Family bunker

Hold 6: an underground bunker for 6.

A family bunker for six, laid out in the long, narrow form most underground shelters take: airlock and decontamination at the entry, then the systems, the living space, a pantry and water room, and the bunks at the far end with the escape exit.

Delivered and installed

We put it in
and connect it.

Every design can be built as a stand-alone bunker. We handle the site, permits, excavation, setting, waterproofing, utilities, commissioning and training. How a bunker-only project works.

Are these plans ready to build?

They are reference layouts. Every Styrkholm bunker is engineered by a licensed structural engineer for its site, soil and water table, and the stamped drawings are produced in design.

Can a design be changed?

Yes. Rooms, length and finishes change with every household. The spec underneath, air, filtration, shielding, radon and exits, does not.

How is the price set?

Each design has an installed base price, and you add systems in the Bunker Builder at published prices. The final price is confirmed in writing after the site visit, because the ground, depth and access change the work.
