TUI TINY HOMES
The only constant in life is "change" and that is what inspires most people to embark on their own tiny home journey. When we are young, it makes sense to start small and affordable, but when the kids have left home or we are once again single, to down-size and live mortgage free is really appealing. Flatting with fellow students in a tiny, is also very popular.
Every tiny home journey is personal and unique - downsizing does not mean compromising on luxury and comfort.

FAQ's
Decking and stairs
Decking around your tiny home is normally custom built to fit the site your home will reside on. To be "easily removable" as required to negate the need for a Building Consent, the decking must be able to be pulled away or dismantled quickly to enable your tiny home to be pulled off the site.

"Great work, great people, great results. The Tui team were accommodating and communicative throughout the entire build process. Everything was well communicated and they were more than happy to work with us to modify one of their existing floor plans to create something perfect for us. There are tons of customization options to personalize your build to fit your preferences and the Tui team are keen to hear new ideas and make changes if that’s what you want. They were transparent and honest about everything, and despite all the hold ups with materials and other chaos caused by the pandemic, they have managed to produce awesome results in a quick timeframe. I also found them to be thoughtful and proactive. They suggested a few additions/changes which I think will drastically improve the practical aspects of the home. As far as tiny homes go, I think Tui Tiny Homes definitely one of the most reasonably priced and I think probably the best value for money. The slide out makes it great for people with pets, or people with mobility issues who couldn’t utilize the generic “mezzanine bedroom” style most tiny homes have. The delivered build far exceeded our expectations and we are stoked with the results. They recommended a mover to deliver halfway across the country to us (who was also great to deal with). If you’re thinking about a tiny home – go with a Tui Tiny Home! Worth every penny, and you know your hard earned money is going to hard working, honest people; doing bloody fantastic work."

"When a change in circumstances found us looking for accommodation for a family member, I started looking at Tiny Home options. As the home was for an older family member, we were put off by the loft designs as this would not be practical in the long run. Tui Tiny Homes stood out with their slide out, single story design. Tui Tiny Homes customised their floor plan for us and we got the perfect home for our family member. The home has plenty of room and doesn’t feel tiny at all, very happy with design, fixtures and options given to us for choosing colours etc. We have found the Tui team very knowledgeable in all aspects of tiny home construction and fit-out. Communication was great and I was able to drop in on several occasions to check progress during the build. The deposit was held in a joint account and used only on our build. At no time were we ever concerned about the security of our money. Towing to and onto our site with difficult roads (after Auckland floods) and steep narrow driveway didn’t phase Jay the Towie at all, the tiny house was placed in perfect position. We have found dealing with Tui Tiny Homes a positive experience. They did what they said they would, when they said they would and we would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them to family and friends."
