Public Restroom Company

What Public Restroom Company does

Public Restroom Company (PRC) is a U.S. design-build firm that engineers, prefabricates and installs modular public restrooms and ancillary buildings for parks, recreation, sports, campground, marina and government end markets. Founded in 2002 by Chuck Kaufman and headquartered in Minden, Nevada, PRC operates two manufacturing facilities (Minden, NV and Aumsville, OR) plus an administrative office in Reno, NV, with OSHA-certified installation crews delivering nationwide. The firm is family-owned, transitioning in 2019 to second-generation leadership under President Chad Kaufman and COO Katie Kaufman-Sherin.

PRC's core technology is CMU (concrete masonry unit) block construction on 8-inch engineered concrete mat slabs using a proprietary concrete additive that makes floors and walls water-resistant, non-staining and odor-free. The platform differentiates on durability via three tiers of vandal-resistant roof systems (LVR, MVR, HVR), custom-fabricated 14-gauge hollow metal doors weighing 46% more than stock equivalents, prison-grade 316 stainless steel fixtures, and a four-tier restroom series (Playground, Sports Park, Stadium, Family) expandable via concession (CN-1 to CN-3), shower (SH-2, SH-4), storage (ST-6 to ST-10), and specialty add-on modules. Factory-controlled modular construction enables drop-in crane-lift installation within hours and 3-5 day nationwide project completion, supported by an industry-leading 20-year structural / 5-year parts warranty.

PRC's commercial model is project-based quoting delivered through direct enterprise field sales to municipal, parks and recreation, and government buyers, supplemented by cooperative purchasing contracts with Sourcewell (#081721-PRM) and BuyBoard (#592-19) that enable procurement without competitive bidding. Project documentation (notably the San Francisco 'Toiletgate' comparison) indicates prefab pricing meaningfully below equivalent site-built construction. Customers are predominantly public-sector agencies across at least nine U.S. states; channel diversification is reinforced by NRPA and Modular Building Institute industry memberships and a March 2024 high-visibility partnership with Volumetric Building Companies on an urban-infill restroom.

Direct peers

• KwikSpace Modular Buildings: KwikSpace manufactures and rents prefabricated modular buildings for government, commercial, and industrial uses. It competes with PRC in the prefab building space for similar public-sector buyers, though it is broader in scope and more focused on portable/modular offices.
• Vanguard Modular Buildings Systems: Vanguard Modular provides permanent and temporary modular buildings for commercial, educational, and government customers. It serves overlapping buyer segments (government, institutions) with modular construction that can compete with PRC for certain public-infrastructure projects.
• Satellite Industries: Satellite Industries manufactures portable restrooms, restroom trailers, and sanitation equipment. It overlaps with PRC in the public restroom space for parks, events, and government, but its core business is portable rather than permanent modular construction.
• PolyJohn Enterprises: PolyJohn designs and manufactures portable and semi-permanent restroom and sanitation solutions, including restroom trailers and portable restrooms. It overlaps with PRC on serving parks, events, and government buyers but skews toward portable/trailer-based rather than permanent modular buildings.
• Romtec Inc. Romtec designs, manufactures, and supplies public-use buildings including restrooms, concession stands, and shower facilities for parks and recreation. It is the closest direct competitor to PRC, serving the same municipal and government buyers with a comparable prefab product line.
• CXT Concrete Buildings (Oldcastle Infrastructure): CXT, a brand of Oldcastle Infrastructure, manufactures precast concrete restroom, shower, and utility buildings for parks, campgrounds, and rest areas. It competes head-to-head with PRC on prefab concrete public buildings for government and recreational end markets.

Broad incumbents

• Oldcastle Infrastructure: Oldcastle Infrastructure is a large building products and infrastructure solutions company that owns the CXT concrete building line. As a much larger incumbent, it offers broader infrastructure products and competes with PRC on precast concrete public buildings through its dedicated CXT brand.
• WillScot Mobile Mini: WillScot is a large, publicly-traded provider of modular space and portable storage solutions across North America. It is a broad incumbent in modular buildings for government and commercial customers, with substantially larger scale and capital resources than PRC.

Regional players

• T.B. Penick & Sons: T.B. Penick & Sons is a general contractor specializing in site-built public structures including park restrooms and recreation facilities, primarily in the western US. It competes with PRC where municipalities default to traditional site-built construction rather than prefab modular buildings.
• Volumetric Building Companies: Volumetric Building Companies is a modular construction firm that partnered with PRC on the San Francisco 'Toiletgate' project. While it operates in adjacent prefab construction categories, it does not specialize in park restroom buildings the way PRC does and primarily serves different end markets.
