Engineered for South Carolina's conditions
Every Kyrax home shipped to South Carolina is sized to the actual code and climate values for your site — not a generic climate package.
Homes bound for hurricane-exposed states are engineered to current wind-load standards, with high-velocity hurricane-zone (HVHZ) detailing available. Impact-rated windows, hurricane straps, and reinforced roof decking keep your home secure through coastal weather. Elevated foundation options available for flood zones. For South Carolina specifically, engineering follows a 6-inch frost depth, ground snow loads in the 0–10 psf range (ASCE 7), design wind speeds of 130–160 mph (coastal), and Seismic Design Category C–D (Charleston zone). These numbers drive real choices — foundation depth, roof framing, wall sheathing thickness, and hurricane strap density are all sized to your specific SC lot.
South Carolina tiny home regulations
How tiny homes are classified
Secondary dwelling or ADU with municipal review, or THOW under RV/park-model classification
State-specific note
Charleston's seismic zone is one of the few high-seismic areas east of the Mississippi — foundation design follows SDC C–D standards even inland.
ADU rules vary by municipality. Urban centers generally permit backyard units and secondary suites; suburban and rural areas range from permissive to restrictive. Tiny homes on foundations are evaluated under the International Residential Code (IRC), which covers homes 400 sq ft and under via Appendix Q. Movable tiny homes may fall under RV, park-model, or specific local rules. Check with your local building department for specific setback, size, and utility requirements. In South Carolina, the applicable framework is the 2021 IRC (South Carolina Residential Code). Charleston's seismic zone is one of the few high-seismic areas east of the Mississippi — foundation design follows SDC C–D standards even inland. Classification here is typically: Secondary dwelling or ADU with municipal review, or THOW under RV/park-model classification.
Before you order: these are general frameworks — your specific lot, local amendments, and utility situation determine the actual permits you'll need. We'll help you confirm the details for your exact address during quoting.
