Service Flow

This visual is meant to answer one practical question:

Where does Oasis Engineering fit between BOXABL, the homeowner, the builder, the AHJ, and the final foundation package?

Read The Diagram Like This

BOXABL defines the product

BOXABL helps establish the unit, the current model, and the manufacturer document basis.

The site defines the foundation

As soon as the conversation shifts to soils, slope, drainage, utility entry, permit expectations, or interface details, the project becomes site-specific.

Oasis enters before expensive mistakes

The best time to bring in Oasis is usually when:

• the site is not obviously simple
• the owner is comparing foundation families
• the utility and elevation strategy is still fuzzy
• the AHJ or permit path is unclear
• a PE-reviewed package will clearly be required

Public guidance has a hard limit

This repository can educate, orient, and qualify.

It should not be mistaken for a permit-ready foundation package.

Simple Rule For Homeowners

If you are still asking:

• "What kind of foundation should I use?"
• "Will my site work?"
• "Will the city accept this?"
• "Do I need a geotech or PE?"
• "How do I coordinate utilities and elevation with the unit?"

that is usually the point where Oasis Engineering becomes part of the service.
