Client Journey – Not So Tiny Client Journey
If you have chosen your Not So Tiny model the next step is to provide us with a site address so we can see if there would be any potential challenges with council approval (i.e., zoning, layovers) and provide an estimate for installation and transportation costing that considers access and existing infrastructure (i.e., existing wastewater, electrical, potential earthworks). If you are happy with the site specific transportation and installation estimates we have provided, the next step is for us to help you obtain a planning and building permit for your site.
Council – We can engage a third party to handle the planning and building approval process for you! We recommend this approach, but if you would like to do this yourself, we can supply plans and engineering to assist.
Contract – We use a HIA Preliminary Agreement (to action council approval process). Once approval is through and all trades have submitted site specific quotes for installation, a HIA Residential Building contract is completed, which includes an agreed payment schedule.
Payment – Payment terms include an initial deposit, progress payments and final payment on installation. Once your approval is through, we commence building your project. If you have a tight time frame, please let us know and we will work to accommodate your request.
Viewing – If you are keen to see your build come together, you are welcome to view the build at any stage or be part of this process via video call if you wish.
Site works – As it gets closer to the transport day, we complete site works to ensure everything is ready for the crane to lift your build into place. From there, a plumber and electrician are required to connect the build to site, we engage trades to do this as they are familiar with our product and us their quality of work. However, if you would like to arrange your trades you can.
Completion Certificate – Once council signs off on installation you can move in.
