SHIP ONLY WHAT IS NEEDED

  1. each unit that is shipped is made of building material that can be reconfigured post disaster. It is inappropriate to ship a lot of items that will end up in the garbage. As people move out of this unit it can be disassembled and the material can be used in permanent construction.
    2)all alike components are identical for easy rapid deployment.
  2. fabric superstructure eliminates the need for watertight construction and provides passive cooling. This superstructure also allows for a second floor living space that is protected and off the ground.
    4)foundation can be adapted from rubble, stones, etc and the unit is anchored using a helical foundation pier. These piers can also be used in final construction.

The rigid structure is roughly an 8’ cube and all SIPS boards are US standard 4 x 8, 3.5 " thick and weigh under 20 lbs
