A flat pack building is a modular structure delivered as separate structural frames, wall panels, roof panels, doors, windows and accessories. All components are pre-manufactured in the factory and assembled on site with bolts and connectors.
Compared with folding container buildings, flat pack buildings offer more layout flexibility and are ideal for housing, offices, camps, shops and many other applications.
