Drop structures is a modular home builder based out of Alberta, able to ship completely assembled units to buyers across North America. The company’s main product is the Mono, a single room structure meant as an add-on for those who need a little bit of extra space that isn’t attached to their home. The founders of Drop Structure wanted to develop an easy ‘plug-n-play’ purchase process, and this is reflected in all aspects of the home installation. The entire Mono unit is assembled in-house and delivered in one piece. Once it reaches the final destination, the only on-site work is placing the structure and plugging in the single 15 amp circuit.

The Mono is a blend of modern style, featuring high ceilings, a four foot patio, and their signature floor-to-ceiling windows on two opposing walls. The unit starts at 109 sq ft, but buyers can request add-ons, such as more space, a bathroom, or a kitchen. Drop Structures also works with clients to create custom spaces for retail, offices, and more.

Strengths:

• No Permit Required - The standard Mono model is so small and it doesn’t have any plumbing, eliminating the need for a permit in most areas.

• Turnkey - The entire unit is delivered in one piece, leaving only the placement of the unit to complete installation.

• Variety of Uses - These units have no plumbing, which makes them ideal as home offices or gyms.

Reasons they may not be for you:

• You are looking for a much bigger house, for use as an ADU.
