The company’s product line¬—BOSS Cubez—includes housing for singles, couples, and families, ensuite units with bathrooms, duplexes, and showers. BOSS has over 48 approved Cubez on the list. The Cubez are comfortable, attractive, easy to install, and offer the best price available, often with substantial savings over other vendors.
Viken Ohanesian, President and CEO of BOSS states, “We are very pleased that BOSS has been approved by the California DGS. “BOSS Cubez are the least expensive yet most durable structures being offered at a substantial price savings over other vendors. Built with steel, these homes and buildings are warranted with a 3-year and are non-combustible units for fire safety.
In addition to being California DGS approved, the Cubez meet all the California Building Code 2022 Appendix P Requirements.
