Salt Lake City—Stack Homes, a Salt Lake City based modular home and accessory dwelling unit builder, has completed the acquisition of Modules, LLC to expand its manufacturing capabilities.

The new manufacturing division, known as Stack Modular Development, will be producing its Stack Homes models as well as modular buildings for large scale residential developments and commercial projects.

In addition to the acquisition, the company recently moved into a new 80,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Salt Lake City, Utah. This location, with the build out of tech-enabled state-of-the-art production lines, will allow the company to produce over 620 homes per year. It also grants Stack Homes space to offer a beautiful design showroom in the future for clients to tour the manufacturing process and view completed homes.

An example of the pioneering technology Stack Modular Development will be implementing includes a system similar to 3-D printing that can precision cut steel with accuracy to 1/4th of a centimeter to build the structural envelope of the building in less than a day. In addition, a laser guided assembly system allows operators to quickly and accurately sequence work and position components.

Stack Homes was founded by Sumner Douglas in 2019. As a former venture capitalist and entrepreneur, Douglas’ saw an opportunity to advance the construction industry through technology using modern design and sustainable practices. He focused his efforts on creating efficiently designed spaces that were both beautiful, functional, and quick to market.

“It has been in our plans to bring manufacturing in-house to deliver the best quality and timelines to our clients,” says Stack Homes founder and CEO, Sumner Douglas. He continues,”The acquisition of Modules provides a next-level opportunity to also allow us to expand our product offerings to provide modular solutions in more areas of the housing industry. This knowledgeable team, combined with cutting edge technology enhancements we are outfitting in our new factory, will make us one of the most capable modular builders in the country.” 

One of the notable development projects that is currently in production are affordable homes for The Other Side Village, a homeless resolution project in Salt Lake City, that will have up to 300 homes in a master-planned support community that is sustained through internal social enterprise.

Modular construction has been championed as a priority solution across many western states this legislative session as governments are looking for ways to ramp up their housing inventories. Stack Homes modular dwellings can be constructed in less than half the time of on-site construction, cost-effectively, in factory-controlled settings for year round production, and with 90% less waste. Stack Homes builds to LEED certified and passive home standards for highly energy-efficient homes.
