Southern Structures Inc. (SSI) is a leading manufacturer of modular buildings based in Ocala, Florida. Founded by Hugh A. Stump Jr. in the early 1960s, the company began as a contracting firm focused on room additions and small projects. Recognizing the efficiency and quality advantages of modular construction, SSI transitioned into manufacturing its own buildings in 1978. After operating for over a decade with purchased structures, the company established its own facility, addressing the demand for high-quality, custom modular designs that were not adequately met in the market.
With a spacious 62,000 sq. ft. manufacturing plant on a 10-acre site, SSI boasts a production capacity of completing significant modular projects daily. The company employs a skilled workforce in design, estimating, and production, ensuring the majority of the installation and erection work is handled in-house. SSI's modular structures cater to diverse needs, including residential homes, multifamily units, and commercial buildings for a wide range of applications from schools and medical offices to military facilities and specialized government contracts.
Over the years, SSI has constructed hundreds of residential and multi-family complexes, as well as thousands of commercial units. Their work has reached various sectors, including government agencies, educational institutions, and even international projects. The company prioritizes compliance with state regulations, utilizing professional consultants for architecture and engineering and maintaining rigorous inspection procedures to guarantee state-approved builds. With a focus on innovative modular design, Southern Structures Inc. continues to set itself apart in the construction industry, providing customizable and efficient building solutions for clients within an 800-mile radius and beyond.
