How pricing works — 3 simple steps
- Choose your size — The Cabin, Apple Cabin, 20ft, 30ft or 40ft.
- Customise — bedrooms, finishes, terrace, cladding or off-grid solar.
- Delivery — a 40% deposit secures your build; the balance is due on delivery, and we coordinate transport and site handover.
Do you need building consent?
It depends on your site, foundations and intended use. Under the 2026 rules, a standalone dwelling of 70 m² or less may not need a building consent if the conditions are met — but the Building Code still applies, and you must notify your council and obtain a PIM, working with a Licensed Building Practitioner where required. Note the 40ft is approximately 72 m², which is over the 70 m² threshold, so a building consent is generally required. We can point you to professionals who can help with consent and compliance.
Tiny homes vs a traditional build
A traditional build can mean long timelines and uncertain costs. A factory-built portable home keeps the budget itemised and the schedule tighter, and the compact footprint helps keep ongoing running costs down over the life of the home.
