FAQs

The space capsule model generally offers two window options. Most standard capsules come with double-glazed windows, while high-end or cold-climate versions can use triple glazing for increased efficiency. Capsule homes feature advanced window systems with double- or triple-glazed options: double glazing provides good insulation in mild climates with passive solar gain, while triple glazing offers extra insulation in cold and windy areas. Whether you require a double- or triple-glazed space capsule, Cammi can meet your needs.

Living in an off-grid home means living without connections to public utilities. A well-designed tiny house can easily operate off-grid for electricity, water, and sanitation, but it requires properly sized systems, efficient appliances, and reliable backups. Careful planning makes off-grid living in a tiny house possible: match electricity and water usage to what your panels and systems can provide, choose efficient appliances, manage water carefully, and adjust heating for the coldest weather. With good design and backups, a tiny house can be fully self-sufficient.

Do you need a crane to install a capsule unit? It depends on the weight of the modules, lifting height, reach, and site access. Heavier capsules or narrow sites usually require a crane, while light units with clear access can be handled with a telescopic forklift.

Planning is essential when placing capsule units. Heavy or hard-to-reach lifts require a crane, as these modules are equipped with lifting lugs for this purpose. Light, straightforward lifts can be handled with a telescopic or regular forklift.

In all cases, calculate the actual weight and select the appropriate equipment. Gather site information (ground conditions, anchor locations, overhead hazards) and follow a step-by-step lifting plan. With careful preparation and the right machinery, capsule units can be installed quickly and safely.

When built and installed according to standards — including a steel frame, locking hardware, weatherproof seals, fire-rated panels, certified electrical and plumbing systems, and a level, anchored base — the capsule is safe. Risks typically come from poor welding, weak seals, and improper setup.

Overall, modular homes are safe, sturdy, and designed for modern living. Their steel frame, seals, and insulation ensure comfort in all seasons. With proper installation and regular inspections, they can last for many years.

Yes, if it is a relocatable model. Relocation requires planning for permits, utility disconnection, transportation, setup at the new location, and normal wear and tear with each move. Ensure your house is built for relocation and conduct a thorough inspection before each lift. Whenever possible, transport the modules as whole units and follow careful pre-move and transport procedures. With proper preparation and the right equipment (cranes, dollies, or flat racks), your capsule house can be relocated safely.

For a successful move, we recommend working with experienced transport specialists. Alternatively, if you are looking for a capsule house that is easy to relocate, please contact our team.

Holiday parks, already set up for visitors, are well suited to prefabricated cabins. Coastal resorts and beachfront attractions are located along the shore, where sea views allow you to charge higher rates. Beachfront or seaside locations usually command higher average daily rates, and even outside the peak season, you will attract tourists.

In cities facing a housing shortage, urban infill sites and rooftops are viable options. It makes sense to place prefabricated units on vacant lots or even on top of existing buildings. Infill development means reusing underused plots or industrial land, allowing you to take advantage of the city's ongoing demand for housing. Rooftop units (on garages or low-rise buildings) create living space without new land.

Many homeowners install prefabricated accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in their backyards. These are secondary homes or "granny flats" located behind the main house, mostly used as rental homes or staff housing (such as for caregivers). They can also increase property value, and the cost of building an ADU is usually returned in the form of added net worth or rental income.

Working farms and ranches sometimes convert part of their land into tourist accommodations, such as luxury tents, cabins, or RV hookups. Land is inexpensive, and you can create themed experiences (like grape picking or feeding animals). Farmland usually has space to accommodate several buildings, and farms welcome the extra income.
