DON’T BUY THE PRETTY PICTURES.
BUY WHAT’S UNDER THEM.
This is where a 12x40
custom tiny home begins.
Before the cabinets.
Before the countertops.
Before the flooring,
shower, lights and fresh paint.
There’s 480 square feet of
structure that has to carry
everything above it.
These photos show something
most tiny-home listings never show you
How the home is actually built.
At Tiny House Dreaming,
we don’t just sell a finished
product and hope you never
ask what’s behind the walls.
We build from the ground up
and we’re proud enough of
the construction to show you the bones.
This 12x40 can become a
tiny home, guest house, ADU,
mother-in-law suite, Airbnb,
hunting cabin, lake house, office,
retirement home or backyard living space.
And here’s where it gets interesting
You decide where we stop.
Want an unfinished shell so you may
save money and finish it yourself?
We can do that.
Want the electrical, plumbing
and insulation handled before
you take over? We can do that too.
Want to walk into a completely
finished home with the kitchen,
bathroom, flooring, walls, lighting,
HVAC and finishes already completed?
We build turnkey too.
Our projects can include
residential-style framing,
insulated floor/wall/ceiling systems,
electrical, plumbing, mini-splits or
other HVAC options, kitchens, bathrooms,
tile showers, cabinetry, countertops,
residential windows and doors,
engineered plans when required,
delivery and more.
No, every 12x40
does not cost the same.
A shell in rural Missouri
and a fully finished residential
project being delivered across
state lines with engineered plans
and specific local requirements
are not the same scope.
That’s why we don’t pretend a single
Facebook price can accurately
represent every custom project.
We start with the important questions
Where is your property?
What are you building it for?
What does your city or county require?
How finished do you want it?
What are your must-haves?
What would be nice to have?
What budget are we designing around?
Then we help you build the smartest path
from dirt → structure → finished home.
Tiny House Dreaming builds
custom residential tiny homes,
modular projects and specialty
structures with projects available
for delivery across 20+ states.
We can also help navigate
the pieces people often forget
about until after they start shopping
permitting requirements, engineered plans, foundations, site considerations,
utility planning and financing options.
Don’t just shop for 480 square feet.
Shop for what those
480 square feet are made of.
