All-in-one services

Managing multiple rail yard locations across the country can be a logistical challenge. Some of Build-A-Box’s clients operate in 14 or more locations per year across all 50 states. Without our nationwide turnkey solutions, this would require working with up to 168 different contractors, creating unnecessary complexities and expenses. By choosing Build-A-Box, rail companies streamline their operations—eliminating the need for multiple contractors; dealing with just one trusted partner from start to finish.

Reduce Development Costs

Many general contractors rely on Build-A-Box for office manufacturing and site work, but they add unnecessary markups, increasing costs for rail companies. By working directly with Build-A-Box, companies eliminate third-party markups, freeing up resources for other essential projects.
