FAQ’s
-
Are your designs customisable?
Our designs are partially customisable. We have a range of exterior colour options and internal options such as cabinetry finishes, fixtures, windows and doors. Overall, we have designed our tiny homes with the highest quality materials and design aesthetic.
Do you build custom designs?
Absolutely! We design in house so we can bring your tiny home vision to life. Please get in touch with us to discuss further.
What kind of extras do you offer?
We can offer additional cabinetry and storage, window furnishings, kitchen appliances, air conditioning, fireplace, off-grid solutions and more. Get in touch with us to discuss these options further.
What are the maximum tiny home dimensions?
We build our tiny homes to caravan standard so they can be towed on the road. The maximum measurements are 9 metres long x 2.5 metres wide x 4.3 metres high (from the ground) with a maximum weight of 4.5 tonne.
Do you use licensed trades?
Yes, all our trades people are qualified, licensed and insured in their respective fields.
Do I require Council Approval?
Our tiny homes are built on trailers so they do not require DA approvals from councils, but councils can limit the amount of time someone can permanently live in one. This ruling may vary from Council to Council and State to State. We strongly recommend contacting your local council for further information and current regulations.
-
How much do I pay upfront?
To secure your build and design we require a 20% deposit. Once your build commences, we then break the remainder of the tiny house cost into four additional equal-staged payments: trailer delivery; timber frame; lock up; and a final payment just before your tiny home delivery.
Do I sign a contract?
Once the design is finalised we will provide you with a contract for approval with contract price, inclusions, estimated construction start and completion dates & payment schedule. Proof of funds or finance is required.
Do you offer finance?
We can recommend Great Escape Finance who specialise in finance for tiny homes.
Will I receive updates of my tiny home build?
Yes, we will provide progress photos and videos of your build at each stage.
-
How long will it take to build my tiny home?
Our build time is 12-16 weeks from when your initial deposit is paid. Our lead times vary depending on our current workload. During busy periods we may have a waitlist so please contact us to get an accurate lead time.
Do you offer delivery?
At this stage we do not offer delivery, however we can recommend a number of experienced and insured delivery companies who can assist in getting your tiny home delivered safely.

How do I connect to water?
Our tiny homes come with a standard garden hose plug connection. Please note our tiny homes are not supplied with gutters due to dimension restrictions when on the road.
How do I connect to gas?
All our tiny homes have a dual gas regulator that takes 2xLPG gas bottles as standard. You can use your standard 9L barbecue gas bottles. The connection can be done by anyone, just like connecting the gas bottle to a barbecue.
How do I connect to electricity?
The tiny home plugs in with a regular 240V power socket, just like a traditional caravan. You won’t need an electrician on site for this connection, just an extension lead.
Can I connect to sewerage mains?
Our tiny homes come with a flush toilet as standard. It is your responsibility to obtain the services of a qualified plumber and council permits to connect to sewage or septic tank.
As an alternative and much greener/sustainable option, we can install and supply composting toilets that do not require a plumber on site or any connection.
Do you have off grid options?
Yes we offer off grid solar packages, compost toilets, gas heating systems and appliance, rainwater tanks, pumps, grey water systems and water filters. Get in touch with us to discuss these options further.
