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.
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.
20' unit: 400 SF
40' unit: 800 SF
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.
Units are designed to be untethered when located within a wind zone one. Wind 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 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.
We will provide finishes when you order the unit. They can be made to the specified needs of our client. This will be at the cost of the client but you will be able to have a ready made unit to your exact desire and need.
The units will be able to be linked on the ground level and stacked up to 7 units high. At this time we are
A cement pad or sonotubes will need to be in place prior to shipment. The thickness and size will have to be determined by an engineer based on the ground you plan to place the unit on.
The primary materials used in the construction of the units is steel and ACM (Aluminum Composite Material).
At the heart of what we are creating is a prefabricated structure. 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 and the package they choose. These packages will feature different appliances, solar panels, flooring, and interior buildouts.
Solar panels can be mounted on the roof of the unit. There is space below the transport mounting points. This will allow for the panels to be mounted permanently and not be damaged by the stacking of units.
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 Engineering 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.
TenFold Engineering units to be multigenerational investments. The units are constructed to comply with both the IBC (International Building Code) and HUD Code (Housing and Urban Development Code) making them exceptionally robust. Function and longevity are core principles that our units have been designed around. We believe our units will exceed the average life span of a prefab home (30-100 years).
Prior to your unit arriving you would need to install water, septic, and electric. If the unit is going to be semi permanent you would need to pour a cement pad. Once the unit has been deployed you would hook up the utilities.
Permitting will be based on your local regulations. We recommend speaking with your local planning commission or zoning commissioner to see what regulations your town has. We will work with your town to make this process easy for you!
The units will be shipped using standard ISO shipping methods.
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 is based around the idea of global shipping. The new 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.
The units are moved using ISO compliant trucks and trailers. This is a seismic shift from traditional prefab structures that are moved using specialized trucks and riggers.
When the unit arrives at its destination the unit is set in place using the connected remote. The remote controls the opening and closing.
What makes the TenFold Engineering units unique is that they will self deploy off the truck, not requiring specialty equipment on site. Once the unit is at its destination the sides will deploy. Once the sides have deployed the legs lower to the ground and raise the unit off the transport trailer. From here the transport trailer drives out from under the unit. Next the legs lower the unit to the ground and level the unit.
This means no crane or forklift will be needed for the unloading and deployment. This is a major logistical hurdle that our clients won't have to deal with.
