The mechanism

Thirty-seven feet long, seven feet four wide, framed to stay straight.

The Austin is the narrowest unit in the range, which puts every load on the long steel edges rather than on an interior wall. The frame is squared and the bath core is plumbed and tested in the bay, so it arrives as one rigid finished room.

01
Framed.
12- and 16-gauge galvanized steel angles, set to carry a 37-foot span at 7 feet 4 inches wide.
02
Insulated.
R-30 roof and R-19 wall panels, sealed around the bathroom core.

03

Finished.
Marble-look feature wall, waterproof flooring and the full bath, fitted before loading.

Smart controls

The sleeping end and the living end, held at different temperatures.

One long glass-walled room is zoned for sleeping at the private end and living at the other, and dual-zone HVAC holds each independently. Lighting, locks and the shades on the glazed wall run from voice or from your phone.

01

Glazed.
Low-E double-pane glazing down the long elevation, motorized blackout curtains fitted.

02

Wired and plumbed.
Wired and plumbed with the full bath tested, HVAC zoned to the sleeping and living ends.

03

Automated.
Voice control, smart locks and the pendant lighting configured per zone.

Will hookup costs stay predictable as I add units?~Yes. Each unit connects to the same pad and utility stubs, so the hookup scope is fixed and repeatable. The cost stays predictable as you add units.|Do units in a cluster come out identical?~Every Austin 280 leaves the factory to the same build sheet. That keeps a ten-unit cluster running on one set of instructions, with smart controls that work the same across all of them.|Is 280 square feet enough for guests or full-time living?~The 279.86-square-foot plan holds a bedroom and a great room, plus a full bath. The kitchen is an upgrade for full-time living.|How fast from deposit to placement?~Factory-finished units deliver in weeks, not the twelve to eighteen months of site-built construction. Your quote includes the delivery window for your site.|Can the bedroom and the living area hold different temperatures?~Yes. Dual-zone HVAC sets the bedroom and the living area independently. Guests should not be roasting in the bedroom while the living area is fine. With two zones, they will not be.

01

What does the site need before delivery?

A level foundation pad and utility stubs for power and water, plus a sewer connection. We send the site-preparation requirements up front, before you break ground.

02

How long does placement take?

The unit arrives factory-finished and connects to the prepared pad and hookups. Delivery is measured in weeks, where site-built work runs 12 to 18 months.

03

Is this a permanent home?

Yes. It is framed in galvanized steel, insulated to R-30 in the roof and R-19 in the walls, and delivered with mechanical systems, finishes, glazing and smart controls installed. It is engineered for four-season use. Permitting varies by jurisdiction, and the exact site requirements come with your quote.

04

What warranty backs the structure?

The steel frame and thermal envelope carry a written warranty, detailed in the quote. Ask for the exact terms when you request a quote.
