Company Profile
Capsys Corp. located in the Brooklyn Navy Yard was formed in 1996 to design and build Nehemiah II, 700 homes for the Nehemiah Housing Development Fund Company. Capsys won the prestigious "Build New York" award as well as HUD's "Innovation in Housing" awards for its approach and execution of the Nehemiah II project. Since then it has produced over 2,000,000 square feet and almost 2,000 units of housing in a variety of types, from low rise to mid rise homes, multi-family and hotels.
Capsys' product requires a great deal of engineering and planning. This is one key to the quality of the product. All engineering and drafting are done in-house. Capsys is a union plant with highly skilled and motivated work force that takes pride in the company's product.
Capsys' steel structural system, which still is unusual in the industry, has evolved into one that is completely fireproof using structural steel and concrete. It is, in fact, the state of the art in prefabricated construction. The company is a subject of interest on a national basis for its atypical approach of using a steel-based system with production line techniques. It has been the subject of a number of different studies as well as magazine and newspaper articles. It regularly conducts tours for various academic, professional, manufacturing and technical groups from all over the world.
