Build It Yourself.
Don’t Build It Alone.

Building your own tiny home is one of the most rewarding ways to create a home that fits your life and your budget—but DIY should not mean starting without professional engineering or support.For more than 15 years, The Tiny House Experts and Trailer Made have helped homeowners, builders, schools, and developers create stronger tiny homes from the foundation up. Our professionally engineered DIY tiny home kits give you a reliable structural starting point while leaving the finishes, fixtures, and final personality of the home in your hands.

A Professionally
Engineered Head Start

A successful DIY build begins long before the first wall goes up. The foundation, structural framing, dimensions, weight distribution, windows, doors, utilities, and final use of the home all affect the design. Our DIY building systems help remove uncertainty from the most critical structural stages of the project.

Depending on the package you select, we can provide.

You decide how much of the build you want us to complete and how much you want to finish yourself.
