Building a smaller house costs less. Of course there’s less cost for supplies and labor, but remember that you may not need a full-sized lot. You’ll save money from day one by buying less land! Some of our customers choose to purchase a smaller but more specialized lot, like on a river or lake, in the PERFECT school district, or within walking distance to their town’s hot spots. The cost of your small yet specialized lot will be similar to what your friends pay for their average lots, but without the perks you’ll enjoy. Plus, you’ll enjoy the savings for years on things like utilities and maintenance!
Go Tiny & Go Green!
As if saving money isn’t enough, building a small home is a great way to help save our planet, too! Smaller homes, like the tiny house plans with 2 bedrooms we’re featuring today, require less material. Not only that, but they take up less space and use a fraction of the resources that standard homes require. You’ll continue to preserve the environment for future generations!

Take Back YOUR Time
Nothing is more valuable than time. Take control of that ticking clock to make time for yourself and the things you love again! Everything about the tiny home lifestyle conserves those all-important hours and minutes of each day.
A smaller home means less maintenance, so you’ll enjoy spending less time fixing stuff. And we’re not just talking about a missing shingle or loose handrail here – we mean your cleaning routine as well. Can you imagine a world where you can sweep, vacuum, and mop the floor in 1/4 of the time? That sounds great to us, so quit wasting your precious day off! You can have your house sparkling in short order and leave plenty of time for the things that truly matter when you have less to clean.
