Why Build a Tiny Home in Connecticut

Connecticut is an ideal location for tiny homes and ADUs, with its mix of urban, suburban, and rural settings. Here’s why building an ADU or tiny home in Connecticut is a valuable investment:

  • Generate Rental Income: An ADU provides an additional revenue stream. Connecticut’s high demand for rental properties makes an ADU a wise investment for steady rental income.

  • Flexibility Family Living: ADUs allow for multigenerational living by providing independent yet connected spaces for family members, from aging parents to adult children.

  • Guest Accommodations: Create a private, welcoming space for visiting friends and family without compromising your main home’s space.

  • Personal Retreats and Offices: Tiny homes make excellent home offices, art studios, or wellness spaces, ideal for those working from home or pursuing hobbies.

Project Phases

We'll work closely with you along the way, from design to delivery

At Contemporary Tiny Homes, we're here to guide you through the step-by-step process, from managing your location's zoning requirements, informing you on financing options, determining the perfect design for you and ultimately building your own high-quality Tiny Home quickly and within a reasonable budget.

01

Feasibility & Design

Our first step is to assess the feasibility of an ADU project on your lot, including zoning laws, soil condition, topography, and access to utilities. With the green light from the site feasibility study, we'll bring your vision to life through design and planning. We have various Tiny Home designs for you to choose from, and you can engage with our architectural team so that your Tiny Home is just the way you want it, while complying with local building codes and regulations.

02

Permit Application

Before construction can begin, we'll obtain the necessary building permits from your municipal authorities. This process involves submitting your plans and ensuring they comply with all local building codes and regulations. Permitting can be complex and time-consuming, but we'll manage every aspect of this critical step for you.

03

Construction

With permits in hand, we can commence the construction of your Tiny Home. This phase is where the plans for your new home transition from paper to reality, from the laying of the foundation and framing to the installation of electrical, plumbing, and finishing touches. We'll be communicating often and transparently throughout the construction to keep you informed as well as to receive any inputs, requests or questions you may have.

04

Final Walkthrough

The last step of the ADU-building journey is the delivery of your new home. We'll invite you for a walkthrough to ensure everything has been completed to your satisfaction and according to the agreed-upon specifications. Once we make any final adjustments, we'll hand in your keys to your new home, marking the completion of the construction process.
