Boxabl is Creating a Modular, Foldable, Affordable Building System for Tiny Houses and Beyond It’s not often that I extend an invitation to the podcast from a cold email, but when Galiano Tiramani sent me photos of Boxabl’s Casita, I knew I had to have him on the show. The Casita is Boxabl’s modular ADU that ships flat and is easily assembled on-site for just $49,500. In this conversation, we’ll talk about the technology, manufacturing, and future plans for this innovative startup.
In This Episode:
What is a Boxabl house made of?
How does the house fold up and how long does it take to set up?
Site-prep tips for those thinking of a Boxabl house
R-Value, ERV, HRV, and HVAC – how does the Casita measure up (and what are all these initials)?
Some good news for tiny house dreamers in California
Exceeding standards and using new materials
Standardization vs Customization: keeping costs down is a priority
Galiano is an entrepreneur who has founded several successful startups. He is the co-founder of Boxabl.com which offers affordable housing tech solutions. Boxabl plans to dramatically reduce housing costs by reimagining building construction.

Well, Tiny House Engage is the community for you. Tiny House Engage brings together tiny house hopefuls and DIYers to share plans and resources, learn from each other’s challenges and mistakes, and celebrate our successes so that we can feel less alone while we build faster, safer, smarter, cheaper homes and embrace the tiny house lifestyle.

There are professional contractors in the community here to answer your questions about plumbing, electricity, and ventilation, and there’s also plenty of interaction between members. If you need some encouragement or just need to know how someone else solved a problem, you’ll get those answers in Tiny House Engage. I’m also very active in the community, answering questions and keeping an eye on things, so if you want to interact with me, this is a great way to do it.
