Sets Up in Hours
Once craned into place, the home unfolds and can be move-in ready the same day — instead of the months a stick-built project needs.

Homes That Ship Flat And Unfold in Hours
Complete steel-framed homes, built on an assembly line, shipped in standard containers and deployed anywhere traditional construction is too slow.
A Different Way to Build
Modular Housing, Engineered Like a Product
BoxHouse manufactures factory-built, steel-framed homes that fold flat for freight and unfold into finished living space on site. Every unit leaves the line with structure, insulation, electrical rough-in, plumbing, kitchen and bath already installed — so field labour is measured in hours, not weeks.
- Assembly-line tolerances and repeatable quality control on every unit
- Ships by truck, rail or ocean container to remote and island sites
- Set on helical earth screws or a conventional permanent foundation
- Specified by operators, agencies and developers across multiple markets

Built Into Every Unit
What Makes a BoxHouse a Real Home
Six engineering decisions that separate a BoxHouse from a downsized shelter or a converted shipping box.
Factory-Built
Produced indoors on an assembly line, protected from weather delays, with the same inspection checklist applied to every single home.
Container-Shippable
Moves on the freight infrastructure that already exists everywhere — road, rail and sea — reaching job sites, islands and disaster zones alike.
Foldable Structure
The folding frame collapses a complete home to a fraction of its footprint. It is the engineering that makes low-cost logistics possible.
Steel-Framed to 200 MPH
A structural steel chassis and frame engineered for winds up to 200 mph, for coastal, cyclone and high-exposure deployments.
No Permanent Foundation Needed
Install on earth screws for fast, relocatable placement, or on a slab when the home is staying for good. Both are engineered options.
Proof, Not Promises 
Deployable in Hours, Not Months

Buyer Questions
Specification & Logistics FAQ
The details international buyers, developers and procurement teams ask us first.
How fast can a BoxHouse home be deployed on site?
Our documented deployment record for the BoxHouse Duplex is 1 hour and 26 minutes from crane set to fully unfolded structure. With footings and utilities prepared in advance, a typical unit reaches move-in readiness the same day.
How many homes fit inside one shipping container?
Because each home folds flat, up to two complete BoxHouse homes travel inside one standard shipping container. That reduces freight cost per unit dramatically and allows ocean, rail and road delivery using existing infrastructure.
What wind and structural loads are the homes rated for?
The structural steel frame is engineered to withstand winds of up to 200 mph, which is why the platform is regularly specified for hurricane-exposed islands, coastal zones and post-disaster reconstruction programmes.
Is a permanent concrete foundation required?
No. Homes can be installed on helical earth screws for fast, relocatable placement, or on a conventional slab or pier foundation when the installation is permanent. Site conditions determine the engineered recommendation.
What is included when the home leaves the factory?
Units ship with structure, insulated envelope, windows and doors, electrical and plumbing rough-in, bathroom fixtures, and kitchen or kitchenette installed. Finish packages vary by model and by workforce, hospitality or residential application.
