Tiny houses have captured the imagination of many seeking simplicity, affordability, and sustainability in their living spaces. While the term "tiny house" may evoke a singular image, the reality is far more diverse. In this guide, we'll delve into the fascinating world of tiny houses, exploring each distinct type so you can determine which best fits your lifestyle and needs. 

Tiny homes have gained popularity in recent years, offering a minimalist and sustainable living solution that can be tailored to your lifestyle. In this article, we will explore the benefits of using steel framing for tiny house construction over other conventional framing methods.

Residents of San Diego County are all too aware that affordable housing has become increasingly difficult to come by. The average home price in San Diego is around $675,000, while a typical one bedroom apartment costs about $2,000 a month in rent. Heck, even renting a room is pricey. With homelessness on the rise, and a pandemic threatening the livelihoods of so many, a solution to the affordable housing crisis is long overdue. 

So you want to build a tiny home or a small modular home. Well, now you can frame it yourself in a day or so with a few friends! It's like a modern-day barn-raising, and we are here to make it simple and fast. Here's how it works:
