Frequently Asked Questions

We are offering Tiny Homes, which technically is an RV with CSA Z240RV Certification (Also certified to NFPA 1192 through RVIA). Park Model Trailers (CSA Z241), Manufactured Homes (CSA Z240MH) and Modular Homes (CSA A277) are be available for order.

With over 20 years of building experience, we've taken all the building science of full-size homes and applied it to a smaller footprint.  High-performance homes are built to standards above BC Building Code. The BC Energy Step Code is a provincial regulation that consists of a series of steps representing increasing levels of energy efficiency performance in homes.  

Lower Monthly Expenses: Lower energy consumption reduces your operating costs and protects you from future increases in energy prices. Lower water and resource usage also save money! 

Better Investment: An energy-efficient home that has been better built will also last longer, increasing your resale value. 

Environmental Impact: Fewer resources are required to operate a small HP home, energy-efficient homes use less energy, which means fewer greenhouse gases and negative impacts on the environment and climate change. 

Healthier Living: The use of heat or energy recovery ventilators is a typical feature of high-performance homes to manage fresh air in your home. A very important feature for anyone dealing with allergies and respiratory issues. We use the LUNOS e2™ HRV system. It is a demand-flow, through-wall variable ventilation system, coupled with a ceramic regenerative heat exchanger. Operating and wired in pairs, these devices provide continuous ventilation without the need for ductwork and are installed directly through an exterior wall. 

Comfort: A building envelope that is more airtight and better insulated helps you stay warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer while keeping your household's overall costs down! 

Yes! Our Tiny Homes and Park Models are financeable just like a regular RV through our partners! Ask us for more information!

Absolutely! We understand that everyone has different needs, and with 20 years of experience building custom homes, we are set-up to serve your needs. Set-up a complementary consultation to start your journey to custom home ownership!

The building envelope is the same as conventional houses: 2x4 wall systems with premium spray foam insulation to keep you cool in the summer and warm and toasty in the winter. Utilizing heat pump technology for heating and cooling, your monthly operating costs will be a fraction of the cost of a RV. When you choose home appliances, they are less expensive and last longer.

You can look up your local bylaws or ask at your local city hall. Some cities allow laneway housing or multiple dwellings on single titles. Rural properties sometimes rent space and campgrounds are also an option.  

 Great question! Benefits of certification:

• CSAZ240RV certification is a book of rules and standards that a unit must be designed and built to. 
• Architectural Drawings are engineered to CSA standards (your roof will not cave in when it snows)
• Inspected electrical, HVAC, and plumbing system
• All systems designed and installed to CSA standards
• Accountability! No cutting corners allowed.
• Peace of mind knowing the home has been built properly to code and standards. 
• Certification is required to park in certain areas and for insurance and financing.

Benefits of no certification:

• It will be cheaper
• You can build it however you want with no safety standards to follow
• DIY is fun!

The price tag varies from $99,000 for our smallest Tiny Home to $200,000+ for the multi-unit Modular Homes. 

Ask us what we have in stock! Factory orders are between 3-6 months. If you would like something right away, check out one of our partnered dealerships! 

Yes we do! And we set-up and we can even skirt your unit with our own skirting system with hidden vent system. We provide turn-key service for all of our products! (even permitting and foundations for MH units!) 

 The services you need will vary based on the site location as well as your home certification and model specifications.

Our Tiny Homes require a power supply, water, and sewer/septic. For water, a garden hose will do. Sewer/Septic will depend on the site, whether it’s hooked up to municipal sewer or septic. You will also need a graded and level spot to park the home—preferably a concrete pad, but packed gravel will work just as well.  

For Park Models, MH's and Modular, we will provide site specific advice.

 Absolutely! Contact us to book a tour! Unfortunately due to safety concerns, drop-ins are not allowed. 

 Yes! You can get full insurance coverage for your tiny home through any large insurance provider such as Hub or Aviva.  

 Yes, we offer a one year full manufacturers warranty on all of our homes. Appliances and components are covered by individual manufacturer warranties. 

The LUNOS e2™ HRV  is a demand-flow, through wall variable ventilation system, coupled with a ceramic regenerative heat exchanger. A new solution for changing the air in your home while maintaining excellent energy efficiency in heating.

Lunos Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV) Systems provide fresh, clean air to your home while maintaining temperature balance- without temperature loss! (up to 90% efficiency†) Lunos HRVs are an essential component of any air-sealed high-performance home, bringing fresh air while removing unwanted pollutants and humidity. The system is capable of exchanging heat and humidity. Thus, in the manner of an ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilator), it helps to maintain the relative humidity of the air inside the house.

There are many websites and Facebook groups dedicated to helping find a "landing pad". There are also many advocacy groups for small home living that are doing incredible work! We are doing our part in the fight for change in zoning and education and awareness. We believe small home, community minded living is the future, and we're passionately using all of our connections locally and nationally to make housing attainable for all Canadians.
