Consulting and Design services
One of my passions is thoughtful and effective design. I offer design consultations for any size of home or health considerations, even if you already have a plan i can help streamline your process. I also offer my expertise on zoning and bylaws in BC, Canada.
We can schedule a meeting either on the Phone, Zoom or Skype, meet for a coffee or a site visit.

3D design renders of your dream Tiny House. Design is based on what you've put together during Stage 1 (above) as well as a one-hour online chat. We create a 3D walkthrough (on the left) as well as 2D renders to give you a clear idea of what your home will look like. This stage will save you $$$ in the future.

STAGE 3.
$2000+ - Full construction plan-set, 24+ pages of plans. Detailing framing plans, flashing, window/door schedules, electrical, mechanical, plumbing and cabinetry. With this kind of plan-set, you can have various components accurately and competitively quoted. We detail our plans for the owner builder to easily understand. Note that price will always depend upon size of building, complexity of the design, physical material testing (for sensitivities) and certifications requirements. Have a look at some examples of our plan pages here.
STAGE 4.
LET'S BUILD YOUR DREAM HOME!
Your build can begin following completion of the first three stages. Only after the first three stages have been completed can we can give an accurate quote. If the quoted price works for you, $20 000 deposit to secure your spot in our production schedule must be received before we take our first step, which is ordering your trailer, appliances, windows and scheduling in the rest of your build into our construction schedule. A trailer and windows order typically requires 6-8 weeks delivery time. Once your trailer and windows have been received, we can start building! Builds usually take between two and three months, depending on our schedule.
