Keep the architecture. Add a coordinated path to production.
4C translates the project design into coordinated panelization, shop drawings, and installation details, working directly with the architecture, structural, and MEP teams.
Designed to work with custom architecture.
We don't ask you to design around our systems. Our configurator adapts your existing architectural design into defined components and specifications, then produces a coordinated digital model and the permit and construction drawing set your project needs, keeping your design intent intact the whole way through. Read more about our full six-phase process.
From design intent to manufacturable components.
This is how a typical design moves once you bring it to us.
Building Design
Share any architectural or building design. No redesign required.
Configuration
Our configurator converts your design into defined building components and specifications.
Digital Model
We produce a coordinated digital building model that reflects your design intent.
Permit Documentation
We generate the permit and construction drawing set for your review and approval.
Manufacturable Components
Your design becomes certified, manufacturable components, ready for production.
A streamlined path from design to production.
Streamlined conversion
Move from design to coordinated digital model and permit documentation without manual rework.
Design intent preserved
No redesign required: your architectural intent carries through configuration, certification, and manufacturing.
A genuine differentiator
Offer clients faster, more certain delivery timelines backed by ICC-ES listed component systems.
Your design intent, carried through production.
Instead of handing off a finished set of drawings and hoping nothing gets lost between design and manufacturing, our configurator and digital model keep your design intent attached to every component spec, permit set, and certification document.
That means fewer field changes that quietly compromise the design you actually drew.
A clear path from design to installation.
Design flexibility, proven construction details, access to the 4C design team, higher building performance and lower-carbon design options.
Firms we've worked with.
4C works alongside architects, designers, and engineers to carry design intent through engineering, manufacturing, and installation. We continue to expand this network and are proud to have collaborated with firms ranging from specialized residential practices to global design leaders.
M-Integrated
M-Integrated is 4C's primary engineering partner and works directly with our factory-built systems. Specializing in engineering for modular and offsite construction, their expertise includes cold-formed steel and wood panelization, structural engineering, MEP coordination, fire protection, and BIM. Their focus on manufacturable, highly coordinated construction documents makes them an integral part of bringing 4C projects from design into production.
Gensler
A global architecture, design, and planning firm bringing multidisciplinary design expertise across a broad range of building types and markets. 4C has had the opportunity to work with Gensler on adapting architectural design to our construction system.
Campbell Architects
A Southern California architecture practice focused on residential design and one of the architectural teams we've collaborated with on 4C projects.
Büttner Reis Dias
Los Angeles architecture studio with residential work including fire-rebuild design in Altadena and Pacific Palisades. Their Garden House is a pre-approved fire-rebuild plan designed for typical Los Angeles lots and High Fire Hazard Severity Zone requirements.
Skripchenko Architects
Architecture and design practice focused on thoughtful, buildable solutions and the integration of design with modern construction methods.
The case for specifying 4C on your next project.
4C coordinates the component system with your design and engineering documents, helping resolve details before production and reduce field changes.
Our factory-built exterior walls, interior partitions, and roof and floor framing integrate with traditional project workflows. The architect retains the design relationship, with direct 4C support for system details and installation coordination.
