Move enhanced the Company's ability to bring its manufactured buildings to its customers. As part of this effort, BOXABL has engaged licensed general contracting capability in California, the first step toward the Company bidding directly on its own site-development and installation projects.

Historically, BOXABL has manufactured its Casita units while third-party contractors — hired either by BOXABL or directly by the customer — handled some or all of the permitting, site preparation, foundation work, and final installation, with BOXABL overseeing the project rather than owning it outright. The new developer arm changes that model. BOXABL has hired its own general contractor, licensed in California, giving the Company full ownership of the entire project from factory to finished product rather than overseeing third parties. This builds upon BOXABL's previous turnkey option, in which BOXABL hired third-party contractors and oversaw their work. Under the new model, BOXABL now has full ownership of the entire project — contracting directly with its own general contractor rather than managing third parties on the customer's behalf.

"This new capacity allows BOXABL to lead the effort for real estate development, and not limit ourselves to just being a manufacturer," said Galiano Tiramani, BOXABL founder and co-CEO. "BOXABL is looking to expand into the market of home building by being able to contract directly with service providers that already exist and still deliver the high-quality product that we have in the past, but at even lower costs."

How the Developer Arm Works

The developer arm is designed to serve two categories of customers:

  • Individual customers: Homeowners purchasing a single Casita will have the option of a more streamlined, bundled path from permitting through final installation, reducing the number of parties they need to manage themselves.
  • Large-scale customers: Real estate developers, municipalities, and institutional buyers pursuing multi-unit or community-scale projects will be able to engage BOXABL directly as a full-service delivery partner — contracting with BOXABL for site evaluation, entitlement support, site work, and installation alongside the units themselves, or inviting BOXABL to bid on these scopes through a competitive RFP process. BOXABL expects to expand this in-house capability to other states as demand warrants, either by hiring additional general contractors licensed in those states or by having its existing general contractor(s) obtain licensing in new states.

Strategic Rationale

The Company said the shift is intended to:

  • Remove a layer of cost and coordination between BOXABL and the finished home
  • Offer more predictable, bundled pricing for site work and installation
  • Improve quality control and warranty alignment between the factory-built unit and the site work supporting it
  • Strengthen BOXABL's competitive position when bidding on larger commercial, municipal, and multi-unit developments
