What To Look For

In order to compare the designs, we came up with a list of parameters to help you pick the tiny house plan that’ s best for you. These parameters are key to understanding how different plans are setup and what they offer. Hovering your cursor over each icon will display in-depth information about each criterion.

We compared the cost of the plans. For plans with different pricing tiers we noted a range of the cost. Cost is only one factor in choosing a plan.
Providing a list like this makes shopping and cost estimating much easier. This list describes exactly which supplies you need to build the house.
Includes a schematic showing exactly how to frame the walls. Framing can be tricky for a first time builder. Some plans include details that will show dimensions on all the wall studs for building the frame.
A SketchUp model is an interactive 3D computer rendering of the house that can be viewed Sketchup software. These can be useful if you want to modify the layout and to see the design in a 3D space.
Whether it’ s for a bed or for storage, some tiny houses come with more than one loft, or no lofts at all. Multiloft tiny houses may be options for families or those who have extra storage needs.
These two types of drawings allow you to gain better insight of how a house is built at complex junction points. These drawings include diagrams and three-quarter views of key details.
