The average lead time is 10 to 12 weeks, but this depends on a few factors.

You’ll likely need a building permit before we can ship your kit, and approval timelines vary by location. Don’t worry — we provide a Permit Plan Package within about 2 weeks to help speed up your application.

Once you’ve secured your spot on our Production Schedule, your kit will be ready for delivery within 6–8 weeks of your scheduled start date.

Planning ahead helps you stay on track — and we’ll help every step of the way

We don’t offer in-house financing, but many of our customers secure funding through local or regional banks near their build site.

One key point:
Your TULIP home is not classified as a trailer or RV.
It’s a permanent structure built on real property, qualifying it for traditional real estate loans — including FHA, VA, and USDA loans — often with better rates and longer terms.

Need alternatives? We’ve compiled financing resources for specialized lenders on our Financing Info page.

No — our Permit Plan Package includes everything you need, engineered and stamped by a licensed professional in your state.

Unless your property has unusual terrain (e.g., steep slopes), you won’t need to hire outside professionals. We’ll gladly review your site to confirm.

The Permit Plan Package is $3,500 ($5,900 in California).
For homes with basement foundations, plans are $7,000.

Your Permit Plan Package includes a custom-engineered foundation plan based on your specific site.

These plans are sealed by a licensed engineer in your state and meet all local permitting requirements. You’ll just need to hire a local contractor to build the foundation before your kit arrives.

TULIP kits are designed to be highly energy-efficient.

Each home includes:

  • Factory-installed R40+ high-density foam insulation
  • Energy-efficient windows and doors
    This combination creates a tight thermal envelope that reduces heating and cooling costs while allowing you to install a smaller HVAC system — saving money up front and long term.

Need higher R-values (like R49 for Colorado)? We can help you meet IECC compliance — just ask!

Thanks to the exceptional insulation in every TULIP home, we recommend a Mini-Split AC/Heat Pump system.

If you're building in a colder climate, opt for a Cold Climate Mini-Split for efficient year-round performance.

We love brands like MrCool and Pioneer — they’re reliable, energy-efficient, and easy to install.

Absolutely. TULIP homes are ideal for off-grid living thanks to their superior energy efficiency.

With a solar power system and (optionally) a wood stove, you can create a fully independent, comfortable home.

We've even partnered with solar experts to help you estimate power needs and recommend panels, batteries, and more.
We love off-grid living — and we’re here to help you make it possible.

To maintain speed and affordability, we offer a streamlined production process with a few customizable options:

  • 5 popular cabinet finishes to choose from
  • 10 metal roof colors available

Beyond these, our focus on consistency allows us to deliver the most complete, cost-effective kit on the market.

Start by checking your HOA's minimum square footage and design requirements.

For reference:

  • Vista 1: ......sqft of living space
  • Vista 2: ......sqft
  • Vista 3: ......sqft
  • Vista 4: ......sqft

If your HOA requires architectural drawings, elevations, or additional documentation, we can provide everything needed for approval.

Yes — keeping your TULIP kit materials dry and protected from the elements is essential.

Delivery should be scheduled as close as possible to your build start date. If short-term storage is needed, we recommend high-quality tarps that fully cover the kit to prevent moisture damage.

Remember: many of our components are custom — not something you can replace at a local hardware store. Protecting your investment is key.

There’s no real comparison — TULIP homes are in a different league.

Tiny Houses on Wheels (THOW) are legally classified as personal property, like an RV or trailer. That means:

  • Financing is harder to get, with higher interest rates and shorter terms
  • Property placement is limited — many towns and subdivisions restrict trailers
  • Value depreciates over time, just like a car
  • They're taxed and registered like a vehicle

TULIP homes, on the other hand:

  • Are built on permanent foundations on real land
  • Qualify for traditional mortgage financing (FHA, VA, USDA, etc.)
  • Can appreciate in value over time
  • Offer more stability, comfort, and long-term return — especially for rental investors

You get a real home with real advantages — and fewer compromises.

Not at all. Our Permit Plan Package is stamped and sealed by a licensed engineer in your state and includes all the structural documents required to obtain permits.

In most cases, no additional professionals are needed. However, if your site is unusually steep or complex, we’ll let you know if extra engineering is required.

Your TULIP home will sit on a permanent foundation, engineered specifically for your location.

Our Permit Plan Package includes all foundation drawings, ready for your local contractor to build before kit delivery. It’s all part of the process.

Every TULIP kit includes factory-installed R40+ high-density foam insulation and energy-efficient windows and doors — creating a thermal envelope that’s airtight and efficient.

Benefits:

  • Lower energy bills
  • Reduced HVAC system size (and cost)
  • Exceptional comfort year-round

Need higher specs (like R49 for some states)? We can help meet compliance and certification — just let us know your location.

Yes! For most regions, a 24,000 BTU Mini-Split Heat Pump is ideal — efficient, quiet, and cost-effective.

In cold climates, choose a Cold Climate Mini-Split (brands like MrCool and Pioneer are our favorites).

We provide suggested layouts and photos showing where to place the system inside your completed home.
