PLEASE NOTE: Due to low demand of our DIY kits, we have decided to no longer offer them to the public. If you are developer and are interested in ordering kits for multiple units, then please contact us. We have left the following info available as to what kits entail:
Are you are interested in building you own tiny house but are feeling a little overwhelmed in the process? Let us take a load off and put together a tiny house kit ready to pick up at our Durango facility, or even have it delivered to your build site anywhere in the lower 48! We are currently working on piecing together stock kits for some of our more popular builds, but we can put together a kit for just about any kind of tiny house you are envisioning! Prices will of course vary by project and market rates on materials, but basically here is what the kits will entail:
- The best foundation you can possibly get for a tiny house on wheels, a custom Trailer Made Trailer with lifetime warranty on the chassis
- Trailer will come spray foamed with 3/4″ Advantech subflooring pre-installed, or flat packed
- Your choice of framing system- traditional wood 2×4 advanced framing, TM Steel Framing System, Structural Insulated Panels, or Siberian Spruce Log kits from Unforgettable Tiny House
- All necessary wall sheathing and roof decking
- Proper amount of weather barrier for walls and Water/Ice barrier for the roof
- Detailed Construction Documents
- 4 hours of phone/email consultation
All kits will start out with these bare minimums. If you prefer, we can take it a step further and include the following materials
- Exterior siding
- Metal Roofing
- Doors
- Windows
- Loft Materials
- Interior Siding
- Flooring
- Cabinets
- Appliances
- Fasteners, glues, paints, finishes
- Additional consultation time as needed!
So the kits can basically range from anything to a trailer all the way up to just about everything you would need to complete the house by yourself. As a professional builder, we often times get trade pricing and discounts that the public cannot, which we will pass down to you to to help offset the cost of our time in putting these kits together for you. If you are an out-of-county or out-of-state customer, you will also be purchasing the kits with little or no sales tax! That 5-8% might pay for our fee in itself!

DIY’ers! Have you read through this whole thing even after I said we aren’t doing kits for DIY’ers? Do you still really really want a kit? Ok, here is the deal. It takes a LOT of my time to generate kit estimates, and most people decide not to buy them. Here is how we will price a kit out:
Cost of Materials (no mark ups) +
time it takes my crew to order/assemble materials billed at $25/hr+
5% of material costs for profit/overhead
So a shell with material costs of $15,000 that took 10 hours to assemble would end up costing a total of $16,000.
If you have a general idea of the material costs, you will then have a general idea of kit costs. As mentioned above, because of our status as a builder, we get better pricing on new materials than you would as a consumer, so often times our service pays for itself. We’re willing to help you out if you can help us out by not kicking the tires.
