RedBuilt

What RedBuilt does

RedBuilt, headquartered in Boise, Idaho, designs, manufactures, and delivers patented engineered wood structural products for commercial and industrial construction across the United States. The company's product portfolio spans open-web trusses (Red-S, Red-L, Red-W, Red-M series), Red-I I-joists, RedLam Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL), prefabricated wall panels, glulam beams, concrete forming/shoring systems, and a newer Hybrid Mass Timber line targeting mid-rise construction. Manufacturing is performed at four ISO 9001-certified plants in Chino (CA), Delaware (OH), Hillsboro (OR), and Stayton (OR), complemented by design centers that provide engineering support, BIM object libraries, RedSpec sizing software, and FloorChoice vibration ratings to assist architects and engineers during specification.

The company operates a sales-led, project-based go-to-market model in which technical sales representatives collaborate directly with architects, engineers, and contractors from early design through jobsite delivery. Pricing is custom-quoted per project via Product Proposals/Purchase Agreements, with multi-year contract cadences and interest charges on past-due accounts. Revenue is generated almost entirely through one-time product sales (structural components manufactured to project specifications), with no subscription, licensing, or recurring revenue model. Customers span low-rise commercial segments including education (schools, universities), retail, office, hospitality, multifamily, light industrial/warehousing, and places of worship, with growing exposure to mid-rise mass timber projects.

RedBuilt was acquired by Hampton Lumber Mills, Inc. in January 2024, following prior ownership by Atlas Holdings (which formed the company in 2009 from Weyerhaeuser's Trus Joist commercial division). The business traces its lineage over 60 years in engineered wood. As of June 2025, Ted Osterberger serves as CEO following the retirement of Don Schwabe. The company is a subsidiary of Hampton Lumber, a fourth-generation family-owned forest products company with ten sawmills across Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia employing approximately 1,700 people.
