B&T Manufacturing is based in Rapid City, South Dakota. It was founded eight years ago by Tim Torpey. The company builds bathroom pods, panelized greenhouses, and steel-framed modular housing components.
B&T began with bathroom pods for a friend in Southern California. The company moved from prototype to production in a few months. It won its first contract soon after.
Early investment in FrameCAD machinery helped B&T improve bathroom pod production and expand into new products.
B&T started with bathroom pods. The company positions them as practical, efficient offsite-built solutions.
A visitor’s question at the facility led B&T to develop panelized greenhouses. These are designed to withstand prairie winds, ship flat-packed, and be assembled or expanded by DIY homeowners.
The H3 bathroom unit was developed with Lendlease. It is an alternative to standard chemical toilets on construction sites.
The units can be trailered in, sent through material elevators, forklifted into place, or rolled by hand on flat surfaces. Version five is currently in production.
B&T supplies precision-engineered steel frames for modular housing. It works with companies such as Mountain Modular in Idaho. The company can produce two complete home packages every seven days.
The article says B&T grows through adaptability, customer feedback, and continuous improvement. Its product lines support one another. The company is described as a family-like team focused on customer service and meaningful work.
