A bit about us

We are the prime manufacturer in the Design Manufacture Construct (DMC) system. We manufacture buildings in chunks that can be transported and assembled on site into complex buildings quickly. We have over 700 employees, eleven production lines and have experienced significant growth through 2023.

DMC is a building delivery system that uses powerful design to leverage manufacturing productivity so that construction is simple.

Our vision is to create an industry without silos that does more with less, beautifully. Our mission is to make things that strengthen our clients, enhance our communities and advance our professions, and our goal is (build the machine to) make buildings twice as good, twice as fast, and with twice the value of those made by anyone anywhere - 2x2x2 +fun.

We are both service and product, and our staff includes cross-trained specialists in architecture, engineering, industrial design, programming, technology, digital fabrication, manufacturing, and construction. Rather than trying to keep up with the pack, we are making the one the pack will follow.

Why join us

We offer the full spectrum of comprehensive benefits including: health, dental, and vision insurance. We also offer flexible spending accounts, paid time off, short term disability, long term disability, life insurance and a 401k plan.
