Park Model: While still considered an RV, park models can be placed on private property in some cases. Particularly as a vacation home. Still, be sure to check with your local Planning & Zoning to see if they are allowed as a vacation home and/or residence. Park models are usually allowed in tiny house communities as well. Even RV parks!

THOWs: Here, here, and here are some great places to start. Since THOWs are considered RVs, permanent placement can be tricky. Since THOWs are for travel, you can usually place them in parks and tiny house communities. Permanent placement on private property as a residence is often not allowed.

If you’re interested in beginning the process of designing and building your home, we require a payment of $650 for our Planning & Design Consultation (P&D). However, this P&D fee will be applied as money received towards your build when we go to contract. Your P&D fees covers the cost of creating a custom design package for your specific home. This package includes a 2 hour initial consultation time with followups, a detailed estimate, parts & materials list with allocations, a custom floor plan and elevations. 3D photo realistic views are also available at additional cost. We also provide you an build schedule estimates in our queue.

Normally, we will have a Planning & Design Consultation before the build. This take about 4-5 weeks.

Modular & Park Model Tiny Homes: Our larger tiny houses can be setup on permanent or semi-permanent foundation according to local code. Standard procedure is to level the grade then foundation using concrete piers and footers about every 7-8 feet along each side of the house under the twin 10″ American Steel I-beams. Then the home is anchored with steel strapping and long auger screws that go down deep into the ground to stabilize against the wind loads. This is all part of a normal setup.
Additionally, the tongue and axles can be removed and stored under the house for later use, or hauled off. Then you can skirt the house all the way around with a variety of products to appear as a foundation wall. In some case, our Modular Tiny Homes must be set on a foundation wall or foundation wall/peir combination.

THOWs: For tiny houses on wheels you can level the home and, together with the included stabilization jacks, put cinder blocks under the steel box frame. There is a some variation on what a lawful foundation is depending on where you are. And, whether this could be considered a permanent foundation because, unlike the larger park model and modular tiny homes, the THOW is designed for travel like an RV. However, tiny homes on wheels are often considered like an RV by local government. Because of this, they might now allow permanent placement of a THOW as a primary residence.

Modular tiny homes and Park Models: These homes are normally outfitted with plumbing hookups just like a regular house. We can customize hookups for Park Models according to your needs.

Electricity: Our tiny homes can be built to provide amperage from 50amps to 200 amps. It just depends on your needs. For less hassle with voltage for tiny houses on wheels (50amp), we recommend hot water heaters and stoves run on propane. But we offer electric units as well. Our larger park model tiny houses use more power (150 amp) is standard, but can be more as needed.
