Looking to buy a tiny home? It’s an exciting process but can be overwhelming to navigate alone – from builder selection and contract negotiation, to compliance, approvals, site prep and logistics. We simplify it and provide expert guidance so you can move forward with confidence.
Finding the right builder is essential to ensure your tiny home is safe, compliant, and built to last. The right builder should offer –Â
Compliance – Meeting building codes and transport standards
Design efficiency – Smart layouts that maximise space
Quality materials – Lightweight yet durable construction
Alignment – Delivers within your budget and desired timeframe
Different councils have different rules about placement, approvals, certifications, and services like water and power. To securely place your tiny home somewhere you will need to understand and comply with local rules and regulations.Â
Pricing can vary widely depending on materials, inclusions, and customisations. Contracts can be complex, and hidden costs may appear if you’re not careful.
Where you place your tiny home matters. Access, terrain, and utilities all need to be considered before delivery and setup.
From builders to councils, electricians to transport companies, there are many moving parts — and mistakes or miscommunication can cause delays or extra costs.
