Buying a tiny house is an exciting decision — and choosing the right builder and model is the key to years of trouble-free living. Here are seven things to check first.
1. Know your land's status
Zoning directly affects whether you should choose a mobile or fixed model. Check with your municipality before deciding.
2. Define how you'll use it
Permanent home, weekend retreat or tourism — each needs a different plan, insulation and equipment.
3. Ask about the chassis and structure
The structure determines the life of the home. Ask about the material and thickness of the steel chassis and frame.
4. Compare insulation
Insulation material and thickness in walls, floor and roof drive winter comfort and energy bills.
5. Look at the windows
Double glazing and well-sealed frames prevent heat loss and condensation.
6. Read the quote line by line
Make sure transport, setup, furniture and extras are listed separately. Vague items mean surprise costs later.
7. Warranty and after-sales support
Get warranty scope and duration in writing, and make sure you can reach the builder after delivery.
With this list you'll be well prepared. Feel free to contact us with any questions.
