I worked in a modular commercial/residential building factory for 11 years. Worked every area of construction and realized how easy it is to build a functional living space that is spacious and easy to put together. It took about 3-4 days to build a home. Now, it's even faster to put together a home like this that is even a higher quality finish. Amazing.

[@pasjonatpl]

Actually, maybe in a few years I will be interested in buying something like that. So, I'd like to ask you something. What about heating? Heating a regular apartment of this size would be cheaper or more expensive? Houses like this are well insulated and do not lose heat quickly or an opposite? And how would you estimate all the costs, not only the house itself. Land, costs of delivery, running water and electricity installations?

[@Robert8455]

Interesting concept. What is really missing is all the other costs... like land, site prep, foundation, plumbing, sewer, water connection, transportation, erecting, permits, electrical etc. so when you consider that and adding it to your 50K box you'll have somewhere close to 100K. Then if you wanted bigger boxes or more of them to stack up, the cost will jump quite a bit and after you do all that would you really move it? It's not like its a single wide. Did not see how these are anchored down so they don't blow away, what is the wind rating, what is the warranty? I wonder if someone would buy like 20 of them and build a small community (like a trailer park). Might be an interest business idea.

Why would you assume full solar? No solar was shown and there's no way that price tag covers solar to run that kitchen and A/C. This is clearly designed for the grid. Maybe they will allow you to add on solar options, but more likely you're on your own to build a solar setup that will feed its grid connection. Clearly it will have more or less traditional plumbing hookups, like any other prefab. Those are all standard fixtures, not RV/Marine type designed for holding tanks and dump sites.

Again the whole process took a little over an hour. I have seen someone take longer to unhitch and park a caravan lol

[@paulgreen3030]

Well, the whole point of it is being modular, so chances are, they’ll have new models with stairs in them with no roof OR it will be a model that is taller than the others that does have a roof, and it will connect with other models to be just right, and probably have different kinds of stairs that you can get. That way you can have regular stairs, maybe with storage underneath, or have spiral stairs, maybe with glass all around it or not, depending on what the customer wants in that moment.

This is incredible to see. The mansions are amazing, but this is something most people can get their hands on. Heck, the average quarter million dollar home in the US, you could sell that and get a 4 or 5 acre lot, and a boxabl for you, the kids, even a guest house and still come out with a few thousand in your pockets, and no mortgage. When the kiddo is ready for college, they can take their space with them, no need for an apartment. If this really catches on, landlords could save fortunes providing utility hookups and flat pads for these. Set up a few lots near a University, got a dorm where the students arrive with their own homes, and leave with them when they're done. Also siding companies could make a fortune making exterior cladding for those who want their boxabl to look more traditional, even folding roof modules that had a traditional peaked roof, but were made of folding solar panels on a collapsible frame. Off grid with style, etc. The potential of this concept is staggering, and with the economic crunch that people have felt for decades now as houses turned from 10 year investments to 30 year loans, this could wind it back. Buy a Boxable for 50 grand, and since it's modular, they could upgrade your home with panels and additions as your family grew, etc. My mind is blown, for sure!

tiny homes have always fascinated me and these look so lovely, but the biggest thing that bugs me is how unattainable it actually is for the average person. even buying a normal house is almost completely out of the question for folks renting who live on tight budgets. tiny homes seem affordable because you hear '50,000$ house" but in reality you still need land to put it on, which requires a larger down payment than a home, and then with bare land you often have to figure out plumbing, sewer systems, electricity. not to mention the legal backflips involved. its so much more complex of an idea than it is being marketed as, and as cool as I think it is, I wish it was more attainable for lower income individuals who may see the price tag and get their hopes up.

Both concepts are impractical. Typically there is a square footage requirement to even place something, plus you need land, hookups, etc. Expanding homes with these would require more foundation, more hookups, permits, etc, all over again, allot of $$, maybe cheaper than expanding naturally, but not by much, and an apartment-type structure wouldn't work either. Again, cost, structural components, etc. A traditional apartment would make way more sense. I do think there could be little communities of these, but not enough to make a real impact. Most will probably just put these in their backyards and stuff, the % that get rented out will be a small amount.

I think the refrigerator size is perfect as is. As a person who shops once per month for groceries I appreciate a large refrigerator-and in fact couldn’t live without one. I also cook and bake every week, so a large refrigerator is necessary. I love the design of the house, and could be quite comfortable living in one. My only problem would be where to put it without being out in the middle of nowhere, rather than within city limits. Also, there was no mention of heating or air conditioning so that may be another unforeseen expense. Finally, there are no closets. If you have to add in IKEA style storage units that will begin to consume the available interior square footage.

