Installer Training Box
Location: B.PUBLIC Shop in Las Vegas, New Mexico, USA
Our quarterly Installer Training Program includes a full day of hands-on training with our panels. This box has taught over a hundred builders how to use our panelized system!

Bauen Box
Location: Boulder CO, USA
The amazing folks at Bauen Build wanted an office that could move with them from job site to job site. While acting as a mobile job site office for their team, it has also become a live demonstration tool for showing potential clients siding, window, and roofing options. It even has its own website!

Milwaukee Box
