Tiny, Modular and Prefab Home Costs
The biggest budgeting mistake is comparing shell prices instead of complete project costs. Delivery, site works, approvals, utilities, finance, and insurance can shift the final number substantially.
Tiny home cost drivers
Length, trailer rating, insulation, bathroom spec, off-grid systems, appliances, joinery, and delivery distance all affect tiny home pricing.
Modular home cost drivers
Module size, design complexity, engineering, transport distance, crane requirements, foundations, service connections, BAL/cyclone ratings, and finishing scope drive total modular home cost.
Finance and ownership costs
Repayments, insurance, maintenance, approvals, council fees, and land costs should be included before deciding whether a tiny or modular build is affordable.
