Rising costs, tight timelines, and high demand are reshaping the BTR market. To help developers meet these challenges, Catamount Constructors, Inc., a 100% employee-owned ENR Top 400 Contractor, has launched ArchType™, a ready-to-build BTR solution.
Catamount’s seasoned BTR and multifamily team offers expertise in design, development, and construction. From strategy to execution, we bring precision, experience, and a shared drive to shape the future of BTR. We combine the strengths of a design-build team with extensive experience in multifamily and BTR, delivering plans based on real renter insights and tested in the field.
“With decades of experience managing complex, high-stakes developments, I understand the challenges developers face, uncertainty, rising costs, and tight timelines,” said Jared Ford, President with Catamount. “ArchType™ was designed to solve those problems.”
Developed in partnership with Dwell Design Studio, ArchType™ streamlines the BTR process by eliminating the need for separate design teams and contractors. Its pre-vetted, field-informed plans accelerate timelines without compromising quality, enabling developers to move from design to delivery with confidence.
Bernida Chapman, Vice President with Catamount, added, “I’ve seen firsthand what works in BTR. ArchType™ isn’t just a set of pre-priced plans; it’s a smart, adaptable solution that helps developers streamline costs and execute with confidence.”
