the boxabl is not that much different from some of the Turkish built container based housing that's been developed for use at US military bases in the middle east and central asia. And used for things like "man camp" mining and oil/gas camps in northern canada.
If you were to go to the US base in Qatar you'd see housing not radically different from it. Designed to ship by standard 20/40 ft ocean cargo container.

I am skeptical that it costs 50k however, the thing as shown in the front page website promo that occupies an approximate 20'x20 area surely costs more than that.
- bombcar 4y agoThe thing is that the military housing is designed to be moved multiple times, for a house there's really no need to make it fancy and expandable like that; if you can save some money by shipping it in a box that needs some basic assembly you should probably go that way, even though it looks cool to watch it build itself.
- BOXBOX123123 4y agoIncorrect. The Boxabl uses all new building materials and manufacturing methods that allow for rapid production of housing. Think 1 house per minute. The new building materials also result in superior energy ratings, fire, structural and more. The shippability of the unit also makes it superior to a cramped shipping container house. The room can ship at the lowest cost without compromising on room dimensions. Also, the price is the price, they have SEC reporting that shows the price is correct.
