FAQ

Do i need building permit?

Yes — you do not need an architect for this.

It falls under a simplified building permit (nezahtevno gradbeno dovoljenje), which you can obtain on your own.

All instructions are included in every package, step by step. And if you need more help, our team is here for you.

⚠️ Please note: This applies to Slovenian building regulations.

If you are located outside Slovenia, make sure to consult a licensed professional in your country before starting your project.

Will I really be able to build this myself? I’m not a professional builder.

Yes — that’s exactly what our plans are made for.

We designed them using an IKEA-style, step-by-step system that removes guesswork and keeps every stage clear.

Even if this is your first DIY project, you’ll understand what to do, in which order, and how long it takes.

And if you ever get stuck, you can book a 1:1 online consultation with our architectural/engineering team.

Can I place the house anywhere?

The plot must be designated for residential use. This needs to be checked in advance.

I don’t want to deal with permits and construction. Can you handle everything for me?

Absolutely! We also offer a full turn-key service.

All you need to do is purchase the plan and contact us to arrange a meeting.

⚠️ Please note: This service is currently available only in Slovenia, in accordance with Slovenian building regulations.

Do you sell turnkey construction?

Yes — but only in Slovenia.
For all other countries we currently offer:

  • Plans
  • Consultations
  • Guidance
  • Support during your DIY build

Are the plans compliant with local law?

Our plans follow high professional standards and best practices, and include documentation for the simplified building-permit process (nezahtevni objekt).

However — local regulations differ.

That’s why we strongly recommend having a licensed local professional review the documentation before you start building.

Think of our plans as a master template that makes the entire process faster, easier, and safer — not a legal substitute for local oversight.

How much will materials cost?

Material costs depend heavily on your country and choices (eco, premium, budget materials).

But you can expect the overall investment for a 25 m² tiny home to be significantly lower than a traditional build — often 70–85% cheaper.

Our material list helps you get accurate local quotes before you start.

What if I don’t have all the tools?

Most steps require only standard tools available in local hardware stores or rental centers.

We also include a tool checklist so you can prepare ahead of time.

Are your designs eco-friendly?

Yes — sustainability is a core part of our philosophy.
Our houses use:

  • wood-based structures
  • efficient insulation
  • low-energy design
  • optional solar setup
  • minimal foundation footprint

This matches current EU green transition goals and lowers long-term operating costs.

Do you offer support if I need help during the build?

Yes — we offer online consultations with architects and engineers who designed the plans.

You can discuss:

  • Your terrain and placement
  • Technical details
  • Material options
  • Any challenge during construction

You’ll never feel alone in the process.

Can I use the house as an Airbnb or rental?

Absolutely — many customers do.

Our culturally-inspired designs (Slovenian kozolec, Alpine style, Japanese minimalism) create a unique guest experience that performs extremely well in rentals.

Why should I choose BIG tiny house?

Because we combine:

  • High-end architectural design
  • Cultural identity (Slovenian, Alpine, Japanese aesthetics)
  • Eco-friendly principles
  • Expert engineering
  • DIY simplicity
  • Affordable and transparent pricing
  • Direct support from real architects and builders

We don’t just sell plans — we help you build a small but extraordinary home.
