A cost-effective solution: Container Tiny Homes

05th November 2024

At Tiny Homes Tasmania, we believe that affordability shouldn't come at the expense of lifestyle. As such, our Tiny Homes come with surprisingly tiny prices, offering you smart housing solutions that address the affordability challenges across Australia.

With traditional housing prices and the cost of living heavy on the shoulders of the average punter, our Tiny Homes offer a practical alternative that allows you to embrace a more sustainable, manageable lifestyle without compromising on comfort or style. But it’s not just about cost. Our Container Tiny Homes blend comfort and luxury with minimalist design, proving that you don’t have to sacrifice the little luxuries to live well.

In this blog, we’ll lay out some reasons why tiny living is a smart choice for your bank account now, and well into future.

The most cost-effective solution on the market

In a world where real estate prices continue to skyrocket, our repurposing of 20-foot and 40-foot shipping containers into stylish, functional tiny homes offers you a compelling solution to modern housing challenges.

Traditional construction methods and materials can be expensive, especially in urban areas where demand for housing is high. Shipping containers, on the other hand, are relatively inexpensive and readily available for us to buy.

By transforming these containers into homes within minimal parameters, we can pass significant savings onto you. Of course, this affordability by no means comes at the expense of quality, as we ensure that each of our tiny homes are built to high durability and safety standards.

Traditional home construction can be a lengthy and complex process, often involving delays and unexpected costs. Because we construct our tiny homes locally at our workshop, we don’t need to account for the overheads of labour (or time delays), travelling back and forth to your site throughout the process. This results in a faster and more efficient construction timeline, and ultimately a more cost-effective process.

Since the containers are prefabricated and largely weatherproof, they can be transformed into liveable spaces relatively quickly. Our streamlined approach at Tiny Homes Tasmania means that you can move into your new space in a fraction of the time it would take with conventional construction methods.

“Tiny Homes Tasmania were the first company we looked at and every other option we looked into just couldn’t compete with [them]. The fact they offered a price to completely fit out and deliver to site kept everything neat and tidy on the budget end.”
Tyler, Container Tiny Home owner

So, what’s the investment?

Pricing will depend on the approach you’d like to take: we offer all our clients a full service from start to finish, including concept, design, planning approvals and permits, construction of the Tiny Home itself, project management and construction of the necessary siteworks, delivery, connection to services, and sign-offs.

We are also open to a more collaborative approach. Some of our clients will have preferred tradespeople for their siteworks, and some like to take care of some elements themselves.

Whatever your needs, we’ll provide transparent pricing estimates from the get-go and continue that level of clear communication throughout the build of your tiny home.
