Shippable Building System

With such a remote site, a prefabricated building system type with the capability of a 'kit of parts' that could designed and pieces fabricated in a controlled environment and could be loaded on a truck or shipping container. This system is only one option as to provide a remote island with a building. Main issue is to design a system to deliver the ‘kit of parts’ from the main land to the site. 

Ease of Construction

• Materials and construction type that can be delivered without heavy equipment
• Typically 4’ wide by up to 10’ tall
• SIPs – Structural Insulated Panel, Pre-manufactured walls an panels
• Designed to be handled and installed by 2 people
• Design and construction time frame could be within 6 months
• Valuable on-site construction time, labor, and resources

[Cabin Fever has recently paired with an architect to offer more designed prefab component houses, at $50 a square foot.  The title of an article in "Builder" - "Cabin fever and Ed Binkley Offer Affordable, Eco-Friendly Panelized Homes" touts the green aspects of the project, but I didn't find any support for this claim.  I wonder what makes these designs "eco-friendly," and what chemicals go into the panels. - Kristina]
