How to check the place before drop the object

Hi I need to drop cubes on the plane in random order. But first I need to check is there any object on the land in the point where cube could fall. If yes cube will fall somethere else if no cube can fall on this point. I think colliders and triggers are not acceptable for this task. Ray could give a way of solution, but I think I should use bounds and intersection check. I mean perform a check by creating a bounding box or something like that then check its intersection in boolean way. True will mean - the place is occupied so cube cant fall. False - will mean placr the place is free so cube can fall there. How can I do that? How to build a kind of box sensor simmilar to sphere cast or capsule cast using origin center and dimensions. Can somebody help me
