Irontown Modular · Employee and Workforce Housing

Modular Employee Housing for Resorts, Schools and Employers

Factory modules set by crane on foundations provide housing for staff, from sleep-and-bath units and stacked studios to four-story apartment buildings. They serve resorts, schools, hospitals, towns and employers whose staff cannot find housing near work.

Irontown Modular builds them. My Cozy Outdoors quotes them and is your one contact from first question to keys.

Does this housing fit your staff and site?

These five cards help you quickly decide whether this page is for you.

How small can your project be?

No project is too small to ask about. Irontown has built one school home, stacked studios, rows of units and a four-story building with 32 apartments.

Where can Irontown build?

Irontown builds in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Wyoming.

How long does it take?

Allow about five to seven months from the Feasibility Review to the set, plus local permit review.

What does your general contractor build?

Your contractor separately prices foundation, utilities, access, grading, stairs, decks, common areas, any lobby or connector, closing the seams between modules and finish work at your construction site.

What happens next?

My Cozy Outdoors starts your conversation and quotes your project. You confirm land use and density with the local planning office.

Prefab home pages by state: California · Utah · Oregon · Arizona · Colorado · Idaho · Montana · Wyoming · Nevada.

Irontown uses engineered, stamped plans your local building department reviews for permits. Each building meets the same building code as a site-built building of the same size and is not a HUD-code manufactured home. On this page, prefab and modular mean the same thing. On its foundation, it becomes permanent, permitted and inspected like any other building.

Who builds staff housing with Irontown?

Your employee housing solutions from Irontown can start with one home or grow into a building with multiple apartments.

The back-to-back studio plan gives 360 sq ft and an on-site deck. The Emergency Sleeping Cabins, under a California state contract, hold one or two beds per room, with optional bathrooms and showers. Irontown adapts every plan to your site and program. A single staff home can start from the Thatcher plan.

Your project timeline

Irontown lists about five to seven months from the Feasibility Review to the set. Local permit review adds time. Site readiness and permit or construction delays can move your schedule.

The My Cozy Outdoors quote covers Irontown’s modules, delivery and crane set. Your general contractor separately prices the site work and completion described above. Your city or county sets permit, plan review and impact fees. The quote works the same for a developer, employer or agency.

Ask for a budget estimate

Your site and access

Your city or county decides land use, density and setbacks. Confirm these with the local planning office before ordering. Your contractor builds the foundation, utilities, access, grading, exterior stairs, decks, common areas and any lobby or connector. After the set, your contractor closes the seams and finishes the building.

Your site needs space for a crane and a truck route for oversized loads. Before drawings begin, the Feasibility Review includes virtual reviews of crane placement, staging and the route. Repeating and stacking sleep units or studios allows expansion after your first phase.

Ask about your site

Set before the snow flies

Irontown’s factory in Spanish Fork, Utah, builds indoors through winter. Foundation work, utilities, access and the crane set depend on seasonal conditions. Recorded mountain projects include Aspen, Vail, Jackson Hole, Salt Lake City and resort cabins in Montana.

Irontown reports that TOSA’s modules never encountered rain, snow or sun. Tenaya’s cabins were delivered and set in phases around seasonal access and weather. Count back about five to seven months plus local permit review, so a spring start aims at a fall set.

Questions about housing for staff

What is modular employee housing?

Irontown builds housing for staff as factory modules using stamped plans. A crane sets them on a foundation your contractor builds. Options include sleep-and-bath units, studios, stacked units and apartment buildings up to four stories. My Cozy Outdoors quotes your project. Portable workforce housing and mobile workforce housing usually mean relocatable units. Irontown builds permanent buildings and offers its sleep units and studios on a chassis or off.

What is workforce housing, and how is it different from employee housing?

Workforce housing is priced for people who work in an area, such as a teacher, nurse or resort worker. Housing for employees is provided or arranged by their employer. Irontown has built both. This page covers workforce housing solutions for your organization as the buyer.

How does modular housing work for a multi-unit building?

Modular workforce housing is built in a factory while your site is prepared. For TOSA, Irontown built modules while the site was prepared, then set and joined them by crane. Irontown lists 12-month total delivery and 7 months on site. Double-structure assemblies between apartments exceeded the acoustic requirement. Each module had 551 quality control points. The building includes an elevator and commercial-grade cladding.

Is it cheaper to build or get a modular?

Factory work and site work happen at the same time. Framing and interior work take place indoors without weather exposure. Irontown reports that TOSA’s units never encountered rain, snow or sun. The crane set takes days, closing in the building sooner and reducing your contractor’s months on site.

What are the disadvantages of modular?

Your site needs crane access and a route for oversized loads. Module dimensions shape your plan. Common areas, lobbies and site work add contractor scope and time. Some lenders are less familiar with modular construction. The Feasibility Review covers crane placement and the delivery route.

How fast can we house staff?

Irontown’s listed durations total about five to seven months from the Feasibility Review to the set, with local permit review additional. Irontown reports that TOSA’s modules were set October 2025 and occupied January 2026.

What unit types and sizes are available?

Modular housing units from Irontown come in four sizes. Sleep-and-bath units offer 188 sq ft, with ADA, standard and convertible options that stack into a prefab dormitory. Studios offer 360 sq ft, singly or back-to-back. Irontown lists 32 two-bedroom apartments at TOSA. The four-story center-corridor building offers one- and two-bedroom apartments with common areas.

Plan pages: Sleep Unit Duplex: Employee and Emergency Housing Plan · Sleep Unit Fourplex: Employee and Emergency Housing Plan · Back-to-Back Studio Plan for Employee Housing · Emergency Sleeping Cabins, California State Contract.

Can a public agency or school buy this?

California’s sleeping cabins are under DGS contract 1-23-54-01E for eligible ordering agencies. Irontown built Salt Lake City’s apartment building, duplex and fourplex for a supportive housing neighborhood. The Thatcher School has an Irontown staff home. My Cozy Outdoors discusses project fit and quotes. The agency’s purchasing office decides how it buys.

Can the building be set in winter?

The factory builds through winter, while site work and the crane set depend on seasonal conditions. Irontown reports TOSA’s set in October 2025 and occupancy in January 2026. Tenaya’s cabins were set in phases around seasonal access. Plan about five to seven months plus local permit review.
