The validation record
Tested. Measured. Recognized. Granted.
Every claim Adaptable Structures publishes is documented. This page is the record — the structural tests, the production-run measurements, the patent grants, the partnership agreements, and the external recognition that establishes the Anyplace system as a real, manufacturable, ready-to-scale technology.
Structural performance
The Anyplace system has been tested under live load, live weather, and operational disassembly conditions across 2024 and 2025, with testing ongoing on pilot units. Records below are from in-house validation; third-party structural certification is in progress through the ICC AMM pathway and Florida's 2026 ADU regulatory framework.
The Anyplace validation programme is not a one-off structural event. Each unit is tested through 5–10 disassembly-reassembly cycles. After each cycle, parts are pulled, inspected, and reinstalled in different orientations or positions, then re-tested. The "A-T", "B-T", "C-T", "D-B" markings visible on parts in test photographs are part-tracking indices — physical evidence of components tested across multiple installations and orientations. The validation programme demonstrates that the Anyplace system retains structural integrity not just under load, but across the design-for-disassembly use cycle the system is built for.

2024 – 2025
150+ push-pull cycles at 1.5× maximum design wind load — bare frame, no deviation observed across the full cycle count.Documented
-
2024 – 2025
Four-corner full-span load test, one corner block removed — frame held on three corners. Founder walked to the suspended corner from inside the module to verify load distribution under the asymmetric condition.Documented
-
2024 – 2025
Live cyclone exposure — full-span suspension between two shipping containers during a real (not simulated) weather event. No leaks. No structural damage. No deformation.Documented
-
2024 – 2025
Forklift drag tests — single module and joined-module configurations. No failure under sustained lateral drag load.Documented
-
2024 – 2025
Wall replacement field test — full wall panel replaced and resealed in 28 minutes by two-person team using standard tools.Documented
-
2016 – 2026
Proof-of-concept module in continuous occupation — built 2016, occupied continuously, structurally intact at ten years of service.Documented
-
2024 – 2025
14+ disassembly-reassembly cycles on pilot units — each cycle measured for time, parts integrity, panel reusability, and orientation flexibility. No degradation across the cycle count.Documented
Production-ready units
Two complete US-ready Anyplace units are currently held in Memphis, Tennessee, packed for deployment. The units were manufactured in 2025 for delivery to a US exhibition; on rescheduling of that engagement, the containers were redirected to Memphis where they remain available for first US production deployment.
Material recovery
-
2024 – 2025
98% measured material recovery across a completed ten-unit production pilot. Independently observed disassembly process. This is a measurement of physical recovery from real units, not a projection or a lifecycle model output.Documented
Carbon performance
-
May 2026
Divergent Resource Logic Codex v4.3.0 IRONCLAD published at fullboundarycarbon.org. 136-page full-boundary lifecycle accounting framework. Under DRL accounting, Anyplace generates a net lifecycle of −3.1 to −2.6 tCO₂e per tonne. Includes corrected ledger for Brock Commons (+6,956 tCO₂e) and T3 Minneapolis (+11,548 tCO₂e) recomputed under full-boundary accounting, with companion Reagan Forestry Legacy paper (v3.2, April 2026).Published
