BUILT AMERICA MAGAZINE | WEST

Since its founding in 2017, Boxabl has been on a mission to redefine how housing is built, transported, and experienced. By introducing a groundbreaking approach to modular construction, the company has opened doors—literally and figuratively—to a future where affordable, scalable, and efficient housing is within reach for all. Co-founder Galiano Tiramani describes the journey as one of solving problems that have plagued the construction industry for decades, focusing on a singular idea that has grown into a revolutionary movement. “The original idea came from my co- founder, Paolo,” Tiramani shares. “He built a house using traditional modular construction and realized there was a big issue with shipping. So, he came up with the idea to fold up the house.” This deceptively simple concept—to create a foldable room module—has profound implications for housing affordability and accessibility. Traditional prefabricated homes require expensive wide-load shipping, limiting their reach and increasing their costs. Boxabl’s solution, a 20-foot room module that folds down to just 8.5 feet wide, enables easy, cost-effective transport and opens the door to scaling housing production like never before. Reinventing the Construction Playbook Boxabl is more than a manufacturer—it’s a disruptor in an industry where innovation often takes a backseat to tradition.
