THE CASE
Most emergency and transitional housing procurement means waiting. Waiting for site approval, waiting for construction, waiting for funding cycles to align with need. BaseBox was built to eliminate that gap.
​
Steel-framed, fully insulated, and factory-furnished — each unit ships flat and stands up fast. Unfold the walls, bolt them in, and install the roof panel. Final steps include seam sealing and caulking, plus electrical connection. A small crew can have a unit fully operational the same day it's delivered. No foundation. No contractor. No wood to rot.
​
BaseBox runs on shore power or fully off-grid solar — making it the only deployable shelter unit in its class that doesn't require access to existing electrical infrastructure. Deploy in a parking lot, a remote site, or anywhere a standard shelter can't go.
Priced for real-world procurement budgets. Significantly below comparable deployable shelter solutions — without sacrificing build quality, safety compliance, or lifespan.
​
Whether you're responding to a housing crisis, standing up a transitional program, or adding private sleeping capacity to an existing facility, BaseBox gets you there faster than any alternative at this price point.
