We Manufacture Solutions

LifeSpace™ is the brand. UtilityMate® Mfg. LLC is the manufacturer. Together we deliver three deployment tiers. FirstStep™ emergency shelters. NextStep™ bridge housing. MyStep™ affordable homes. All built on a patent pending foldable steel-core-frame system, engineered as a single community-ready source. 

TIER 1 → FirstStep™ Emergency Shelters

  FirstStep™ is emergency response, built to last. Lockable 100% steel-frame shelters — including the DeckPlex™ as shown and the different MultiPlex™ models are delivered preassembled and ready to place, replacing tents and tarps with safe, secure, dignified, site ready housing. Every FirstStep™ Shelter is WUI fire-rated, with no wood, no mold, and no pests. These units are more than a temporary fix, they are built to last, easy to clean and completely re-useable.

FirstStep™ SHELTERS

TIER 2 → NextStep™ Bridge Housing

 NextStep™ is the bridge between shelter and a permanent home. The ParkSide™ Studio Flat and other LifeSpace™ models gives residents a private living space with kitchenette, bedroom, and full bath - the privacy and stability that drive long-term housing outcomes. Built on the same patented steel-core system as every LifeSpace™ unit, NextStep™ communities are WUI fire-rated, extremely energy efficient, and engineered for the realities of intensive community use. 

NextStep™ BRIDGE HOUSING

TIER 3 → MyStep™ Affordable Living

  MyStep™ is the destination — a home of your own. The ParkSide™ Modular Duplex Suites and other ParkSide™ models are 100% WUI fire-rated, energy-efficient homes for working individuals, families, seniors, and fixed-income residents who need true affordability without compromise. Built on the same patented steel-core system as FirstStep™ and NextStep™, a MyStep™ RV-ADU delivers the appearance of a traditional residence with the durability, fire resilience, and low-maintenance lifespan of a manufactured steel building.

MyStep™ AFFORDABLE HOmes

We Build Communities

Three Tiers. One Housing Pathway.

 LifeSpace™ helps rural communities respond to the housing crisis with a clear, community-ready pathway forward. Our three-tier system moves from FirstStep™ emergency shelters, to NextStep™ transitional RV-ADU™ housing, to MyStep™ longer-term housing affordability, giving rural communities within the United States practical solutions for each stage of the journey. 

 

 Every LifeSpace™ product is WUI compliant, designed for rapid deployment, and built on our proprietary steel core frame system. FirstStep™ units are safe, secure emergency shelters without in-unit kitchens or bathrooms, while NextStep™ and MyStep™ units are RV-ADU™ housing with bathrooms and kitchens for transitional and longer-term living.
