What are these made of?
VivaBox homes are constructed with durable materials such as steel, concrete, and EPS foam. These materials are built to last and will not deteriorate over time. The walls, floor, and roof of a VivaBox are comprised of structurally reinforced panels that surpass the strength of typical building materials. Additionally, VivaBox modules are weatherproof, ensuring a comfortable temperature all year round, whether it's hot or cold.


Are they flood resistant?
VivaBox modules are set at least 1 feet above the floor and does not employ conventional lumber or sheetrock in its construction. The use of alternative materials reduces the likelihood of damage caused by water and mold growth.

VivaBox modules are extremely energy efficient. The insulation level we put in our homes exceed what is required by most governing bodies all over the country.  


What codes do they comply with?
VivaBox modules meet and surpass the standards set by most building codes. VivaBox will come with state-level modular approval, which simplifies the building process by reducing the need for local inspections and providing pre-approved plans at the state level. Although the modular approval is not available at the moment, it is expected to be ready soon.

Am I allowed to build a VivaBox on my land?

Different areas have different zoning rules. You can try reading rules on your local governments website, but sometimes it can be confusing. You can definetly try  permits.com to provide an easy resource for questions about permitting.


Are these manufactured/ trailer/ HUD homes?
No, they are built to a higher code standard. They are built to IRC and ICC requirements for most areas in the US. VivaBoxes are generally stronger than a traditional site built home as they are constructed from a custom engineered, steel frame chassis designed for the intention of housing.  Container based construction technology that is designed for housing, not shipping.


Is the roof flat?
