Boxabl is an American housing construction technology company. It was founded in 2017 by Galiano Tiramani, Paolo Tiramani and Kyle Denman to supply accessory dwelling units (ADUs) for low-income people and senior citizens in the US.
History
Boxabl was started in 2017 by father-son duo Paolo and Galiano Tiramani. Paolo Tiramani is an industrial designer and mechanical engineer who holds over 150 patents, and Galiano Tiramani is a serial technology entrepreneur. The company started with $2 million by the co-founders and has raised a total of $6M in funding over 4 rounds, as of February 2022.
In May 2021, the company got a federal contract for more than $9 million to build and deliver 156 casitas for a military base in Florida. In May 2021, CBS News reported on Boxabl's appearance at that year's TinyFest California small home show.
In August 2021, Boxabl caught media attention when it was reported that Elon Musk lives in a Boxabl unit, though Musk later clarified that he did not.
In May 2022, the company announced a partnership agreement with homebuilder DR Horton, which included an investment and resource sharing, including a phase 1 order of 100 Casita homes.
Products
Boxabl provides pre-fabricated homes, called Casita, which have walls, a floor and roof that fold into each other to form a self-contained transportable unit. The homes can be unpacked and assembled in less an hour. The homes are manufactured in an assembly line similar to automobile assembly lines. The houses are made with materials including steel, ceramic boards and expanded polystyrene foam.
The company's flagship model is a 375 square foot $50,000 home that ships in an eight foot long container. Various models can be stacked and configured into a variety of configurations. The company reported that it could produce a new home every 90 minutes.
Operations
Boxabl is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, and has a factory in Northern Las Vegas. Paolo Tiramani is the company's CEO.
