What Simple Homes does

Simple Homes, operating under the parent group SH Companies, is a Denver- and Longmont-based construction services and offsite manufacturing business founded in 2019 that delivers an integrated design, component manufacturing, and field installation platform for wood-frame construction. The group is organized into three wholly owned operating businesses: Rigid Component Systems (RCS), a Longmont, Colorado factory producing trusses, wall panels, and structural components; Simple Homes Studio, an in-house architectural design practice delivering schematic design, design development, and construction documents for custom homes, ADUs, and renovations; and SH Framing Solutions, which installs panelized wall and truss systems (including CLT and mass timber) for select multifamily projects along Colorado's Front Range.

The core technical platform is an integrated design-to-build pipeline in which architects, engineers, and production teams work in the same organization, allowing design decisions to be informed by manufacturing constraints and field execution requirements. RCS produces factory-built structural components in Longmont that are then transported and erected by SH Framing Solutions, with Simple Homes Studio feeding the pipeline with designs optimized for panelized construction. This closed-loop structure is intended to reduce on-site waste, compress schedules, and improve cost predictability relative to conventional stick-built workflows.

The company serves four primary customer segments: homebuilders and developers seeking faster wood-frame construction; general contractors needing precision framing installation for multifamily projects; multifamily developers requiring coordinated design, components, and installation; and individual homeowners commissioning custom homes, ADUs, and renovations. Revenue is generated through three distinct streams — hardware sales of manufactured components (RCS), professional architectural design services (Studio), and professional framing installation services (Framing Solutions) — with pricing delivered through a consultation-based, project-by-project quotation model rather than disclosed list pricing.
