The current cost of the Casita for the unit itself is $60,000. When you place an order for the Casita online, your pricing is not locked in until you’ve received a quote for your total project cost after being passed to a dealer. While we don’t anticipate any changes in cost for the Casita, we cannot predict how the cost of raw materials could change within the timeframe between ordering and receiving your Casita. Once you’ve been contacted by a dealer in your area, your pricing and next steps will be confirmed following a site survey and quote.

When you submit an order for the Casita on our website, your order details will be reviewed to determine if you’re in a state where we are able to sell the Casita. If you’re in an area where we’re currently approved, your order details will be handed off to a BOXABL dealer who will be in touch to discuss the next steps in the process. Installation timing is determined by a few factors such as permit approval time, site preparation, complexity of installation, and unit availability. Your dealer will communicate with you along the way to help better understand the true timing for your project from start to finish. If you are in an area where we aren’t currently approved to sell the Casita, you will be added to our queue for your state and will be updated on approval timelines for your area.

BOXABL CASITA

  • The Casita is engineered to connect side by side or be stackable. However, the feasibility of stacking units depends on the specific property in question and would require an assessment by a third-party structural engineer.

  • At this time, details of an ADA Casita have not been established yet. We will provide an update once plans and pricing are available. Please stay tuned on our social media platforms and website for the most updated information.
  • The Casita is not classified as a manufactured, trailer, or a HUD home. They do not currently fall under the HUD guidelines and are built to a higher code standard than most traditional manufactured homes.
  • At this point, the Casita does not have any smart home features included from the factory; however, this is something we plan to integrate in the future.

BOXABL currently provides a 12-month limited warranty on the Casita to cover manufacturer defects. The appliances are covered by the individual manufacturers’ warranties.

The type of insurance required depends on how your Casita is being set up. You will need to obtain insurance pertaining to your specific situation. Traditional homeowners’ insurance is available for modular homes.

The Casita has received state modular approval under the residential building code in Arizona, New Mexico, and California. In Alaska, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Kansas, Oklahoma, Oregon, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming where there is currently no state modular program, the Casitas may be deployed subject to local jurisdiction approval. In any other state, we are currently unable to sell under the classification of a modular home (residential building code). As we receive additional approvals, we will update people looking to install a Casita in those locations.

BOXABL’s SIP panels, used in the construction of the Casita, meet international building code. You can refer to our panel listing available at.
