The over-engineered small home

Move it like a tiny home.
Value it like a house.

Small homes built on a rigid steel tube frame — designed to exceed the toughest wind and energy codes in America, priced within reach, and honest about the two things that kill most small-home purchases: financing and local approval.

Why Megalodon

Built up to a standard, not down to a price

Stamped for your county

Stock plans from the big marketplaces arrive unstamped — then your building department sends you to an engineer. Ours arrive engineered for your state's requirements.

How our plans work →

Relocatable without depreciating

The Foundation Series is certified modular: real property that finances and appraises like a site-built house — and can still be lifted and re-set.

The gap we build in

Between the illegal flat-pack and the $300k backyard unit

Below us: $8–19k internet container houses — no code path, no financing, no insurance, illegal to live in almost everywhere. Above us: turnkey prefab ADUs at $234–450k. Nobody sells certified, financeable, insurable in between. That's the Megalodon.

One thing we tell you before you pay us anything: how a small home is classified decides how you can finance it. There are two paths, and they're different. We put the fork on the pricing page, not in the fine print. Read the financing fork →
