A tiny house is a compact, fully functional dwelling that is smaller than a standard home. These structures are designed to maximize available space while reducing environmental impact. Tiny homes provide a minimalist living approach that maintains both comfort and aesthetic appeal. A tiny house can be constructed as an ADU or as a standalone structure on a vacant lot. An ADU is an Accessory Dwelling Unit, which means it serves as an accessory structure to the main property. City and county regulations for ADUs vary by jurisdiction.

Yes. We provide fully custom design services. Our team will collaborate with you to realize your vision, whether you arrive with a detailed layout concept or require assistance throughout the design process.

Construction of a tiny house generally takes 4-5 months on average, though this timeframe varies based on design complexity and custom feature requirements. We deliver a more accurate timeline once we discuss your specific project requirements and preferences. Design development and permit acquisition will require additional time.

You can contact the Planning and Development office in your jurisdiction. Provide them with your property address, and they will inform you about permitted accessory structure types, size limitations, and setback requirements for your property. Alternatively, you can contact us directly. Send us your property address along with your construction plans, and a team member will review the city or county Unified Development Ordinance applicable to your location.

This may be possible. Both the City of Raleigh and the City of Durham have recently begun permitting multiple units in higher density zones. Contact us to evaluate your property and determine what options are available.

No. Our construction specializes in stationary stick-built structures. If you require a tiny house on wheels, several companies in Western North Carolina provide that service.

You should always verify with your HOA first to determine if ADUs are permitted and what specific regulations apply. HOA rules take precedence over local zoning ordinances.

For a stationary tiny home, you will need a cleared building site with access to essential utilities including water, electricity, and sewage. We can provide assistance with site preparation and offer guidance regarding zoning regulations and permit requirements.

A tiny house requires standard home maintenance procedures. This encompasses routine cleaning, leak inspections, appliance upkeep, and exterior weatherproofing. Due to their reduced size, tiny homes typically demand less time and effort for maintenance compared to conventional homes.

Zoning regulations and size limitations differ by jurisdiction. We recommend verifying compliance with your local government requirements before beginning construction to ensure your tiny home meets all applicable regulations in your area. Our team can provide guidance throughout this process.
