Tiny Home Delivery & Setup: How It Works

The Journey to Your Doorstep

After months of anticipation, the moment arrives: your tiny home is ready for delivery. Understanding this process helps you prepare properly and avoid common pitfalls.

Pre-Delivery Preparation

Site Assessment (4-6 weeks before delivery)

• Access Evaluation: Can delivery trucks navigate your route? Consider road width, overhead clearances, and turning radius.
• Ground Conditions: Is the ground level and stable enough to support the home?
• Utility Locations: Mark all underground utilities before any ground work.

Site Preparation (2-4 weeks before delivery)

For Foundation Models:

• Excavation and grading
• Foundation installation (pier, slab, or crawl space)
• Utility rough-ins (water, sewer, electric)
• Allow concrete to cure (typically 7-14 days)

For Trailer Models:

• Level gravel pad or paving stones
• Wheel chocks and stabilization points
• Utility connection points accessible

Delivery Day

Timeline

Most deliveries are scheduled early morning to allow full day for setup.

What to Expect

1. Arrival: Pilot car (if required) followed by transport vehicle
2. Positioning: Careful maneuvering to final location
3. Leveling: Precision adjustments for proper drainage and door function
4. Securing: Anchoring to foundation or trailer stabilization
5. Initial Inspection: Walk-through with delivery team

Your Responsibilities

• Ensure clear access path
• Have site preparation complete
• Be present or have representative available
• Have payment ready per contract terms

Post-Delivery Setup

Utility Connections (1-3 days)
