We are offering two configurations, 20' and 40'. The exterior shell cannot be customized since it is integral to the structural integrity of the space. The interior shell can be modified to meet your specific needs in many ways.
20' unit: 480 sqft
40' unit: 960 sqft
Yes. The ease of relocation will be dependent on the intended use of the unit. If you require sewer, water, and utilities you will have to do site preparation before deployment and need to have a plumber and electrician connect the plumbing and power. The units are moved using standard container shipping methods.
Once the unit has been set in place one person can easily open it via the connected remote. The remote controls the opening and closing of the unit. When the unit has been opened the client simply has to place the contents stored in the unit in their respective place and they are all done.
If you do not require plumbing and electric than you will be able to deploy the unit upon arrival to your location. Clients will be able to choose to have our "Off Grid" package which will allow this.
TenFold recommends the client have someone on site for the first unfolding of their new unit. The setup process is easy and can be done by one person so long as the site has been prepared in advance.
TenFold units are designed to be untethered when located within a zone one wind area. Zone two and three will require an engineered connection to the ground. An example of such a connection would be to have sonotubes cast and placed. The legs would then be bolted to the sonotubes. This will secure the TenFold unit during a weather event. In anticipation of a severe weather event it is suggested that the unit is folded up to improve its performance during the weather event.

At the heart of what we are creating is a prefabricated home. So yes, they are prefabricated to a certain spec. The base model includes one bathroom and a kitchen. From there the specs will be determined by the client. These “packages” will range from different utilities, solar panels, flooring, or color.
We are currently working on partnering with a Germany solar
Once the client has chosen which model they would like they will have many options to outfit the unit to their liking. Floor to ceiling windows will be available in both the 20’ and 40’ models.
The cost will be between $350-400 a square foot. If you would like a more detailed breakdown of costs please email us directly at info@tenfoldengineering.com. All information provided to TenFold will remain private.

Each unit will come with a 10 year warranty. This will cover the structure, enclosure, and mechanicals. The customer will be responsible for the interior. The appliances will be covered by their respective manufacturers. Customers will provide cleaning and all other general maintenance. The units utilize hydraulics that are universal in most of the world making them easy to repair and maintain.
We anticipate our TenFold units to be multigenerational investments.
The units are constructed with high quality materials. Function and longevity are core principles that our units have been designed around. These principles, combined with regular maintenance and upkeep, will provide longevity and performance throughout the lifetime of the unit.
What makes the TenFold unit unique is that they will self deploy off the truck, not requiring specialty equipment on site. This means no crane or forklift will be needed for the unloading and deployment. This is a major money savings for our clients since you don't have to pay for riggers or specialty transportation. You are buying this structure so you can move it in the future.
We have exported units to other countries. Part of our redesign of the TF is based around the idea of global shipping. The new TF in the 20’ and 40’ configurations have been developed so they will comply with international shipping regulations and infrastructure. More details surrounding shipping will be provided on a case by case basis since different countries will have different shipping regulations.
