Your dream has come true. You have saved up the money and are ready to hire a builder for your tiny home. You want to have the fastest tiny house build available.

How long does it take to build a tiny house?

According to Godownsize.com professionals can build a tiny house in around 120 hours. That would be for a traditional stick house. Building from scratch always takes longer than building with prefabricated panels

Many tiny house builders are designing prefabricated houses that use factory-made panels. These panels or SIPs (structural insulated panel) can be made quickly in the factory.

You can read more about the benefits of prefabricated houses in our article Build Your Tiny House With Prefabricated SIP’s.

Custom Versus Model

One thing you will want to consider is whether you want a custom floor plan or a model floor plan. There are pros and cons to each one.

A custom floor plan reflects your unique needs because you decide on the design and important features. However, the custom design does take longer because your specifications affect the construction process. So expect up to a six-month build on a custom job.

Model home plans are a much faster build time. For designs that use prefabricated panels, the actual construction process is very quick. The panels are made in bulk in a factory with specific cutouts for the windows and the doors.

When you watch the video of Big Tiny you will see how quickly they can put the panels into place.

There is also a hybrid version. You can pick a design that uses prefabricated walls and cutouts to make the exterior of your tiny home. Then there is more give intake to what you want to do with the interior.

This is your home so take the time to ask questions such as:

Was my trailer designed to hold my tiny house?
What energy-saving features will my tiny home have?
Does my tiny house use environmentally sustainable materials?
Will my plumbing and electric be to code?
How long will it take for you to build my design?
Do I need zoning or transportation permits?
