in a ski town at an elevation of 8,500 feet in the thick of winter. The client’s specialized requirement was an Airbnb dwelling set up during snow-heavy January. Despite the cumulative 15 feet of snow, Stack Homes persevered, with one team shoveling snow and another installing the home. Traditional construction methods would have faltered in these conditions, but the team met the challenge head-on and ensured the rental was operational in time.

At the heart of Stack Homes is a mission to effect positive change by reshaping communities and investing in the future. By partnering with some of the largest homeless resolution organizations in the West to provide affordable and sustainable housing options, Stack Homes is laying the foundation for a brighter, inclusive tomorrow. This tech-enabled modular home builder represents a seismic shift in the construction landscape, redefining luxury, sustainability, and efficiency in a world desperately in need of all three.
