This is a great idea with a promising future, but I think the sale price needs to come down a bit more for it to be appealing to the masses. I think with some higher production volume and more efficient building techniques, they could get the price per unit from 50k to around 20-30k. That would make all the difference for tons people.
@@kdrapertrucker Boxabl comes stock with a flat roof system. Some areas require a pitched roof. In that case we will provide your installer with roof plans and they will add the roof on site.
I would love this for my son! He has many disabilities. That way he could finally live on his own but be in my back yard. How I wish I could afford this for him. Yet still be close to help.
Me, too. My disabled adult son would really benefit from having a place to call his own. But this could be close to where family lives, too. I hope you will be able to do it. Maybe try crowd funding it?
When I was in the medical corps we had our operating rooms that would unfold like this. The big difference was we could tear it back down, attach special tires and drive off with it to a new location. Just so you know, I was in a MASH and we would set up an entire hospital using mobile building and specialized tents.
Hilariously done, and fascinating. And the materials! I grew up in a poorly built home that had flooding problems almost from the day we moved into it, brand new. I moved out when I got married, and into a long series of apartments, all either with repeated water damage, or built about 100 years ago and falling apart. Now I'm paying the price in major health issues. I just want somewhere clean and nice to live, like this!
Got my first apartment and things can haven't changed. A lot of bandages are done as repairs instead of doing real repairs and most maintenance men don't know or care to do the job right. Had kitchen floor floor done, 2 days and it was 5 layers from past bandages instead of real repairs. Contactor was only allowed to do surface repairs and my kitchen floor is slanted more than ever and the tiles we're put on wrong (overlapping each other). Maintenance man quickly noticed the slanting kitchen floor and said "They should've use leveling compound.". No no. Not when you haven't removed the whole water damaged floor, bottom of kitchen sink would be under the floor.
Definitely keeping an eye on Boxabl products in the future. I am very interested in a stackable boxabl house ( possibly off grid) with 2-3 bedrooms on the second floor. I could make the “first floor bedroom” into a office or something. Love the idea, and the price is actually decent compared to a tiny home. Wish you guys good luck on your products in the future, cant wait for more designs.
@Greg Spolar I'm not ignorant when I plainly see the majority of mobile home parks I have visited are placed in some of the most treacherous weather zones around. These are houses too. In many flood prone areas in the US (Mississippi, Louisiana) most homes are not built on platforms or stilts. In tornado prone areas (Kansas ect) most homes are not built underground and one must pay out of pocket to get a storm shelter of sorts. Many houses in mudslide areas (California etc) are still being built in mud lslide areas. Beach houses are still being built too close to the beach. Also, a lot of builders in Hurricane prone areas are still not building homes (ROUND structured etc) homes that are designed specifically against Hurricanes. No. It is not I who is igmorant.
Eh, wrong, licensed contractors, such as myself, not only DO take it into account, but, we're required to! Even customers with plenty of money don't want a sprinkler system in their house, even if they're pop down with nothing but a low profile plastic cover showing. Building codes have changed dramatically over the past 40 years in hurricane and flood zones, so, there you have that. Hiring an unlicensed contractor to save money will get you exactly what you pay for, every time!
Love it! The only thing I would change is the overhang on the roof. We get torrential rain in SC, and having a significant soffit area to help keep the exterior dry and mitigate moisture issues. If a surface is at all susceptible to mold or mildew, it will grow there in this climate. My husband did project management for a company that does FEMA builds for flood victims in SC. Something like this on a larger scale (FEMA homes in SC must be over 1000 sq. feet and have a laundry area). All of the projects that they did also had a covered porch. Contractors here have issues with different building crews taking off to new disaster locations and delaying the next part of the project. Something like this would be great to cut down on those problems and get people back into a house faster.
I'm a GC in Florida. I think that if Boxabl 'certifies' contractors throughout the US, the price to install and the scope covered should be fixed so that a buyer knows what the final investment will be. The only variable in the pricing should be the cost of permits, local impact fees (if any), etc.
