Initiating Contact With Small House Solutions

As you prepare for this project, please bear in mind that “small” does not equal “cheap”. We are not a low-budget builder.

Choose how you’d like to connect:

Our project contracts range from $240 to $500+ per square foot, with cost decreasing as square footage increases. Due to current market conditions, we cannot offer construction contract pricing under $150,000, with the exception being accessory structures with no plumbing (i.e.: backyard office). If your specified budget is not realistic for your project, we will respectfully cancel your consultation with an email response as to why.

We look forward to speaking with you.
