Consultancy

Get clear, practical answers to your tiny‑house questions — from people who’ve built, lived in, and designed them.


 

Building a tiny house comes with a lot of unknowns. Materials, building methods, heating, power, water, waste, ventilation, weight limits, trailer movement — every decision affects the next. Our consultancy sessions give you straightforward, experience‑backed guidance so you can make confident decisions and avoid costly mistakes.

What we help with

You can bring a single question or a whole list — we tailor each session to what you need.

  • Big‑picture planning — is a tiny house right for you, and how will it work on your site?

  • Building methods, materials, and practical approaches.

  • Passive house principles and how to apply them to tiny homes.

  • Trailer weight, balance, and safe movement.

  • Water & space heating options that actually suit small spaces.

  • Power systems — solar, lighting, high/low voltage setups.

  • Water supply — storage, pumps, filtration, and connection options.

  • Wastewater — blackwater and greywater solutions.

  • Ventilation, air extraction, and MVHR (mechanical ventilation with heat recovery).

  • Insulation choices and thermal performance.

  • Passive heating, cooling, and orientation.

  • Product recommendations and where to source them.

  • Early pen‑and‑paper design ideas when needed.
