Custom Modular Construction Experts in California
Since 1981, Meehleis Modular Buildings, Inc. has established itself as California's premier modular construction company. Founded by industry pioneer Bill Meehleis, who entered the field in 1966, we have consistently pushed the boundaries of modular construction through innovation and expertise. Our family-owned business combines the personalized service of a small company with the capabilities of a large-scale enterprise, delivering high-quality, cost-effective solutions across California and Nevada. With a 10-acre facility strategically located near major highways, we specialize in permanent modular construction for education, government, and commercial sectors. Our team of designers, engineers, and project managers provides end-to-end coordination from project inception to completion.We pioneered groundbreaking features like pitched roofs and clerestory windows in modular classrooms, now industry standards. Our commitment to excellence extends to specialized projects including hardened structures meeting Anti-Terrorism Force Protection requirements. As California's first grid-neutral modular manufacturer since 2010, we lead sustainable construction with a 191-kilowatt solar farm and 90% waste diversion rate. We maintain active memberships in CHPS and USGBC, ensuring our buildings exceed energy efficiency standards while offering LEED-certified options. Our comprehensive approach includes DSA-approved designs, metal structures, and photovoltaic integration, serving diverse needs from single classrooms to complete campuses.

Report
I worked for a company that transported their buildings to jobsites and interacted with all of their their people from top to bottom and found all of them to be most friendly and professional people you would ever want to be associated with. Always found they treated all of their people like family. First class organization. Amazing people.
