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?

3:01 You can see the stairs in the bottom left image. I have seen these stacked on top of each other an whilst I didnt get a chance to see the inside I was told they literally just dropped one on top of the other, wrapped some edging around the outside to hide the joint and boom they were done. Again the whole process took a little over an hour. I have seen someone take longer to unhitch and park a caravan lol

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.

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.

Check local codes first.

@@savage.4.24 I’m zoned ok to do it. Just stuck deciding on buying a bigger house or building a work area in the backyard. Anything in LA that is reasonably priced around a million has been garbage the past few months. Everything requires at least another 150k in renovations.

That would be interesting to build a little community with them 🤣 he did say they were like Legos

Exactly. There will be more cost than just the box. And if u count in the end it probably cost the same as building a starter house.

Facts. It's basically an unmovable caravan without the advantages and twice the price . You would be better renting a studio with proper walls.

If you already have the land it seems like a good idea better than camper trailer I think

Yeah, definitely not viable for an individual. But this definitely has some use for companies and gov to create temporary shelters and offices quickly. Imagine they had this ready during the pandemic, it would probably be used to create hospitals and vaccination centers. Lost opportunities.

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?

Here's the only problem. Zoning laws. They won't let you slap this on your fully purchased land

And what do you imagine it costs to transport one of these? To break it down, $5,000. To transport it, $5,000. To reinstall it, $5,000. Then to hook up utilities anywhere to it, $15,000. So, yeah, your average kollege kiddie aint' gonna be likely to buy one of dese to haul to Hahvahd Yahd wif him. NOT when that same $30,000 will provide you all FOUR YEARS of rent at kollege and then you can just pack your suitcase and move on. On the other hand, a buddy bought a "mobile home" to live in while we were in law skool. He had it paid for, and sold it when he was done with skool for a profit, and moved on. SO there is that.

Shouldn't be an issue, you'd just lose living space and likely only have a few options for staircase or hatch lid to avoid utilities.. Id burry a large cement septic tank directly underneath and use it for cold storage/ safe room, and a sm one to covertly collect rain water . Really they should make a sub ground model, would be cheaper not needing doors, windows or roof..

thanks, Darren! glad our videos were helpful!

Don't leave out the rest of the team

@@EnesPlus very....very helpful

fair enough

If it were economically sound they would have tiny home parks, just like mobile home parks. I'd love to see it, mobile homes are so flimsy and skirting is almost always poorly done at least these tiny homes seem more like a real building.

Putting a tiny house on a foundation is a great way to get a real house loan. ITS ON A FOUNDATION therefore all utilities are permanent. And utilities don't treat it like a trailer. Install and monthly costs are cheaper because you will never back up a truck and move away without paying the bill. The foundation is the difference.

Yes, I was just thinking about that, about the cost of land to put it on, plus any additional charges for essentials that need to be provided. It is still an amazing price and the way forward but not in the price range of most people.

Yep it’s easy to just put the end product cost

Good point!

love that, thank you!!

These aren't really tiny homes though. They're too big for that label.

@@RyanHellyer The definition for "tiny" home is fairly loose. "Living Big in a Tiny home" channel. You could see a lot of places that have as much or more in square footage and even more amenities, some of them.

Not affordable at all you can build a tiny home yourself if your not dumb for way cheaper I mean way cheaper

@@YesYourRight Idea behind is to make it moveable and durable, while reducing the cost. You can build a shed maybe yeah but in big cities that have housing price of 2 million for apartments, this might be an ideal way to live

It's not a house. It's part of a house. And you don't know about its quality by watching a marketing video. I can build a proper concrete-structure house of the same size, with much better insulation and technical specs for the same price, or far less if I have the same amount of initial investment they have for the production. It'll be a proper home with far better sound and heat insulation, massively better longevity (like at least 10x), and better in every way. Except you can't move it around...like for example a thief can't steal your home while you're out jogging...

@@pistonburner6448 lol, this $50K house has tracking device hidden in steal and concrete walls. For this price, how will they unbox and connect to plumbing is interesting?

@@pistonburner6448 ​ Sure I don't know if the house is actually quality or garbage, but on the surface it looks like a quality product. Secondly, even if what you said is true, the question is, can YOU mass produce it and if it's a much better product that this, then shouldn't you or someone else then be able to compete against this product? If an average house builder can make a better product cheaper then what's stopping them from doing it?

@@CaptainSnuggleButt Many can compete against this. They're called "all the other houses that are built"... You can go ahead and ask any builder to give an offer for a house that size, I bet you you'll end up far lower in costs than this thing. Hell, just find online or from a group of friends, even using a real estate agent who knows of people who might want the same as you, and you can make a joint order for eg. 4-10 of the same kind of homes and you can probably save at least 10% off the cost of your home. As long as they're relatively nearby each other, optimally you'd jointly buy a plot of land to build on. And mass produced? Houses are pretty much mass-produced, some even factory produced. Yes, I have happened to have run a business that produced concrete structure homes, and we pre-fabricated the walls in a factory. And the floors came from another factory. They were luxury homes so ours were never cookie-cutter models, but instead we were given architect drawings and then we manufactured the structure, ordered in the other elements we needed, and built it with our systems, which was a super fast on-site building process. There is little to no savings to be had in pre-manufacturing the whole home using complicated folding mechanisms. We had windows and doors pre-installed at some point, but it wasn't worth it, it was much better to just have all the fastening systems in place and just install everything on-site. Better quality, less damage, and installation was pretty much just as fast and easy. Especially since working with custom designs it's overall a bit different. But things like that are not where you make noticeable savings. That house they're selling needs a lot of work beforehand, which means lots of costs, often can exceed the price of that house even twofold (if including plot price). Then their website says you need to contract the installation of the house separately, so that's an additional cost. Then there's a lot of work after installing the house too. Many prefab proper homes come in at lower prices, or you get a much larger home for the same price, and it's a proper house with much better specs...I assume. I can't be sure but I suspect so, looking at how they make them, and seeing as they're not displaying any technical info.

@@pistonburner6448 I don't know where you are from but you can't get a new house in Finland even as small as that anywhere near $50k. Of course, the price depends on the location heavily, but new apartments with approximately the same sq footage cost about 4x as much, and old apartments are about 2x the price. Also if many can compete against this, then why aren't these smaller companies then taking advantage of this fact? The plot isn't that expensive, so where are the cheap houses

They actually can! Here's a video of a Boxabl on top of another Boxabl. Click the link below to see an example of this. ukposts.info/have/v-deo/mYhiiIuij26T2ac.html

@@EnesPlus I love that they can be stacked

The Founder was referring to the assembly process as Legos. It seems they can be attached horizontally or vertically per customer's request.

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.

Did you watch the video? The answer is in the video.

I suppose you could add that. I wouldn't want the washer, dryer in my sleeping space. I'd also go for a smaller fridge, that was huge. You could easily add a porch or wrap around verandah by yourself. I did that on my last house its easy

Hi, how’re you?

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.

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.
