Product Overview – Expandable Prefab House Solution
The Expandable Prefab House is a high-efficiency, modular living solution designed specifically for B2B applications, including rental fleet expansion, workforce housing, and property development. This 20ft unit ingeniously unfolds to provide a 385 sq. ft.

It represents a “plug-and-play” infrastructure model that drastically reduces on-site labor costs and construction timelines, making it an ideal asset for distributors and developers seeking scalable, sustainable housing solutions.
