Indonesia
A portable house is a knock-down construction-based home designed for flexibility, allowing it to be relocated from one site to another. Its easy relocation is supported by built-in features, such as corner castings.
For reference, portable houses adopt the structural design of shipping containers, making them solid and durable. Prefabricated modular buildings used as living spaces are classified as portable houses.
Due to their mobility, portable houses are highly favored by businesses operating projects in remote areas far from urban centers or residential zones. These portable structures offer cost and time efficiency in construction.
Most portable houses are prefabricated modular homes, available in various types to meet different needs. The development of these houses mainly depends on the materials used, such as sandwich panels for walls. Here are some types and designs of portable houses.

1. Modular House (ModHouse)
A Modular House or ModHouse is a type of modular prefabricated building developed by Tradecorp Indonesia, featuring an exclusive design and sandwich panel walls.
For reference, Tradecorp Indonesia is a leading supplier of standard and modified shipping containers as well as modular prefabricated buildings.
The ModHouse is designed to resemble a minimalist home and is often referred to as an instant house due to its fast construction process. Built with a solid structure, the ModHouse is designed for long-term use.
2. Modular Box (ModBox)
Another type of portable house developed by Tradecorp Indonesia is the ModBox. A Modular Box (ModBox) is a type of modular prefabricated building with walls made of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) material.
In addition to being used as a residential unit, the ModBox also serves as employee accommodation or an accommodation camp. It features a sturdy construction and can be built quickly.
Over time, the ModBox has also been used as a field office (site office), clinic, laboratory, and ticket booth.
3. Modular Pack (ModPack)
The next portable house introduced by Tradecorp Indonesia is the Modular Pack (ModPack). A Modular Flatpack (ModPack) is a type of modular prefabricated building with sandwich panel walls made of Rockwool.
Both Rockwool and Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) are commonly used as sandwich panel materials. Rockwool is a composite structure consisting of three layers: two rigid external layers and a lightweight core that provides excellent insulation.
Rockwool is made from stone fibers or mineral wool, chosen for its thermal insulation properties, fire resistance, soundproofing ability, moisture resistance, and durability.
Unlike EPS, which is made from foam plastic based on polystyrene that expands through a heating process to form an open-cell structure filled with air, EPS is lightweight, highly efficient as an insulator, water-resistant, cost-effective, and has good compressive strength.
4. Modular Multi (ModMulti)
The next portable house from Tradecorp Indonesia is the Modular Multi (ModMulti). Also known as ModMulti K-House, this prefabricated building features a light steel frame structure with sandwich panel walls and roofing. Certain sections are reinforced with strengthening slings to enhance the building’s structural integrity.
The ModMulti design can be expanded into multi-story buildings, including two-story, three-story, and beyond. Due to its scalability, ModMulti is often used as worker accommodation (mess housing) for employees.
5. Modular Snap (ModSnap)
Modular Snap, or ModSnap, is a modular prefabricated building from Tradecorp Indonesia that can be folded, making it easy to transport and relocate to construction sites. While ModSnap resembles a shipping container in shape, it features different wall materials.
6. Rakita
To provide emergency accommodation, Tradecorp Indonesia offers Rakita. The Rakita portable house is a modular prefabricated building specifically designed as emergency housing for people affected by earthquakes.
