Generally, accessory units that are under 120 square feet typically do not require permitting. However, since the Mini unit needs electricity to provide lighting and power to the HVAC system, it's essential to confirm the specific requirements with your city or county's building department. They can provide you with the exact information on whether a permit is needed for your specific installation.

It's always a good idea to double-check with the local authorities to ensure everything is in compliance and to avoid any potential issues.

Absolutely! We stand behind the quality and craftsmanship of our accessory units, and to ensure your peace of mind, we offer a comprehensive warranty for both the Mini and the Studio.

For our units, a pier foundation in the form of precast concrete footings is the most ideal choice. It allows you to place the unit on top of leveled soil or gravel while ensuring the proper clearance underneath. With precast concrete footings, there's no need to deal with the hassle of mixing and pouring concrete, making the installation process faster and more straightforward.

While our models can also be installed on a concrete slab, it would require several modifications to accommodate the anchoring of the foundation beams, provide an 18" crawl space beneath the foundations, and allow space for water pipes, sewage pipes, and electrical hookups.

As of now, the Mini cannot be increased in size beyond its current specifications. However, we offer the Studio unit without a kitchen and/or wetroom, which allows you to have a larger functional space while still enjoying the benefits of our versatile and stylish Studio design.

While the Mini has its unique size constraints, the Studio without a kitchen and/or wetroom opens up possibilities for creating a more spacious area that meets your specific requirements. If you're interested in exploring this option further or have any other questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us.

As of now, the Mini does not come with a bathroom included. However, if you are in need of an accessory unit that includes a bathroom, we can offer the Studio unit without the kitchen.

Yes, there are additional costs outside of the purchase price of the Mini. Our upfront pricing does not include any sitework (such as utility connections, trenching, demolition, ground leveling, and foundation prep) and the cost of any sales tax or permit fees.
