to live in as always we read every
comment and welcome all suggestions
number 110 fold engineering has raised
the bar on what a folding structure
should be these homes incorporate the
performance characteristics of a solid
building into a transportable prefab
unit each one is made of only three
components the pods the panels and the
chassis they're designed to be moved
again and again yet ready to use upon
deployment no foundation is needed due
to legs and outriggers that adjust for
uneven ground additionally no builders
or special machinery is needed on-site
once the unit is set the expansion
occurs from the central chassis itself
deploys with the touch of a button in
under 10 minutes - about three times its
transport size furniture and appliances
integrate seamlessly into the unit with
ample room for power systems water
storage and treatment HVAC and any other
needed equip
the modularity of the components allows
for easy upgrading or replacement
without disruption to any of the other
systems the interchangeable pods let the
user incorporate any arrangement of
Windows panels and doors to suit almost
any purpose they can even be stacked and
connected in almost any way to create
larger structures there are no
geographical boundaries to where these
can be installed which allows for a
variety of applications including
offices restaurants schools and medical
facilities
the company is licensing their
technology so that existing
manufacturers can adapt to build and
assemble the product closer to where it
is needed
they hope to lower production costs in
addition to promoting employment on the
local and regional level there are
multiple buildings to choose from on the
Company's website pricing will be
dependent on size complexity location
and other logistics
