THE LEADING EDGE IN BUILDING TECHNOLOGY
Since 1989, Modu Tech has provided general contractors along the East Coast with unmatched turnkey carpentry solutions, combining raw manufacturing power with precision field craftsmanship.
From Houston Roots to East Coast Scale
Founded in 1986 in Houston, Texas, by Ed Heil and Rick Hughes, Modu Tech has evolved into one of the region’s premier commercial framing contractors. Rooted in deep generational expertise, we navigated the late-80s oil crisis by adapting our strategy to execute high-efficiency subcontracting nationwide. A complex, space-constrained project in Washington, D.C., sparked a pivotal breakthrough: Ed introduced off-site wall panel fabrication to bypass traditional site limitations.
Building on that innovation, we anchored our operations in Baltimore in 1990, securing our headquarters at 1200 East Patapsco Avenue. Recognizing a critical market gap, Modu Tech quickly evolved from a simple labor contractor into an industry pioneer—manufacturing our own wall panels, floor trusses, and roof trusses under a single, unified, true turnkey contract.
Today, with nearly 40 years of experience, we provide a distinct competitive advantage. Backed by an elite pre-construction planning process, expert trade coordination, and our strategic manufacturing partnership with Stark Truss Baltimore, we eliminate material conflicts and reduce site labor waste before a single crew member arrives on-site.
“While multi-billion dollar retail suppliers attempt to expand into field services, Modu Tech’s true competitive advantage remains
our 40 years of specialized multi-family framing expertise, rigorous pre-construction engineering, and dedicated on-site project supervision.”
