What Waypaver Intl' does

Waypaver International, LLC is a privately held, Boise, Idaho-based B2B consulting firm that designs and advises on volumetric modular construction factories and automated housing production systems. The company was founded by three long-time collaborators in the modular construction industry — Rick Murdock (CEO/Founder), Merrick Macomber (VP/Partner), Curtis Fletcher (Partner), Roger Lyons (Partner), and Joe Sievers (Director of On-site Construction) — whose leadership averages 30+ years of experience designing, operating, and owning modular factories, including prior leadership at Guerdon Enterprises and Penn Lyon Homes.

Waypaver's core offering is end-to-end modular factory consulting, covering project planning and goals, site assessment, facility and assembly-line design, equipment specification, staffing guidance, installation inspection, and ongoing operational support. Its flagship product, System P4 (launched in 2022), is a pre-designed, turnkey automation and facility-design system co-developed with KUKA Robotics that applies automotive-grade robotics and lean manufacturing principles to volumetric modular housing production. Waypaver is also a founding member of the P4 Housing Collective, an ecosystem of four firms (Modular Maven, Waypaver, Prefab Logic, Effektiv House) that together cover culture, automation, pre-construction digital twin technology, and materials supply.

The firm generates revenue through quote-based, multi-year professional-services engagements with enterprise clients such as Ilke Homes, Autovol, Factory OS, JCF Housements, and Guerdon, delivered via a direct B2B sales motion and qualified through a 'Getting Real' intake questionnaire. Waypaver is privately held, structured as an Idaho LLC, with no disclosed institutional investors or parent company, and operates primarily in the United States while running projects in the UK, Latvia, and Kazakhstan.
