CMAX Systems' building-in-a-box before it becomes a building (image widened using AI)CMAX Systems
==============================================================
You could view it as a solid-floored uber-tent or an easily relocatable temporary building – but you could also call it a super-minimal tiny home for US$8,000. This remarkable building-in-a-box was designed for housing refugees, but it's now on sale. CMAX Systems' building-in-a-box seems almost too good to be true. It offers a solid-floored, robust, habitable structure, 19 ft long by 7.4 ft wide (5.8 x 2.25 m) with a ceiling height of 7.2 ft (2.2 m), so only a handful of pro basketball players would brush their heads on the ceiling.
The CMAX System's most transformative super power though, is its ability to fold into a manageable 330-lb (150-kg) unit that can easily be transported on the back of a pickup or a trailer, then set down more or less anywhere, raised off the ground and leveled out with its adjustable legs and ready to go within about 10 minutes, using two people and no special tools. You could look at it as a super-robust, solid-floor, eight-person tent that won't blow away in a storm, or as an easily relocatable temporary building.
The rigid central structure of the unit enables the CMAX (at additional cost) to mount solar panels, air-conditioning and/or a water treatment unit. It also gives it a lockable door – although to be fair, security-wise it's only really locked until somebody wanders up with a knife and makes a new door of their own.

Doubles as a casket for 8.
It’s a dang tent.
“Interment” = burial. Perhaps your assistive spelling should have pointed you to “internment” which means to confine, usually for political or military purposes.
Yeah, it's a tent trailer minus the trailer. There's nothing new or innovative here.
It’s a folding tent. I don’t really consider a tent a “building.”
They look barely soda-straw proof.
A refugee wouldn’t be caught dead in one of those things. I remember they were complaining about the accommodations and food when they were put in is some NYC hotels.
Rounded up in the reeducation camps...
Glorified camping tent.
My biggest concern is its ability to handle wind. I hope it has ropes and stakes.
