Good questions, straight answers.
What is included in the $99,000 price?
The $99,000 is for the structure. Every unit also includes architectural design, structural engineering, and permitting, covered by us. Site work, utility upgrades, and optional finishes (equipment, furniture, the kitchen island, and a solar panel upgrade) are quoted separately and vary by project, since every lot is different.
Where is the Casita available?
California and Arizona.
How big is it, and what is the layout?
484 square feet, single story, with one bedroom, one bathroom, and an open living and kitchen area.
What is Hybrid Prefab?
Instead of building everything on site, we fabricate certain components ahead of time in a controlled factory or warehouse, then ship them to your lot and assemble them there. That hybrid approach, part factory and part field, cuts build time while keeping quality high.
Can I customize it?
Yes. You can customize anything that does not affect the structure, like upgrading the kitchen, the bathrooms, or the flooring. The layout and structure stay fixed, which keeps quality high and the structure price at $99,000. Talk to your salesperson about the upgrades you want.
How long does it take?
These units are faster than a traditional build because every component is accounted for ahead of time. What is shipped to the site lets the team erect faster with less downtime, saving up to 50% of normal build time on some units. Every project is different, so speak to your Buildshure representative for an exact timeframe.
Can I get a larger unit?
Yes. Larger units are available on a project-by-project basis. Because each one is a custom build, we only take a limited number of slots, so speak to your Buildshure representative.
