Build Process
At Elite we understand that building your dream tiny home is a big decision. That’s why we’re committed to making the process as smooth and informative as possible. We care greatly about our clients and want you to feel confident and excited every step of the way.
Step1: Explore and Connect
We welcome you to visit our workshop at 1256 State Highway 16, Waimauku, Auckland and see our tiny homes first-hand! This is a great opportunity to get a feel for the quality and craftsmanship that goes into each build. You can also connect with us virtually on WhatsApp or by telephone to discuss your vision and we’ll answer any questions you may have about building with us.
During this initial stage, we’ll share information on:
Build Time: We’ll provide a realistic timeline based on your chosen design and our current project volume. The build time falls within a range of 6-8 weeks.
Customisation Options: Customisations may require additional costs due to the need for adjustments to the base design or price difference in products. We’ll discuss these potential costs openly and transparently. We enjoy customising our designs, if you have existing drawings or a vision board, feel free to share them with us.
We understand that preferences may evolve during the building process. While significant changes after material pre-ordering might be challenging, we’re happy to discuss minor adjustments to ensure your tiny home reflects your vision.
Step 2: Securing Your Spot In The Queue
Once you’ve explored our designs and discussed any of the customisation options, we will provide you with a quote. Once agreed upon and you feel confident moving forward, you can reserve your ‘Build Spot’ with a non-refundable deposit of $10,000. At this stage the Build Spot Reservation contract is signed by both parties.
The $10,000 deposit secures your place in our production schedule and outlines the timeframe we agree to build your tiny home in, the deposit will then be credited toward the total purchase price.
Step 3: Tiny House Construction and Sale Agreement
The Tiny House Construction and Sale Agreement is ready for you to review. To initiate the build process we require a 50% deposit of the remaining balance (excluding the Build Spot funds). This deposit is due at least 8 weeks before your scheduled build start date & we will start to order your materials.
Step 4 The Construction Phase
As your tiny home embarks on its physical journey, we will extend a warm invitation to visit our workshop and witness its progress first-hand! Simply coordinate a viewing date at anytime with either Dan or Sally at least 48 hours in advance please.
We require the third and final instalment 50% of the remaining balance to be made at any point during the build duration but at least 2 weeks prior to transport. Once the final payment has been made we will change the ownership details in to your name and provide all documentation related to the tiny house including Plumbing, Gas and Electrical certificates.
We believe in building strong partnerships with our clients. By working together and understanding your dream, we can create a tiny house that perfectly reflects your wishes. Our commitment to our clients satisfaction is unwavering, from the initial contact to the final handover.
We look forward to partnering with you.
