🏗️ Build something from the ground up — literally.

US Modular Systems, Inc. is a light gauge steel (LGS) manufacturing startup launching a 51,000+ SF industrial facility in Brookshire, TX.

We have pre-committed revenue from Day 1, a clear roadmap to scale, and a leadership team with 40+ years of Texas real estate, construction, and capital markets experience. Production begins January 2027. We're hiring now.
