    if it starts at 50k then imagine if people bought a better bigger luxury for the same price of a normal house.

    Well compiled information given, but need an eye to eye visual with person speaking. Feels a bit dodgy otherwise? Great idea and information!

    I wonder if this will pass building code regulations here in Florida?? We have very strict codes because of hurricanes.

      Based upon your highrises collapsing just from normal wear and tear, your standards obviously aren’t strict enough.

    • Allaces305

      July 24, 2021 at 9:16 pm

      @Larry Parrish a lot in building code has changed in Miami since that building was built 40 years ago and the cause of that structural failure hasn’t been determined yet.

    • Larry Parrish

      July 24, 2021 at 9:22 pm

      @Allaces305 , the cause? Failure to enforce required repairs in a timely fashion. Duh.

      July 24, 2021 at 9:25 pm

      @Larry Parrish you’re correct.

    I live in a trailer park. I, like many, have had to replace most everything. New ones are going for 50k. But I dont see an upgrade in the quality! QUALITY is the key word here…thicker walls, better windows, doors, flooring etc…/ so YES!! the box houses look like better quality and are built w the standards of a real house, not trailer parts. The manufacturers want us to refer to our trailers as Modular Homes. Then build them as such! For example all the windows ate different sizes..? I see know why people just tack sheets up. And then there is the Mobile Home Depot Store to meet mobile home specs. You cant even go to say a Home Depot to buy a real front door. If these unfolds have real home measurements, and real ceiling heights etc…then yes I’d rather live in one instead! Zoning might be a problem? Will the future be like a trailer park where we rent the lot? My lot rent is now over 700, 8 years ago it was 553…just saying
    …sharing my story and curious. I think they are a great thing for society.

    July 24, 2021 at 10:43 pm

    I sure hope they have wind and weather tested these?
    Doesn’t it still need a concrete pad/ foundation as well as sewer & power hook ups?

    I still think there is strong thinking behind using the millions of steel shipping containers for homes like I’ve seen in Japan

    I love the tiny homes
    They are the homes for the future with Solar panels for the harsh winters and cooking..
    BECAUSE the fuel charges will get worse
    AND the taxes on large houses… WITH THE DEMONIC Democrats and all the weak party leaders who think of themselves and not the people *** tbere will be lots of food shortages..
    GET A TINY HOUSE WITH A LITTLE LAND TO GROW YOUR OWN BASIS FOOD**AND COLLECT YOUR RAIN WATER THEN PURIFY IT BY BOILING ** BECAUSE THE WAY THINGS ARE GOING **BIBLICAL PROPHECIES ARE COMING TRUE BEFORE OUR VERY EYES ** AMEN

    They would have almost no resale value or greatly diminished until this became more mainstream. Not sure if the cost per unit is low enough for FEMA. I’m all for lowering the cost of housing but I built a 20×20 addition 8 years ago for the same price. Wish them luck…

  26. Marilyn Carter

    July 25, 2021 at 4:10 am

    how safe would they be in a twister situation? i realize few houses are safe..but i’ve read that a dome style is safer.

    My favorite shows are the tiny houses shows. I would love to live in one. But it first of all not economically in my situation and I also live in Florida and have never seen or heard of them being them being here.

    These will become a successful niche product assuming their build quality is in line with their cost. They do have rv trailers and park model mobile homes as stiff competition, the rv trailers often times cost far less, can be setup in less time, don’t require any type of foundation and can be towed by a normal pickup truck or large suv. It also depends on how financing works with these fold up homes, I doubt they’ll qualify for a mortgage due to how mobile they’re (similar to how single widespread can be more difficult to mortgage) but it also won’t qualify for an rv loan.

  38. Dave Johnstone

    Frigging awesome. Are you using recycled plastic? As long as the cost stays low and greed doesn’t creep in. Well done. Sheer genius 👍

    • EVOLICIOUS

      July 25, 2021 at 11:56 pm

      It’s a scam, you halfwit. The product doesn’t fit any regulation standards and no state would allow this product on a property.

    • Dave Johnstone

      July 26, 2021 at 10:30 am

      @EVOLICIOUS Thanks you halfwit. Will take that in to consideration 👍

  39. Edward Lemus

    July 25, 2021 at 11:01 am

    50k is the starting price for the house you still have to work the details with your county in regards to power and water hook ups and getting cleared and approved. 50k can easily become 100k.

    • EVOLICIOUS

      July 25, 2021 at 11:55 pm

      Not to mention the lack of any regulation being followed on building code, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. This product is a mere scam and nothing else.

    I wonder why this looks amazing and such an innovative move in the field while denouncing similar protocols on real-scale estates. I may take distance from miniature toys to see if it makes any difference.

    How easy are they to access internal components?

  46. Booty Daddy

    July 25, 2021 at 4:41 pm

    50k is kinda alot for something with no basement no plumbing, no anything, besides a bundle of plastic and wood… yes houses cost 60k+ but you get land and an actual house not something that can be seen as an expensive tent

    They are Practical, Affordable, a Great Alternative, and a “Great Solution” in many ways. I personally Love the idea. I simply Love them. I am dreaming of owning one, of living in one, and/or of using one as a work office. This is a Great Video Report, CNET. Two Thumbs Up!

    how much cheaper is Boxab’s houses compared to the normal conventional house ?

  53. Robyn Cogert

    July 26, 2021 at 1:08 pm

    I think these will be essential as there will be many more seniors in the future who need affordable housing. I would buy one now but I don’t think they are winterized for cold-climate states.

  54. Bryan Youn

    I hope it is engineered enough to withstand pressure of the roof so the foldable hinges and clipping parts don’t fall off. Especially when snow accumulates and the pressure increases.

    Traditional building methods are very expensive. Yes but we need full sized modular family homes that are factory built and the modules simply bolted together on site. They could use new lightweight composite materials that are much stronger and have higher insulation values.

    $50,000 for 20’x20′ home is $125 per square foot not counting the land, delivery cost, utilities hook up? In some parts of the country that would be cheap. In the midwest where I live that’s about the going rate for new home construction. Lumber prices and other items have risen a lot since Covid though.
