Question 4

How much can I customise?

Answer

You can start with our models or work with us to design your own. While all of our designs can be customised and adjusted to suit your needs, keep in mind that even a small change can have lots of implications. Just call or email us to discuss and share your design ideas with us.

Question 5

Can I customise the building materials?

Answer

At Luxe Tiny Homes we've chosen to use only the best quality materials. As an example, while many other builders use standard wrap, we use Bradford Enviroseal Wrap that allows for the controlled escape of vapour from within the building whilst restricting the ingress of liquid moisture. It helps to protect the building fabric and insulation from condensation and related problems such as mould, timber rot, corrosion and loss of thermal resistance. You're welcome to supply your own fittings such as tapware, faucets, sinks and light fittings and we are incorporate those kinds of items into your build. Some changes are possible but may also cost more. It's best to discuss what you are thinking, so feel free to get in touch with us.

Question 6

What is the maximum size house I can have?

Answer

Our Tiny Homes are built on road trailers and are limited to the maximum allowed legal size. This means a maximum overall height of 4.3m, 2.5m wide and 12.5m in length (including drawbar). Our trailers are rated to 4.5 tonne gross weight. Need a bigger tiny home? No problem, we do that too. Talk to us about options such as building your home on a skid (no wheels), and modular extensions..

Question 7

Do you offer solar solutions?

Answer

Yes. We offer optional off-the-grid solar solutions. Check out our Build your Home page or contact us to discuss your specific requirements.

Question 8

How long does it take to build? Is there a waiting list?

Answer

Build times vary and are dependent on the model and finishing stage you select. We try and build ahead so there are few models available for instant driveaway. Typical build times range between 6-10 weeks. Please call us to discuss if we currently have a waiting list.

Question 9

Can I order a partially built / lockup stage Tiny House?

Question 11

Where can I put my Tiny Home? Is council approval required?

Answer

Our mobile tiny houses can be towed and generally do not require DA approval from councils, however, some councils can limit the amount of time someone can stay in one. Each council is different, so we recommend contacting your local council for further information so as to compile with current regulations.

Question 15

How long does the sewage and grey water tank last?

Answer

Our onboard optional sewage and grey water tank holds 600L+ of each. That's approx. 40 days of toilet use for a single person, but of course this will vary depending on the number of uses. The kitchen sink and toilet run into the black water tank, while the shower, vanity and washing machine run into the grey water tank which can be used in your garden or emptied as needed.
