About this 

This was a fun custom project for Chris & Shelly (The Happy Vagabonds). They brought us this retired school bus for us to convert into a lovely portable tiny home. It turned out great!

Frequently asked questions

Here are the questions we get the most often. Of course, if you have more questions please contact us.

  • How much does a tiny home cost?

    Most of our wheeled tiny homes range from $50,000 to $100,000. As in conventional home builds prices fluctuate significantly based on size, appliances, cabinetry, countertops, windows, insulation, materials, and finishes.

  • Why are tiny homes so expensive?

    A tiny home has many of the same components as a conventional home including a kitchen, appliances, laundry center, and full bathroom. All cabinetry is built custom in order to maximize space as ideally as possible. Our tiny homes are mostly built on trailers which cost roughly $12-16,000 before even starting the building process.

  • What is the timeframe expected when building a tiny home?

    We plan on 3-4 months of time for a full-sized tiny home build. This time starts after we are in the shop with the trailer on site. Lead time for starting a build is variable.

  • Can I have a NOAH certification with my custom home?

    NOAH certification is an option, but this process will add to the total cost of a building due to the time added for the phases of inspection.

  • What utilities does a tiny home require?

    In order to build your tiny home to accommodate your needs, we need to know what utilities you have available and what your goal is for energy usage. Do you have electric, and if so, how big is the electrical service? What is the water availability? Do you want gas or propane appliances? Is there a septic option or do you want to consider a composting or incinerating toilet?
