General FAQs.
What is a tiny home?
A tiny home is a small, compact dwelling typically ranging from 20 - 120m squared, designed to maximise functionality and minimise space requirements.
Our Tiny Homes range from 15-45m squared.
Are tiny homes legal in New Zealand?
Yes, tiny homes are generally legal in New Zealand. However, regulations regarding their placement, zoning, and building requirements may vary between different regions and local authorities.
Do I need a building consent for a tiny home?
MBIE (Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment) have a Tiny House Guidance document to assist in determining if your tiny house is a vehicle or a building or both. The flowchart they developed is very helpful in determining if your home is a vehicle or building. If your tiny house is a vehicle and MOVABLE it is exempt from the Building Act 2004. Resource consent will depend on whether you are plumbing into Council grey water systems and again we recommend it is best to contact your local Council to get all the information you require with regards to this.
Can I put a tiny home on any property?
It depends on the zoning regulations and land-use policies of the specific property. Some areas may allow tiny homes on residential lots, while others may have restrictions or specific requirements. Check with your local council for guidance.
