Our Process

Building a tiny home should feel exciting—not overwhelming.

Our process keeps you informed while allowing room for the personal touches that make your home truly yours.
⠀

We begin by learning what you want from your home.

We’ll discuss:

• How you plan to use the home
• The number of bedrooms and bathrooms
• Whether you already own land
• Your anticipated budget and timeline
• Your preferred features and finishes
• Your preferred layout and style

You can choose from our available home designs or work with us to personalize a layout around your needs.
⠀

Your property affects nearly every part of the project.

Before finalizing your home, we review available information about:

• Delivery and equipment access
• Floodplain or environmental restrictions
• Foundation requirements
• Primary-home or ADU classification
• Setbacks and placement
• Utility connections
• Water, sewer, well, and septic
• Zoning and permitted use

Requirements vary by location.

Review Living in North Carolina or Living in South Carolina for additional information before purchasing property.
⠀

Once we understand your goals and property requirements, we help you select the right home design.

Our collection includes 20-foot and 40-foot aluminum modular homes, custom shipping-container homes, and our Family Foundations floor plans.

Depending on the selected home, customization may include:

• Doors and windows
• Exterior colors and materials
• Flooring and finishes
• Interior layouts
• Kitchens and bathrooms
• Porches and outdoor living areas
• Smart-home features
• Solar, battery, and energy-conscious options
• Storage solutions

The goal is to create a home that fits your lifestyle while remaining practical for the property and local requirements.
⠀

After the design and major selections are established, we prepare the project scope and pricing.

You will receive clear information about available upgrades, installation, property-related work, transportation, what is included, and anything that must be handled separately.

Construction will not begin until the design, scope, pricing, and payment schedule are approved.
⠀

Depending on the home and location, the project may require architectural plans, building permits, engineering documents, septic approval, utility approval, zoning approval, or other local reviews.

We help identify and coordinate the requirements connected to your project.

Final approval is issued by the governing agencies responsible for your property.
⠀

When appropriate, home construction and property preparation may move forward at the same time.

This may include:

• Driveway and delivery access
• Foundation preparation
• Grading and drainage
• Home construction
• Progress updates
• Required quality checks
• Septic or sewer preparation
• Utility installation

The construction method and location will depend on the home’s design, legal classification, permitting requirements, and property.
⠀

For homes built away from their final location, delivery and installation are coordinated after the property is properly prepared.

All required connections, inspections, and final approvals must be completed before the home can be occupied.

We then complete a final walkthrough so you understand your home, its features, and its systems.
⠀
