FAQs
How do I get started?
Things you will need: A survey of your property and land already purchased/owned. If you live outside of Raleigh, NC city limits, please email your city or county and ask if you can build an ADU/tiny home on your property.

What does THR do best?
Tiny Homes Raleigh specializes in ADUs (accessory dwelling units), Cottage Court Developments (multiple tiny homes on a residential lot), and consulting on what to do with your property. We only do tiny spaces so we are master’s of our craft.
Can I build multiple Tiny Homes?
Yes! Raleigh City Council just approved the law to build multiple Tiny Homes on a single lot called cottage courts. You can build up to 30 depending on the lot size and zoning district. Let us know where you want to build a tiny home community and we will walk you through the most up-to-date restrictions for your specific site.
Do I need to use one of THR designs?
No, not at all. We provide options that are tried and true and make sense for most clients. We can of course design your own custom floor plan based on what is important to you.
Will we need permits?
Yes and we will help you navigate that process so it will be very simple. Raleigh officially made ADU’s (Accessory Dwelling Unit) a.k.a Tiny Homes legal in July 2020! With this new law, every home owner has the right to build one Tiny Home, ADU, Cottage, whatever you wanna call it in your backyard. Everything will be straight forward and we will walk you through the steps from design aspects to the finishing touches.
Does it need to be a Tiny Home?
Of course not! Your structure can be used as an office, extra play space, a she-shed or man cave, or just there for friends and family when needed! The flexibility and options is key in order to living a sustainable life.
