What happens if the deposit isn’t paid?
If a deposit is not made, your reservation may be cancelled or delayed; the deposit confirms your place in line and helps initiate the next steps like site review and permitting.
Is there a price-lock or pricing guarantee?
Orders placed under current pricing are protected from later list-price increases according to Boxabl’s purchase terms. Specific conditions (timelines, cancellations, and contract terms) determine how long that price-lock remains valid.
How long until installation after approval?
In an approved state, once your site documentation is accepted and the unit is manufactured, installation scheduling is rapid. Exact timelines depend on production queue, transport logistics, and local permitting.

Standard hot water systems and basic kitchen appliances are included depending on the package; Boxabl typically supplies electric systems though in some regions gas may be an option. Appliance details are listed on the product spec sheet.
Can Casitas be sold unfurnished?
Boxabl can offer different trim and equipment levels; customers should consult the sales team for a minimal or shell-only option where available.
Can Casitas be joined or stacked?
Yes — one of the design goals is modularity. Casitas can be connected side-by-side or stacked depending on local building codes and engineering. Stacking or linkage configurations must follow approved plans and permit requirements.
Are ADA-accessible floor plans available?
Boxabl indicates accessibility-focused plans are available or in development—availability varies by location and code constraints. Contact Boxabl for details about compliant layouts in your area.
Is a Casita a manufactured home or an RV?
Casitas are modular, code-engineered structures designed to meet building standards for permanent installations. They are not RVs or traditional manufactured homes (HUD) in the usual sense; classification depends on how they are sited and permitted locally.
Does Boxabl include smart-home features?
Certain smart devices and options are available depending on packages — inquire for a list of supported IoT features and compatible systems such as app control or connected appliances.
What warranty and insurance are provided?
Boxabl offers a manufacturer warranty covering construction defects; buyers must arrange property insurance appropriate for their site and use. Warranty terms are spelled out in the purchase agreement.
What building codes do Casitas comply with?
Casitas are engineered to comply with applicable building, fire and safety codes for their intended jurisdictions; the unit's engineering package supports permitting in many areas. Local code review and approvals are required prior to installation. The Casita has received state modular approval under the residential building code in 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 https://icc-es.org/report-listing/ESR-4725/.
