Simpleterra Review

Simpleterra is a prefab ADU, yurt, and tiny home builder based in Murray, Utah. They offer over 11 shipping container ADU designs, over a dozen yurt designs, two dome homes, plus tiny homes and sheds. Their pre-designed, ADU floor plans range from 160 square feet to 1,200 square feet, and home designs range from 76 square feet to 3,338 square feet and include yurt tents. Their prefab shipping container ADUs have a modern cargo look, with flat metal roofs, tall windows, and waffled steel siding. Their yurt tents feature a traditional Mongolian style, with heavy-duty fabric exterior, traditional Mongolian exterior artwork, and bamboo crossers for additional support. Their tiny homes feature a modern style, with a glossy wood exterior, large horizontal windows, sliding glass door, and additional loft space. While floor plans are pre-designed, interior and exterior customization are available. Simpleterra also customizes shipping container ADUs by putting units together for extra space.

Simpleterra’s shipping container homes can be built on concrete slab, strip, pile, or pier foundations. Many of their models like the Yurt or the dome either do not require any foundation or can be installed on a wooden platform. Their tiny homes and many of their shipping container homes are delivered with heating, plumbing, and electrical already installed. Furniture and appliances are not included. It is worth noting that while Simpleterra handles delivery, site surveys and permit assistance are paid add-ons. 

Strengths
