Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a tiny house cost?

There are several factors that go into determining the price of a tiny house. The biggest of those is if you plan to build it yourself or have it built for you. If you plan to build it yourself, it is reasonable to estimate that the cost will be between $25,000 and $45,000 for the materials.

Can I build my own tiny house?

Definitely! In fact most people living in tiny houses have built them themselves. Just search the web and you will find countless examples of mothers, students, nurses, office workers and so on having successfully built their own tiny house. These are people you might have never suspected of being able to complete such a task and yet they have, and more than likely, you can too!

How long does it take to build a tiny house?

We don’t change or customize any of our plans at this time, unless we are doing so as part of building your house. However, the digital version of our plans include the SketchUp model making it easy for you (or someone else) to customize them.

How much does it cost to deliver a tiny house?

Delivery cost varies based on the distance from our location. We generally quote as low as $1.30 a mile for a trailer, and between $3.00 to 4.00 a mile for a house.

Where can I build my tiny house?

If you already live in a house and are not part of a Home Owners Association (HOA), you can likely build your tiny house on your existing property. If you live in an apartment or condo, you will need to find another place to build your tiny house. When searching for a location, you will need to ensure that you will have access to water, power, a safe place to store your tools and supplies, and access to a restroom. To find a location that meets these criteria, you can check with friends or even post an ad online.
