Boxabl as a Solution to the Housing Crisis and Disaster Relief

Custom, made to order, right off the assembly line – houses? That’s exactly what the founders of Boxabl, a $3B company, deliver. Since 2017, founders Paolo Tiramani and Galiano Tiramani have been shaking up the housing industry with their sustainable, easy-to-produce homes.

“The industry itself was outdated and due for a refresh, as home prices were too high for many people, “ said Paolo. “We decided to change how houses are produced so that they would be more affordable. However, we didn’t reinvent the wheel – to reduce costs, we looked to the assembly line, which had already shown how to mass produce a product in the shortest time possible.”

Typically, building a home involves heavy labor, sometimes in inclement weather, for months on end. Boxabl moved that process indoors to its factory, where it efficiently manufactures every aspect of its homes. Knowing how important it is for a home to feel personal, Boxabl also allows the client to create the home layout they prefer, similar to a life-size, stackable Lego configuration. 

The Casita, Boxabl’s popular tiny home and very first product model, features a kitchen, bathroom, and all appliances in an apartment-style layout. Elegant upgrades such as deep soaking tubs, modern lighting fixtures and vessel sinks are some of the luxurious touches owners can opt for in these custom, manufactured homes. 

“With Boxabl, we create a finished home that is ready to ship in one minute,” said Galiano. “This cuts down on significant costs, which are a large part of why buying a home remains out of reach for many who simply can’t afford it.”

Boxabl’s innovative approach to housing has caught the attention of Elon Musk, who purchased one of the startup’s earlier prototypes. After the billionaire tweeted the delivery of his custom Boxabl home, interest in the new startup skyrocketed. Elon Musk isn’t the only admirer of their work, as they currently have a waitlist of 110,000 customers eagerly looking forward to the delivery of their Casita model home. 

What has made Boxabl a success so far is the level of quality in the homes they produce. “People assume affordable means cheap or low quality,” stated Galiano. “We are defying that expectation – we produce houses on an assembly-line within a factory, and they are built to last.”

For Boxabl, strong building materials are one of the most important aspects of their homes’ design. Their Casita model uses steel, concrete, and EPS foam. These are all non-biodegradable materials that are resistant to pests, mold, and other hazards. For extra protection against fire, hurricane-strength winds, and other acts of nature, the walls, roof, and flooring materials for the manufactured homes are produced with structurally laminated panels. With these top-tier features, the Casita tiny home is actually stronger than most newly built homes on the market today. 

Another goal of the founders is to be able to assist those who were displaced by natural disasters with affordable, easy-to-erect homes. They see Boxabl’s manufactured homes as a viable way to quickly house those affected by hurricanes, tornados, and other occurrences and get them back on the path to normalcy. 

“When a disaster hits, people don’t have months to wait for a new home to be built. Our Casita model can be unpacked in about an hour, plus it includes all of the necessary appliances for added convenience,” Galiano stated.

So, what’s next for Boxabl’s founders? “We’re trying to become the biggest player in a $13 trillion global construction industry,” explained Paolo. “Throughout the process, we always aimed to go big. We’ve been told “no” a million times, and we’ve had a million things not go our way. Looking back, it was all a part of the learning experience to prepare us for where we are now.” With a second factory to expand production and meet increased demand, Boxabl seems poised to lead the way in new sustainable housing creation.
