Comfort Systems USA, Inc. FIX continues to advance its modular construction business, which is emerging as a major contributor to growth and profitability. In the first half of 2025, modular operations accounted for about 18% of total revenues, supported by rising demand from technology and industrial clients. The company currently operates 2.7 million square feet of modular capacity and plans to expand to nearly 3 million square feet by early 2026, indicating a steady, measured approach to scaling operations.
Comfort Systems emphasized that expansion efforts are not limited to adding capacity but also the focus on improving productivity and automation within existing facilities. These initiatives are expected to enhance execution speed, cost efficiency and project delivery, strengthening the company’s ability to serve large-scale customers in data center and industrial markets.
Comfort Systems’ modular business is now a well-integrated part of its overall operations rather than a separate product line. The company continues to prioritize high-value projects and collaborative customer relationships, ensuring stable margins and repeat business. While modular remains a smaller share of total revenues, its consistent growth and operational gains suggest increasing strategic importance.
With robust demand from technology-driven projects and expanding automation capabilities, modular construction could play a key role in supporting the next phase of growth for Comfort Systems. Continued execution in this segment positions the company to capture higher-margin opportunities and reinforce its leadership in complex, large-scale construction markets.
