Tiny Home Builder Challenges Housing Crisis

FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION

TINY HOME BUILDER CREATES LEGAL TINY HOMES AS HOUSING CRISIS CONTINUES TO LOOM

SEPTEMBER 11, 2023 (GIBSONS, BC): A Sunshine Coast tiny home designer and builder is paving the way for the implementation of tiny homes as a means for suitable and affordable housing in Canada. At present, these homes are typically built to recreation vehicle standards that are considered by regional districts as seasonal use only, limiting where they can be placed and how long they can be occupied. Sunshine Tiny Homes, led by Founder, Owner, and Operator Pam Robertson, aims to support those affected by the housing crisis by working with local law makers to alleviate bylaws and restraints for zoning so that tiny homes can be used as full-time residences.

“We build innovative solutions to some of the biggest economic, environmental and social challenges today,” says Pam Robertson. “We see tiny homes as a step toward financial freedom, minimalist lifestyles and smaller carbon footprint living.”

Most recently, the Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) has removed the building width requirement, which allows for tiny homes to be places most anywhere. Sunshine Tiny Home ‘Solaris’ model can be placed as a primary permanently occupied dwelling wherever zoning allows manufactured homes. They can also be placed on raw land, for use as a secondary home, or as an auxiliary unit for additional use for a household.

By purchasing a manufactured tiny home, the task of meeting regulations is simplified. Manufactured Z240 MH tiny home models can differ, so it’s important to not only research which model best suits you, but to know and understand bylaws and restrictions where you want to live. Tiny homes currently fall into an uncertain regulatory landscape, and advocates like Pam from Sunshine Tiny Homes are working to develop global standards that will allow consumers to confidently buy, build and live in tiny homes.

Says Pam, “Knowing about site preparation, foundation and anchorage is fundamental. Permits are required along with a healthy dose of preparation and planning. When you build with us, we assist you through the necessary steps to ensure the landing of your tiny, manufactured home meets municipal requirements.”
