This parallel approach to constructing the building will reduce the overall construction period dramatically - typically by 50% or more.
Capsys modular units contain a suite of noncombustible materials including structural steel, light gauge steel framing and concrete floor structures. We meet or exceed building code requirements in all Northeastern States. Prior projects have attained advanced LEED certifications.

When your campus requires expanded residence space quickly and of the highest quality, please call Capsys.
