Spend $30 to $50K on a lot. $97K on the dry-in kit, $15Kto $20K on lot clearing and foundation, $60K for interior finish, insulation, etc. Be at $200K and have a 1022 tiny house with no garage. What a deal!

Yea- the math just seems wonky
$100 a sq ft and from there it’s DIY, you supply foundation and you supply finishes?
Ignoring the lot, doesn’t that seem super pricy for no labor, no foundation and no finishes?

And that is not counting your time to DIY a home build. And while they provide to you engineer stamped plans, you still have to hire an engineer to sign off on the various steps of construction. Who the hell is going to DIY exterior doors, window, and roofing to meet those specs? So, you call a local builder/framer and you get arse raped on price (and rightfully so) due to it being so small and out of the norm (metal stud construction).
And lets not even discuss the cost over runs when even 3% of the materials are missing, out of spec, damaged in shipping and this contractor sits around for a few weeks while you run around trying to source a highly specific window or beam and then get it approved by your engineer.

I legitimately zoomed in because I thought it said $9,700, thinking no way it’s $97k.
