Behind The Scenes
The
Workshop.
We don't hide our process behind glossy marketing. What you see is authentic sawdust, unfinished timber, and the raw dedication it takes to build a home from scratch.
Our Philosophy
Built to outlast the trend.
Most tiny homes on the market are weekend projects dressed up with professional photography. We hold ourselves to a different standard — every seam, every joint, every system is engineered to perform for 30 years or more.
Our builds are RVIA-compliant, built to HUD standards, and insured for nationwide transport. We document everything from the first stud to the final punch-list walk-through, so you know exactly what you're moving into.
RVIA Compliant
All builds meet Recreational Vehicle Industry Association standards for safety and construction.
FSC Certified
Every stick of structural lumber carries Forest Stewardship Council certification.
Precision Built
Tolerances measured in 32nds of an inch. Floor plans are engineered, not estimated.
Documented Build
Photo & video log of every stage. You see everything before delivery day.
The Build Process
Seven phases. Zero shortcuts.
From the first consultation call to the day we park your home on your land — here's exactly how we work.
Consultation & Design
Every build starts with an honest conversation. We discuss your lifestyle, land, budget, and vision. Our team produces hand-drawn schematics and digital floor plans before a single board is cut.
- In-person or virtual discovery session
- Site assessment & zoning review
- Custom floor plan drafting
- Material & finish selection
- Detailed written quote
Material Procurement
We source locally-milled, FSC-certified timber and inspect every shipment before it enters the workshop. No big-box substitutes. No mystery composites.
- FSC-certified structural lumber
- Locally sourced where possible
- HVHZ-rated sheathing & roofing
- Low-VOC adhesives & finishes
- Curated fixture & hardware packages
Trailer & Frame
We weld custom dual-axle steel trailers in-house, ensuring the foundation of your home is as strong as the walls above it. Structural framing follows immediately.
- Custom-welded steel trailer chassis
- Pressure-treated sill plate
- Engineered wall, floor & roof framing
- Hurricane tie-downs throughout
- Pre-inspection by structural review
Envelope & Insulation
Closed-cell spray foam creates an airtight thermal barrier. We don't cut corners on this step — it defines how comfortable your home will be for decades.
- Closed-cell spray foam (R-30 walls, R-49 roof)
- Rockwool fire & sound barrier
- House wrap & moisture management
- Thermal bridge elimination
- Air-sealing at all penetrations
Systems & MEP
Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC are roughed in by licensed subcontractors we've vetted and worked with for years. Every system is built to full residential code.
- 200A or 50A shore power ready
- Optional solar & battery integration
- Full PEX plumbing with shutoffs
- Mini-split HVAC + HRV ventilation
- Smart wiring & USB-C outlets
Interior Finish
This is where weeks of raw structure transform into a liveable home. Tongue-and-groove ceilings, hand-selected tile, custom cabinetry — crafted to last a generation.
- T&G pine or cedar ceiling & accent walls
- Custom-built cabinetry & shelving
- Handset tile in wet areas
- Engineered hardwood or cork flooring
- Finish carpentry & trim details
QC & Delivery
Before your home leaves our shop, it goes through a 120-point inspection checklist. We test every system, every door, every window. Then we bring it to you.
- 120-point pre-delivery inspection
- Systems pressure & load testing
- Photo & video walkthrough documentation
- Nationwide transport coordination
- On-site setup & owner orientation
In The Shop
From raw lumber to finished home.
These aren't staged renders. Every image below is captured in our active workshop during real client builds.
Structural framing — wall panels built flat then tilted into position
Interior cladding — hand-selected pine boards, each graded on site
Exterior sheathing complete — ready for moisture barrier and cladding
Spray foam insulation — every cavity filled and tested for air leaks
Custom steel chassis being welded in our fabrication bay
Kitchen cabinetry installation — solid wood face frames, hand-finished

Common Questions
What people ask us most.
How long does a full build take?
Our typical build runs 14–22 weeks from signed contract to delivery. Custom sizes, specialty systems (solar, composting), or heavy finish packages can extend this. We'll give you an honest timeline estimate in writing before you commit.
Can I visit the workshop during my build?
Yes — and we encourage it. We schedule two formal walk-throughs (frame stage and pre-close-in) plus offer virtual video calls at any phase. You'll see your home as it's being built, not just when it's finished.
Do you handle permits and zoning?
We provide all the documentation you'll need: stamped engineering drawings, RVIA certification, energy compliance reports, and a full build packet. Permit filing is the owner's responsibility, but we walk you through it and answer jurisdiction questions.
What warranties do you offer?
Structural components carry a 5-year warranty. Systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) are warrantied by the respective manufacturers, and we facilitate any warranty claims during the first year. Appliances carry manufacturer warranties.
Can I finance a build?
We work with several tiny home lenders who offer personal and RV loans. We'll connect you with our preferred partners early in the process so financing is sorted before we break ground.