What about the numerous complicated variables? Grading the land before pouring the foundation? Distance from the road the box comes in on? What the utility hook-ups are like and how far they are from the buildsite? Etc.
$50k is the house. Don’t forget to add price of buying, clearing, and prepping land for utility hookup ($20K), shipping ($2k), setup (??$$). Wish they would make a “Bottom line - How much does it REALLY cost” video.
For $50,000 you get a fully finished house. Whats not included in that price is your land and site setup. This can include utility hookups, foundation, landscaping, permits, and more. Depending on your location and the complexity of your site, this cost can range anywhere from $5,000 to $50,000.
There house costs $50,000 on their end, plus shipping Done, your end is the rest, you need to figure out, so for $100K that's really Not that big of a house, depending on Where you live, I suppose in more densely populated cities, that might sound like a BIG BARGAIN
Wow...50k is a decent price for a lot of homes already finished in my state, MO. So I suppose it depends on where you're located. East and West coasts may be better suited since their housing is so high.
This can become a future of houses, it's not expensive, fire resistance, and pretty durable. This can become a good solution for homeless people as well.
I agree. we also need local laws to get rid of rules that would prevent these homes. like where I live. I have extra land, but they would deny my right to build a tiny home, which I would use as an emergency shelter or extra housing for my family so they don't have to be house broke. also, they need to come down on the price.
If you don’t mind sleeping in a toxic VOC chamber... This is amongst the very worst believe me, I’m not a competitor but a retired healthy home builder. This will sicken people! And our planet...
One of the biggest attractions of the tiny house movement is always the PRICE! Which is something that varies between $2,000 - $30,000! Anything higher begins to take away from those who truly need them!
I've been following Boxabl for awhile. Love it! If they could put in a pocket door to the bathroom that would create much more versatile space on either side for tall storage furniture or shelves.
I wonder how strong the galvanized steel panels actually are? The one they put together looked damaged at one end. Could that happen easily while putting it together?
Logically, for those wondering, if they can stack them a owner could have a roof, pitched or shed roof for draiage, or snow load. I know they have heat and air. These homes are amazing, would love to find a spot for one here in the Kansas City, No area. Would love to be the first to live in one of these homes.
Stainless steel panels "how perfect is that seam?" Well, it's off by an 1/8" and dented on the top. Trolling aside, keep pushing forward. Cool concept if you make it affordable. Unlike tiny home builders who build a 400 sqft home for $88k +.
Never knew these homes existed. Thanks. Amazing the cost and energy savings. Will be a boon in some areas of the country and in overcrowded countries as well. Do they ship to other countries?
interesting to see what will happen in the future when mobile houses become so easy to install that it comes into conflict with taxing issues (like she alluded to) similar to the problems the earth ship communities in NM came up against.
Yes! and to make it handicap accessible for shower so cool..maybe a opportunity to get some homeless vets out of the elements..very cool..hurricane resistant ! Im in florida and so excited 💝💝💝those guys must have had fun shooting at it LOL🤣
Very exciting, expect this concept & design, along w/ easy set up will become very popular! We know it's not 49 a square foot, so that's helpful.Wish he gave us a ball park figure though. Another Great Video Kristina, Thank you♥️
www.boxabl.com/faq says: Can you finance? Yes! Boxabl will be connecting customers with our financing partners. Many loan options are available. Before we finalize your Box order our financing partners will reach out to you to discuss loan options. Its likely you can finance your Boxabl with a traditional 30 year mortgage.
I'd love to live in one off grid or in town! I would buy one to live in the country for sure. Market these to film studios as well who could use them sets!
I thought for sure we'd be seeing this home put together and sort of a consistent non choppy Fell Swoop type of deal. I waited and waited to see the house come together and it never happened
The who ideal behind the tiny house movement was to live in an affordable space, become a minimalist to gain financial freedom. That's why Skoolies and van life is popular. $3,000-$6,000 for the basic bus then roughly 10,000 more to modify it into an Rv and asking someone if you can use their land for vehicle registration and you have saved roughly $30,500. The people that need a home don't have thousands of dollars to drop on something like this or they probably would have a house already.
