4 Reasons Why You Should Build Your Own Tiny House

August 7, 2018 By Greg Parham 1 Comment

The idea to build your own tiny house can seem quite daunting at first. In this day and age, however, building a tiny house is becoming easier and more affordable. With the option to purchase a DIY kit or tiny house plan, building your own has never been easier. Here are four reasons why you should consider a DIY tiny house project.

You Don’t Have to be a Professional

Don’t think you have the skills to build your own tiny house? Think again. With our detailed plan sets, all of the instruction needed for the entire house- from the exterior frame to the electrical and plumbing- are included. If you can put together Ikea furniture, you can put together a tiny house.

Save Money

Having a tiny house built requires not only the up-front cost of the tiny house itself, but also a builder’s fee. When you choose to build your own tiny house, you can skip the builder’s fee and put this money toward other modifications to your home.

Our DIY Plans start at $79, and are a great starting point for your project. The best part? You can purchase materials and supplies as you need them rather than all at once.

Customize Where it Matters

Remember that money you saved on the builder’s fee? Put that towards a nicer mattress, smart appliances or decor. When building your own tiny house, you can add your own personal touch, an option that is not available when buying a pre-built tiny house.

There’s no better feeling than finally moving into a tiny house that you built.

 

Take Pride in the Finished Product

When your tiny house project is completed, you’ll be able to look back and say that you built your home with your own two hands, a feat that not many can say they have done.

Compared to traditional homes, building a tiny house is much easier and cost-effective. Our DIY Plans are available for purchase at any time, and come in four different options: the Crestone, Boulder, Wasatch and Silverthorne Gooseneck. If at any time you feel overwhelmed or stuck, don’t hesitate to give us a call. Our builders are more than happy to help you during the building phase.
