Brette Haus
Brette Haus (legal entity Brette Haus SIA) builds hinged CLT-and-timber cabins that fold flat for transport and are craned into position, with the walls and roof rotating into place in a few hours. The line spans compact studios (Compact 18/27) to two-storey cabins (Rustic range), and the aesthetic is Nordic rather than industrial. Brette Haus ships to North America as an export order at added cost, but no US certification is confirmed — budget carefully for ocean freight, duty, and permitting.

Models from Brette Haus
Compact
A hinged cross-laminated-timber cabin that folds flat and rotates open on site. Warmer and better finished than most of the category, with the import friction that comes with a European build. Base pricing is quote-based and varies widely by fit-out.
Rustic
The two-storey Brette Haus. A genuine second floor and a folded transport footprint that still fits standard freight — the closest thing in the category to a house rather than a unit. Bedroom count and price vary by configuration.

Brette Haus — questions people ask
- Who are Boxabl's biggest competitors?
- It depends on the buyer. On price, expandable container buildings from sellers like Chery Industrial and DTC/Amazon brands (EROMMY, Feekercn) undercut it substantially. On finish and format for ADUs, European hinged-cabin makers such as Brette Haus and the folding CLT A-frame from M.A.Di compete directly, though buyers must confirm certification themselves. On deployment speed for commercial and relief use, Ten Fold Engineering and Jupe are ahead. Notably, though, Boxabl's state modular seal gives it a stronger certification position than most rivals, which are uncertified.