Pray that it isn’t! I don’t want this toxic waste box shipped to my once great country. As a healthy home consultant, this is horrendous and will harm. Both people and our only planet…
I’m wondering how thick or thin the interior walls are. For instance, in a mobile home the walls are so paper thin you can hear everything from the next rooms. This would not be ideal.
If you want to help homeless people just volunteer at a local shelter. Most homeless people need more than a nice place to live - they're homeless due to mental issues or criminal activity.
Right. I was thinking the same thing. I’m not paying $200 to be put on a waiting list when I’m not guaranteed to actually get one. Also, with them being so tight lipped about when they’ll actually become available. It’s probably best to wait
@imaworkinprogresst00 Agree and believe that’s why you have to pay to be put on the waitlist but it seems that paying to be put on a waitlist isn’t confirmation/ guaranteed you’ll get one when it’s available. And that could be 5 years from now 😂🤣
In Atlanta you can't get land for $20,000. Avg lot development alone is $60k. This would be great for affordable housing in Atlanta but it's still not doable if you can't buy the land you need.
I would really love it if you guys can disassemble the product into panels but leaves the joints and connections for fast onsite assembly. Then the system will more likely be accepted by the local code reviewer (btw, R24 is not enough insulation in many northern regions now). The system will gain much more applications, for sure. I am amazed by the idea, hopefully, can use the panels someday for our projects. :)
Wow that is so cool I could see that really taking off not only here but in third world countries and I would love to know when they release an IPO. Great video
I think this is a great idea but I want to comment, that even though I am in a wheelchair, I would not mind a tub as long as there are handles or a seat to help me get in and out. I tried a rolled in shower, but it rusted out my wheelchair. Come to think of it, can you have a walk in tub installed? Are there other floor plans?
I can’t wait for the housing revolution! So far the biggest barrier is government regulation, followed by mass production to reduce costs. I hope we can solve these problems soon so that everyone can have a place to call home. ❤️
The opposit of this is why I never got into advertising . 😃 This does seem a whole lot more genuine . 👏👏👏 , 👍👍up ! ... You just wait till I win the lottery lol .
LOVE the concepts, price could be a bit lower, maybe $30k instead of $50?? A lot of banks will NOT mortgage a tiny home either, so that can be a big issue depending on where you live. Plus, you have to pay for clearing or buy land as well. Off grid & pitched roofs would be another great idea😁
This is super interesting. Always wanted to live in a tiny home when I grow up with either a little land or a lot after watching HGTV. Now I’m rethinking everything! Amazing watching this video and other boxabl reviews
Are these homes still available at $50,000 for complete 375 square feet ? If yes if you buy 2 to put together as 1. Does it cost more to make 1 into 2 bedrooms?
A very cool adaptation for bath shower would be a pull up side from the floor that rolls down into the floor when you just want to shower w an option of half tubb( deeper) or full length…. Just a small technical modification;)
*This is a game changer. I'd love to see something like this for the homeless where they'd stay temporarily while transitioning to permanent housing after job training and/or mental health & addiction services.*
This is actually quite common in China, they’ve been building these for a long time already. I hate when a company tries to say they invented things like this.
Love this great idea! I immediately had more ideas to expand on eventually so I will tell u a few: They could also make an attachable and/or detached garage with option for built ins for tools & storage also with the solar panels. Another idea is to have an A- frame pitched roof option for a loft bedroom so u could use the whole downstairs for living space or just to use as a second bedroom. That way people could add on as their family grows or if they just want more space now or more space later . This A-frame could also be used above the garage area for the possibility of 3 bedrooms or office space. For space saving ideas u could have a bed on hydraulics so u could raise it to the ceiling to get it out of the way if needed. U could use side storage boxes for a small staircase to the loft bdrm. Anyway I have tons of ideas for every room so u kno where to find me if u want to add me to your design team lol
I do not know which is cuter the Boxabl or him? I want both lol. Seriously this is awesome! Thank you so much for making it affordable and I cannot wait for 2 bedroom or show me how to connect two of these!
