Frequently Asked Questions
  • Are the windows of the space capsule made of double or triple glass?
    The space capsule model basically offers these two options. However, most standard capsules come with double-glazed windows. High-end or cold-climate versions can use triple glazing for increased efficiency. You now know that capsule homes use advanced window systems. They can have double or triple-glazed windows. You can use double-glazed windows to achieve good insulation in mild climates with passive solar gain. You can choose triple-glazed windows to provide extra insulation in cold and windy areas. At this point, you understand the glass options available for your capsule home. Whether you want a double or triple-glazed space capsule, Cammi can meet your needs.
  • Can a space capsule operate independently off the grid?
    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 you must size your systems for the worst months, choose efficient appliances, and add reliable backups. If you carefully follow the planning steps, you can make tiny house off-grid living possible. For example, match your electricity and water usage to what your panels and systems can provide. Use efficient appliances, manage your water, and adjust heating for the coldest weather. With good design and backups, a tiny house can certainly be self-sufficient.
  • Do you need a crane to install a space capsule?
    Do you need a crane to install a capsule room? It depends on the weight of the modules, lifting height, reach, and site access. Heavier capsules or narrow sites usually require a crane; light units with clear access can be handled with a telescopic forklift. Planning is key when placing capsule units. If you have heavy or hard-to-reach lifts, use a crane, as these modules are equipped with lifting lugs for this purpose. If the lift is light and simple, a telescopic forklift or regular forklift will do. In all cases, calculate the actual weight and choose the appropriate equipment. Gather site information (grounding, anchor locations, overhead hazards) and follow a step-by-step lifting plan. With careful preparation and the right machinery, you can install your capsule unit quickly and safely.
  • Are expandable homes safe?
    When built and installed according to standards: with 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 come from poor welding, weak seals, and improper setup. In short, modular homes are safe, sturdy, and designed for modern living. In addition, their steel frame, sealing, and insulation ensure comfort in all seasons. Furthermore, with proper installation and regular inspections, they can be used for many years.
  • Can the space capsule be relocated multiple times?
    Yes, if it is a relocatable model. You will need to plan for permits, disconnect utilities, transportation, setup at the new location, and normal wear and tear with each move. Make sure 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), you can safely relocate your capsule house. If you want to successfully move your capsule house, it is best to work with experienced transport specialists.

  • Not sure where to place the prefab house?
    Holiday parks have already been set up for visitors, so they welcome prefabricated cabins. Coastal resorts and beachfront attractions are located along the shore, and sea views allow you to charge higher rates. Beachfront or seaside locations usually increase the average daily rental. Even outside the peak season, you will attract tourists. Urban infill sites and rooftops exist because there is a housing shortage in cities, so it makes sense to place prefabricated units on vacant lots or even construct them on top of existing buildings. Infill development means reusing already utilized plots or industrial lands. You can take advantage of the city's ongoing demand for housing. Additionally, 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. They are mostly used as rental homes or staff housing (such as for caregivers). They can also increase property value. 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. Think of luxury tents, cabins, or RV hookups on farms. Additionally, 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.
