FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q. I know it's tiny homes, but can two be purchased to create a larger living space?
A. Multiple units can be purchased and combined, to create a larger living space. Configuration is limited only by your imagination.
Q. Would I need town planning approval to construct on my land?
A. Planning permission, short answer is you need to check with the competent authority, yes Town Planning.
Technically one unit can be considered a movable chattel, and as such planning permission _should_ not be needed.
Multiple combined units most likely will
need planning permission.
Q. Are you aware of any restrictive covenants preventing use of this product? My restrictive covenant has no wood.
A. Certainly the only restrictive covenants that should concern you are the ones that appear on your title deed.
However we have seen for example:
must be built primarily of masonry. To satisfy that we advise the use of concrete board walls.
must be designed by an architect licensed to practice in Barbados. You can can get your chosen configuration, designed by a local practitioner.
With regards your restrictive covenant, our normal build does not contain any wood.
That being said one would be hard pressed to find any house in Barbados with NO wood. Consider roof structure, cabinetry, stairs.

A. Single units are built on our property, transported to buyer's property.
Two to three units, will be transported to buyer’s property as raw materials, built and combined on your property, by our team.
