How long does it take to build?

Each design varies but on average build time is approximately 10-12 weeks from when we receive your deposit. This obviously varies depending on the exact materials and the workload we currently have on so best thing to do would be to reach out and we can give you an accurate estimate of a timeline.

How much of a deposit is required?

We only require a 20% deposit to guarantee your building slot and a delivery timeframe that suits you. Once the deposit is paid, we will finalise the design, order your trailer and begin ordering any unique materials that we require for your new home.

Why are tiny homes on trailers?

There are two main reasons why tiny houses are on mobile trailers. Number one, when built on wheels it does not require a building permit as it is classified and registerable as a caravan. Number two, it gives you the flexibility to pack up and relocate, this is even more do-able if you are set up with an off-grid package.

What is the biggest size I can get?

All of our base designs are kept within the parameters required for road legality: The maximum height is 4.3m; The maximum width is 2.5m; The maximum length is 9m (10.5m including the draw bar of the trailer); The maximum weight is 4.5 tonne.

How do we connect electricity?

Our standard tiny homes run on a 15amp mains power with a safety switchboard. They all come completely ready for you to plug in without the need of an electrician on site. Solar can be included in your build, added later or completely removed depending on your personal goals.

How do we connect water?

It’s as simple as connecting your garden hose! All of our homes come with a garden hose connection as standard. Alternatively, we can include pumps, gutters and rainwater tanks for you to go completely off-grid for a few extra bucks. Check out our off-grid packages on our sustainability page for more information.

How do we connect gas?

Just like a BBQ! Our homes come with a dual gas regulator as standard that allows you to connect 2 x Gas Bottles after delivery.

Do you offer off-grid solutions?

Of course we do, this is our biggest goal and where we separate ourselves from the pack. All of our homes come with composting toilets as standard, we can also assist with rainwater tanks, pumps and solar packages to get you completely off-grid. Check out our all inclusive off-grid packages on our sustainability page for more information.

Do composting toilets smell?

Modern composting toilets are complex and effective systems. As such, they come completely smell free. All models will come with a silent electric exhaust fan that runs around the clock to keep the smells out and to speed up the composting process. Models range in price from $1000 - $8000+ depending on the size, model and a few other factors.

How often does the composting toilet need to be emptied?

The composting toilet that we use as standard (Nature’s Head Composting Toilet) needs to be cleaned every 4 - 6 weeks for 2 adults living full-time in the space. However, this may vary depending on use. We also offer other composting toilets and maintenance will vary with each design and system. Get in touch with us and we can go over the specifics of each option with you.

Where does our waste and greywater go?

The most common for tiny homes on wheels is a combination of a composting toilet and greywater treatment system. The composting toilet diverts liquid waste and turns solid waste into compost. The models we use are Australian made and approved for use in all states, operate odour-free, and can save 35,000L of water per year. Greywater can be treated by a grey water filtration system and grease traps. Generally speaking, the clean water can be re-utilised in your garden or direct release into the landscape. It is important to check with your local council for any specific requirements for off-grid treatment of waste.

Do your homes come with solar as standard?

Not as standard but we can supply all inclusive off-grid packages to suit your needs as an added extra. Please contact us for more information or visit the sustainability page for details on our off-grid packages.

Do you offer delivery?
