Understanding Stack Modular’s Project Scope: Commercial vs. Residential

Written by Admin | Jul 9, 2026 5:05:25 PM

At Stack Modular, we specialize in high-output, structural steel modular construction. To ensure we provide the highest level of efficiency and cost-savings for our clients, we focus strictly on large-scale developments.

 

What is Stack Modular’s Minimum Project Size?

We are a B2B manufacturer designed for volume. We do not accept projects for individual single-family homes, private residential lots, or small-scale custom builds (1-off houses). Our facility is optimized for:

  • Multi-family Developments: Apartment complexes, social housing, and student residences.
  • Hospitality: Large-scale hotels and resort developments.
  • Resource & Workforce Housing: Large-scale accommodations for the mining and energy sectors.
  • Commercial/Institutional: Senior living facilities and healthcare complexes.

Why We Don't Build Single-Family Homes

Modular construction offers the most value through repetition and scale. Because our process uses high-grade structural steel and advanced factory engineering, the "set-up" costs for a single home are not cost-effective for a private homeowner. We partner exclusively with developers, architects, and general contractors who are looking to build 20+ units or large-scale commercial structures.

Summary of Exclusions

If you are looking for the following, Stack Modular is not the right partner:

  • Single-family detached houses or "tiny homes."
  • Laneway houses or backyard suites.
  • Individual custom home designs on private lots.
  • Projects with fewer than 10 building keys.
