Prices are Boxabl's, as published on boxabl.com and checked October 11, 2026; Boxabl can change them. “Unit only” is the home as it leaves the factory. Boxabl's turnkey price is its own all-in package and a useful benchmark. Ordering through ADU Concepts, the site work is priced for your lot after a free review, in an itemized, written proposal. California status is as announced by Boxabl; we confirm it for your model before you order.
04How it works
How does a Boxabl installation work?
From a free lot review to move-in day. Six steps, one contractor. You deal with us from the first site visit to the final inspection, and we coordinate the factory, the truck, and the crane.
- 1
Free lot review
We check zoning, setbacks, utilities, slope, the path for the truck and crane, and whether your lot sits in a fire hazard zone. You learn whether a Casita fits, and which one.
- 2
Choose your Casita and options
Pick the size and floor plan, then the exterior, roof, and outdoor additions. You get one itemized, written proposal for everything on site.
- 3
Design and permits
We prepare the site plan, foundation and utility engineering, and energy compliance, then file the ADU permit. State law requires a decision on a complete ADU application within 60 days.
- 4
Your Casita is built
Boxabl builds the home in its factory while we pour the foundation and bring water, sewer, and power to the pad.
- 5
Delivery and set
The Casita arrives folded on a truck, a crane sets it on the foundation, and it unfolds on site. Boxabl says the unfold takes about an hour.
- 6
Finish, inspect, move in
We connect the utilities, seal and finish the exterior, build the roof, steps, or patio you chose, and walk it through final inspection.
05Make it yours
Can you customize a Boxabl Casita?
Every Casita arrives white. It does not have to stay that way. The roof, siding, color, and outdoor spaces are where a Casita becomes yours, and they are built on site. Tap a look to see it on a real Casita.

Pitched roof
A site-built gable roof with Class A rated shingles, like this Casita in a Southern California backyard. It is the single change that makes a Casita look like it belongs with the house.

Siding and paint
Board and batten, lap siding, or a two-tone paint scheme, detailed for the Casita's panels.
Covered patio
A 200 sq ft covered patio adds an outdoor room more than half the size of a Studio, on its own structure.
Entry deck and steps
A landing, steps, or a ramp sized to your door and your grade.
Breezeway courtyard
Two Casitas joined by a covered breezeway make a courtyard home. It has to be planned from the start.
Paths and landscape
Pavers, lighting, fencing, and planting, so the new home looks like it was always there.
06Casita or custom?
Should you choose a Boxabl Casita or a custom ADU?
We build both, so we will tell you which fits. A Boxabl Casita is the fastest path to a finished backyard home. A custom steel-framed ADU fits where a Casita cannot. Here is the difference, plainly.
| Compare | Boxabl Casita | Custom ADU by ADU Concepts |
|---|---|---|
| Size | 361 sq ft (Studio) or 722 sq ft (One or Two Bedroom) | Any size up to 1,200 sq ft detached, plus garage conversions, JADUs, and two-story units |
| How it is built | Built complete in Boxabl's factory, folded to ship, unfolded on your foundation | Panelized light-gauge steel frame, assembled and finished on your lot |
| Time on site | Set and unfolded in about a day once the foundation and utilities are ready, then finish work | A full on-site build after permits; the schedule follows the size and finishes |
| Floor plans | Three Boxabl floor plans; the exterior, roof, and outdoor spaces are yours to style | Our 15 layouts or your own plans, all customizable |
| Best fit | A studio or one to two bedroom backyard home on a lot a truck and crane can reach | Larger or two-story units, tight or hillside lots, fire hazard zones, and multifamily properties |
| How it is priced | Boxabl's published unit price, plus site work priced for your lot | Full design-build pricing, see our ADU cost guide |
07California rules
Is a Boxabl legal in California?
Yes, and here is how it is permitted.
Approved by the State of California
Boxabl announced state approval for the Casita Studio in 2024 and the Two Bedroom in December 2025. The state approves and inspects the factory-built home; your city or county permits and inspects the foundation, utilities, and site work.
Permitted as an ADU
On a single-family lot, a Casita is permitted as an accessory dwelling unit under state law: 4 ft side and rear setbacks, no owner-occupancy rule, and a decision within 60 days of a complete application.
Your lot decides the details
Distance to property lines, fire separation, the height of an added roof, utility capacity, and the path for the truck and crane are all lot-specific. We check every one in the first review.
Fire hazard zones
Lots in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone carry extra exterior construction rules. We tell you plainly whether a Casita fits your lot, and when a steel-framed ADU is the better path, we say so.
More on the state rules: California ADU laws, 2026.

