The collapsible structural frame includes a first frame portion configured to receive a first sheet of building material, a second frame portion configured to receive a second sheet of building material, the second frame portion extending along a second reference plane, and a third frame portion configured to receive a third sheet of building material. The collapsible structural frame is alterable from: (1) a flat state in which the first, second, and third frame portions extend along the second reference plane in a linear arrangement; and (2) a deployed state in which the first frame portion is out of plane with the second reference plane and the third frame portion is out of plane with the second reference plane.
