FAQs
Everything You Need to Know About Our Tiny Homes
How much does a tiny home cost in New Zealand?
The cost of a tiny home depends on several factors, including the size, design, and features you choose.
Smaller units, like a 15m² sleepout, typically cost less than larger 30m² tiny home and 60m² minor dwellings. Customisation options, such as upgraded materials or additional features, can also impact the price.
It’s important to consider other costs like site preparation, utilities, and any off-grid solutions. For an accurate estimate, it’s best to discuss your needs with a professional team.
How long does it take to build and install a tiny home?
The timeline for building and installing a tiny home depends on the design and approval process.
Once you choose your plan, securing building consents and council approvals typically takes a 4-6 weeks. After that, construction of your prefabricated unit generally takes 6-8 weeks.
Once your tiny home is ready, we arrange fast and efficient delivery using local HIAB trucks or house-moving services. Installation is quick, often completed within just a few days.
While timelines can vary depending on your location and specific requirements, most projects are completed within a few months from start to finish.
What building consents and council approvals are required for a tiny home?
Building a tiny home requires compliance with local council regulations and obtaining building consents. This ensures your home meets safety, structural, and environmental standards.
You may need to provide details about your property, such as the title and site plans. The process includes submitting documentation, waiting for council review, and addressing any additional requirements.
Working with experienced builders can simplify this process and ensure all regulations are met.
Can I customise my tiny home design?
Yes, tiny homes can often be customised to fit your specific needs and preferences. You can choose layouts, materials, and finishes to suit your style and purpose.
Whether you need a rental unit, family space, or home office, the design can be adjusted accordingly. Customisation options may include adding extra storage, upgrading insulation, or incorporating off-grid features.
Discussing your goals with the builder is essential to create a space that works for you.
What documents do I need to get a tiny home approved?
To begin the approval process, you’ll need to provide a copy of your property title and any relevant site details.
These documents help confirm zoning and compliance requirements. Other documents, like building plans and engineering specifications, are prepared by our team. These are submitted to the local council for review and approval.
At Smarter Spaces, we handle all the technical details to make the process as simple as possible for you. If you’d like to discuss financing options, please contact us directly—we’re here to help you explore the solutions that work best for you.
