An expandable flat pack module (1) is disclosed which has a pitched roof (2). In a storage configuration a plurality of such modules (1) can form a compact stack (7) of modules. A plurality of stub supports (5) are arranged around the periphery of the base (8) each having a substantially identical length sufficient to support the base (8) of a like module ( 1 ) and maintain the base (8) of the like module (1 ) closely spaced from the ridge (3) of the pitched roof (2). Each module (1) can be erected by raising the pitched roof (2) above the base (8) of the module. Preferably two end walls (13) pivoted to the base are provided. Preferably two side walls (10) each having a central, horizontal and inwardly folding piano hinge (12), and pivotally connected to both the roof (7) and base (8), are also provided. Various erection methods and dwelling configurations are also disclosed.