11:03 when the wall sweeps out to the lip of the base it looks like a perfect place for rain to sheet down the wall and water to infiltrate the gap, seeping under the wall and into the house. No doubt something they have resolved on production versions. This being a prototype it is likely to have faults: I'd be interested to know how they resolved the junction between the floor and the pivotable walls.

[@Xavanux]

I would guess that for this prototype version it is just to showcase how the house would be assembled. I do not believe you would repack the home later. One solution I can think of is that once the home is assembled, you put a type of putty or grout into those edges to form a seal against the elements. Then, IF you do want to pack the home up again, you just remove that sealant and pack the home. Otherwise, I guess that would be a major maintenance thing you would have to check your home on to make sure it doesn't leak and get into the home.

[@chiechie9090]

When I saw this, I first considered it as a replacement to mobile homes, to which this doesn't feel like a good approach. The cost for the unit is as much as a new single-wide mobile home, but at less than half the square footage. Sure it looks nice, but it is inferior compared to the competition in the owner markets this is aiming to cater to: -For people who need a manufactured home due to cost, portability is meaningless and they will choose a single wide for more floorspace at the same cost. -For people with enough money for a highly portable traveling home, an RV would be cheaper due to the lack of shipping costs. -For those who could combine pieces to construct a larger home, the cost/sqft would be greater than a fixed home. -For undeveloped country markets, the portability may make it the only manufactured option, but likely still cost prohibitive for those living there. Where these DO make sense is for people who want guest rooms in large estates, cabin rentals, festival setups, MAYBE as a country house on someone's second property, or for missionary/scientific outposts. I don't think people are going to be LIVING in these.

[@bmo5082]

I agree with all the points you have made. I hate to say it, but these seem like a posh mobile home that try to fulfill a need by making it needlessly complicated and more expensive, albeit with better marketing.

With other elements, like the price of the land and certified contractors, the price adds up something like 100k, but there are still huge advantages that make this way more interesting in my eyes : personalisation & speed. To me, Boxable won't make houses more affordable in the near term (though their houses will get cheaper as volume increases), but they definietly will make them way more of a purchase than a project. Once you signed the deed for the land, and dealt with the paperwork for the permit, you essentially only have to select your options & layout, press buy and wait for your home to arrive. Probably would be around a month of waiting list in a fully ramped-up state. That's VERY fast. Also, because it can be installed in a day, there are way less weather worries and other external conditions to factor in.

This is the comment I was looking for. I just can't see how this thing is practical in the end. It is a novelty for the wealthy. Which makes sense as they are the only people who will be able to buy anything soon enough.

Very good $$$...summing up, but try to think futuristic as how the structure is design and put together, 4 tie down bolts, clip-on service connections, ground space to the minimum or build on top another, tow behind trailer. This is when regulators, by-laws, planners and politicians put their heads together for a progressive world of tomorrow.

[@scarecrow0774]

These small houses have always caught my interest, however personally I still think a better bang for your buck is buying brand new trailers and putting it on a plot of land if I was gonna go an extremely affordable route for a house. You can get really nice and big double wide trailers for like 30-50k with updated kitchens, bathrooms, open concepts, master suits, some have patios your can order to be built on them. If you want the full thing it’s a bit more expensive, but it’s the options you have. They’re much much much larger than small houses for similar prices and similar amenities. Id imagine the utility cost on a tiny house would be amazing though

@@Centermass762 yeah I shouldn’t have said double wide, double wides are about 80-90k I could have sworn I seen them for 30-50k. 30-50k gets you the single wide trailers, still though a much better deal than one of these. Just instead of triple and quadruple the room, you’ll have double to alittle below triple the amount of square footage. I must have mistaken the single wife’s for double wides when I was looking before (I actually was looking into Sherman village in canton Ohio on a rent to own bases, or just out right buying them and that’s where I got the numbers but I mistook the units)

This is no '"new idea" several companies through out several countries have tried this.... don't just assume someone disagreeing is wrong. These fast homes are almost always a scam, to educate you on this would require me to dump over hundreds of hours of research into you. Which I would if you weren't rude. Also people who need... like NEED a house, have time had time to learn. What have you been doing to be in that situation, obviously people grinding and working don't have that issue. It's people who don't take responsibility and want things just given to them, easiest people to scam. Also The majority You have time... saying you don't for something like this???? It's your house. 1.water 2.food 3.Shelter Come on its basics of being a human, every single one of your ancestors knew that. What's your excuse? Start learning, fool. Like today.. Start learning NOW how to build one, in a year you might actually have something good.

[@ChandravijayAgrawal]

I think houses like these need compensation like free water, gas connection, like if government restricts people building home in small area, it will save a lot of construction effort, less pollution in home area, and people can have more savings, these should absolutely be promoted, also I think if they compromise in quality somewhat, it can be done under $20k in many countries