08FAQ
Boxabl Casita questions
Paying for it: ADU financing options. More questions: ADU FAQ.
Who sells and installs Boxabl homes in Southern California?
ADU Concepts is an authorized Boxabl dealer and installer in Southern California. We are a licensed California general contractor (CSLB #1018294) based in Tarzana, serving Los Angeles, Ventura, and Orange counties. Boxabl builds the Casita in its factory; we handle the lot review, permits, foundation, utilities, delivery and crane set, and the finish work.
How much does a Boxabl Casita cost in California?
As published by Boxabl on October 11, 2026, the home alone (unit only) is $60,000 for the Casita Studio, $100,000 for the One Bedroom, and $110,000 for the Two Bedroom. Boxabl's own turnkey packages are $150,000, $195,000, and $210,000. Your total depends on your lot: utility distances, foundation, crane access, permit and impact fees, and any roof, siding, or patio you add. We price the site work after a free lot review.
Is Boxabl approved in California?
Yes. Boxabl announced California state approval for the Casita Studio in 2024 and for the Casita Two Bedroom in December 2025, and California is on its list of states it ships to. We confirm the current approval for the exact model you choose before you order. The state covers the factory-built home; your city or county still permits the foundation, utilities, and site work.
Can I put a Boxabl Casita in my backyard as an ADU?
In most of Southern California, yes. A Casita is permitted as an accessory dwelling unit, and state ADU law allows a detached ADU with 4 ft side and rear setbacks on a single-family lot. What decides it is your specific lot: room for the 19 by 19 ft or 19 by 38 ft footprint, distance to property lines, utility runs, slope, and whether a truck and crane can reach the spot.
How long does a Boxabl installation take?
Permitting is usually the longest step; under state law a complete ADU application must be approved or denied within 60 days. Boxabl builds the home while we prepare the foundation and utilities. Once the pad is ready, the Casita is set and unfolded in about a day, and connections, roof, exterior, and inspections follow.
What is the difference between what Boxabl does and what ADU Concepts does?
Boxabl builds the Casita itself: structure, kitchen, bathroom, heating and cooling, wiring, and plumbing, and warranties that home. ADU Concepts does everything on your property: lot review, site plan and engineering, the ADU permit, foundation, utilities, the crane set and unfold, connections, roof, exterior finish, outdoor additions, and inspections.
Can a Boxabl go on a hillside or in a fire hazard zone?
Sometimes, and we will tell you honestly. Steep lots need a foundation designed for the slope and a reachable spot for the crane. Lots in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone carry extra exterior construction rules. We check both in the first review; if a steel-framed ADU built on site is the better fit for your lot, we will say so.
Can I add a pitched roof, siding, or a porch to a Boxabl Casita?
Yes. A site-built gable roof with Class A shingles, board and batten or lap siding, paint, a covered patio, an entry deck, and a breezeway between two Casitas are all options we design and build. We include them in the same written proposal as the site work.
How do I pay for a Boxabl ADU?
Boxabl offers financing through its own partners, and the usual ADU paths also apply: a HELOC, a cash-out refinance, or a construction or renovation loan. Our ADU financing page walks through each option.
