Karaka 233
2
Floor size: 33m2
Our KARAKA 233 Tiny Home recognises the need for a compact 2 bedroom tiny home.
The Karaka 233 is well designed and meets the NZ Building Code for a 30m2 non-consented home even though it has an overall floor area of 33m2. Talk to your consultant to find out how this works.
The extra bedroom can either be used as an office/study or a single room, which when fitted with bunk beds will easily accommodate two children. This makes the Karaka 30 a four person family tiny home, representing exceptional value for money when compared to the cost of the larger 2 bedroom tiny homes.

All our Tiny Homes are NZ Building Code Compliant and come with a Code Compliance Certificate (CCC)
which confirms the work done complies with the approved building consent.
The process is to lodge an OFF SITE Building Consent application prior to construction commencing,
once approved construction can commence.
NO completed Tiny Homes leave our construction yard/s without a CCC.
The cost of an OFF Site building consent application and CCC certificate varies across the country/regions with a range
from $4,000 to $6,000 and is based on the value of the Tiny Home. Contact us for pricing in your area.
If constructing ON Site our sales partners can offer advise for the Council ON Site CCC requirement's.
