"Modular is a method, not a type." Kam Valgardson says this often, because it clears up the most common misunderstanding we run into.

People hear modular and picture a kind of building. A box. A temporary classroom. Something you can spot from the street.

Modular is a delivery method. The building is whatever was designed, whether that is a four-story apartment building in a historic district or a set of resort cabins near Yosemite. What changes is where and when the work happens.

So the better question to ask about your project is whether it benefits from moving the work into a factory. That usually means repeatable units, a schedule with real cost attached to slipping, and a site where labor is scarce or disruption is expensive.

Big Sky, Montana is a hard place to build. Labor is limited, construction costs run high, and the build season is short.

Yellowtail is a development of duplexes there, near the golf course and town center. 22 modules, two floors, and an architectural brief that did not bend: large structural spans, dormers, and intricate rooflines.

Those complex elements were built into the modules in the factory. Select high-end finishes were completed locally. That split was deliberate. The hardest, most labor-intensive work happened where the labor was, and local crews took the finish work that benefits from being on site.

The project was designed as a repeatable model for resort markets that share the same constraints.

Winter in the Mountain West does not stop a factory.

A site-built schedule has to absorb the weather. Snow days, frozen ground, materials that can't get wet, crews that can't safely work. Every lost day is a day of carrying cost that nobody put in the pro forma.

Kam Valgardson keeps this one short: "No weather delays."

Our modules are built indoors in Spanish Fork, Utah, whatever is happening outside. On The Other Side Prep School in Salt Lake City, the 32 apartments were never exposed to rain, snow, or sun during construction.

To be straight about it: the site still needs a foundation, and foundations still care about the weather. What changes is how much of the building is waiting on it.

The objection we hear most about modular in a historic district: it will look like modular.

The Other Side Prep School in Salt Lake City sits in a historic district with real design review. The finished building wears brick and Hardie cladding with storefront glazing. All of it went on after the modules were set, and it met the historic district approvals.

What the street sees is a four-story building that fits the block. What it never saw was 48 modules set in four days in October 2025, or 32 two-bedroom apartments that were never exposed to rain, snow, or sun during construction.

The structure came from the factory. The facade was designed for the neighborhood. Treating those as two separate decisions is how a modular building gets through design review.

The most expensive time to call a modular manufacturer is after your drawings are done.

Module sizes, where one module meets the next, how the stairs and elevator stack: those decisions shape the whole building. Made early, they cost very little. Made after the construction documents are drawn for site-built, they mean redrawing, and redrawing means months.

Months are the part that shows up in the pro forma. Every one of them carries financing cost on a building that is not yet earning.

Kam Valgardson's rule: "The sooner we can be involved, the better."

Four signs modular is the wrong call for your project.

Every floor is different. The factory earns its keep through repetition. A building where no two floors match pays for a production line it never really uses.

A crane can't reach the site. No crane, no set. This rules out more remote and constrained sites than people expect.

The project is under about 20 modules. Mobilization and set costs get spread too thin to pencil.

Your construction documents are months deep and drawn for site-built. Converting late usually costs more than it saves.

Kam Valgardson, our President, says it in six words: "Make sure the project fits the factory."

That’s a wrap on Glamping Show Americas 2026!
We brought the Skyview 400 and Sweaty Yeti Sauna to Colorado and had the opportunity to show both units to people from across the outdoor hospitality industry.
There’s a big difference between seeing a floor plan or photo and actually stepping inside, walking the space, and experiencing the build for yourself. We loved getting to do exactly that with everyone who stopped by.
Thank you to everyone who toured the units, asked questions, and connected with our team. We’re heading home with some great conversations and plenty of ideas for what’s next.
Couldn’t make it to the show? We’d still love to show you what Irontown Modular and Sweaty Yeti can bring to your property.

The most expensive month on a commercial project is usually the one nobody planned for.

It's rarely the build itself that blows a budget. It's the extra month of financing, the extra month of an empty building not generating revenue, the extra month a GC's crew sits idle waiting on a delayed trade.

Kam Valgardson's line on it: "There's more to the bottom line than just the hard cost."

Running the factory and the site in parallel doesn't just compress the schedule. It removes entire categories of that kind of cost before they happen.

We’re bringing two of our favorites to Colorado. 👀

Irontown Modular is headed to Glamping Show Americas, September 29–30 in Aurora, and we’re bringing a Skyview 400 and Sweaty Yeti Sauna with us.

If you’ve been curious about our units, this is your chance to actually step inside, experience the space, see the quality up close, and talk with our team about what could work for your property.

And there’s plenty more to see while you’re there. Glamping Show Americas brings together structures, products, ideas, and people from across the outdoor hospitality industry, all in one place.

📍 Arapahoe County Fairgrounds | Aurora, Colorado
📅 September 29–30

Come find Irontown Modular and Sweaty Yeti at the show. We’d love to meet you and show you around.

Genuine question for anyone running a commercial development right now: is time actually a cost factor on your project, or is it being treated like a fixed variable nobody's pricing?

Kam Valgardson asks developers this directly: "Is time a cost factor, and is it being considered?"

Most of the time the honest answer is yes, and most of the time it isn't in the model. Financing cost, a seasonal opening date, a lease that starts accruing whether or not the building is ready: those are real dollars, not abstractions.
