From Our Factory Floor · Hayward, CA
Manufactured in Hayward. Coordinated for Bay Area projects.
Local production gives Bay Area projects direct access to the 4C manufacturing and technical team, with delivery and installation planned for each site.
Every panel leaving our Hayward floor, 4C SAFE™ and 4C ECO™ alike, is ICC-ES listed and patent pending, built to the same certified specification whether it travels two miles or two hundred.
Manufactured in Hayward, coordinated for the Bay Area.
4C supports Bay Area single-family homes, ADUs and multifamily projects with SAFE™ steel and ECO™ wood components. We coordinate system details with your architect and builders, then plan production, delivery and installation around the project requirements.

Shorter hauls, tighter schedules
Panels don't have to travel far to reach a Bay Area site, which simplifies delivery scheduling and reduces the freight cost built into your project budget.
Easy site visits, in both directions
Our team can walk your jobsite without a long drive, and you're welcome to visit the Hayward facility to see your panels in production before they ship.
Faster turnaround for local teams
Proximity to the factory means fewer logistics variables between design sign-off and panels arriving on site, a real advantage for architects and builders working on tight schedules.
Built for the Bay Area's cost pressure and density.
The Bay Area's construction costs are among the highest in the country, and much of the region's new housing and commercial work is infill: tight urban and suburban lots where efficient use of labor and schedule matters as much as the design itself. Keeping cost, carbon, complexity, and compliance in balance on projects like these is exactly what drives our mission as a manufacturer.
4C ECO™
Wood-framed, Type V panels built for budget-disciplined infill and multifamily work.

4C SAFE™
Steel-framed, fire-resistant panels for wildfire-exposed hillside terrain.

The East Bay and North Bay hills, along with other wildland-adjacent communities around the region, carry well-documented wildfire exposure. If your Bay Area site sits in or near that kind of terrain, 4C SAFE™ is worth evaluating alongside 4C ECO™. Talk to our team about which system fits your parcel.
A straightforward path from your plans to a coordinated panel system.
Our project portfolio shows work in Los Angeles and San Diego County that reflects the same process you'd go through here. Here's what working with us actually looks like.
-
Share your plans
Send us your architectural drawings as they stand. No redesign is required: our engineering team reviews your existing plans for panelization.
-
System selection
We help you choose between 4C SAFE™ and 4C ECO™ based on your site conditions, budget, and construction type. Your architect or GC leads this step since we work through partners, not directly with homeowners.
-
Factory engineering & fabrication
Panels are engineered and manufactured at our Hayward facility, pre-labeled and sequenced for assembly.
-
Short-haul delivery
Because your site is likely within the greater Bay Area, delivery scheduling is simpler and freight costs are lower than for our more distant markets, which also reduces the transportation footprint we track as part of our sustainability commitments.
-
Onsite assembly support
Heavy equipment is not always required, but a reach forklift (telehandler) is our preferred method for handling and installation. We plan equipment and staging around each site, and our team is a short drive away if your crew needs support.
