ABOUT US
"We are passionate about quality and innovation"
Tui Tiny Homes Limited was established in 2019 by the current director, Lloyd Darroch. With decades of experience in the structural engineering field, boat building and his passion for innovative design and quality materials, Tui Tiny Homes quickly gained popularity amongst discerning buyers.
WHAT MAKES TUI UNIQUE?
Tui Tiny Homes Ltd is an innovative company with a clever concept that enables all our homes, but specifically even our larger two-bedroom homes, to be transported on it's own road-legal trailer. A large portion of the tiny home (the ‘slide-out’) can be quickly repositioned, by a single person, inside the main body of the home, making it real easy to move.
Once the home has been moved to a new location, the slide-out is quickly returned to its extended position. Then mobile decks are positioned and the tiny home is ready to be re-occupied.
Why invite problems if you can be legal?
We adhere to Land Transport New Zealand's regulations for "a load on a light trailer" which means you DO NOT require a Building Consent because our homes are regarded as "a vehicle", NOT "a building" in the current Building Act. Building a structure strong enough to be moved, as our homes are, requires far superior building methods and materials than something built to stay in one place. Therefore our homes are legal and also quality New Zealand designed and built homes.

“Thank you Tui Tiny Homes for building my dream home and accommodating my wish list. I love my home and it is fantastic to live in a space designed just for me. I love how we worked together to make sure I get the home I truly wanted within the budget I had to spend."

"Great work, great people, great results. The Tui team were accommodating and communicative throughout the entire build process. Everything was well communicated and they were more than happy to work with us to modify one of their existing floor plans to create something perfect for us. There are tons of customization options to personalize your build to fit your preferences and the Tui team are keen to hear new ideas and make changes if that’s what you want. They were transparent and honest about everything, and despite all the hold ups with materials and other chaos caused by the pandemic, they have managed to produce awesome results in a quick timeframe. I also found them to be thoughtful and proactive. They suggested a few additions/changes which I think will drastically improve the practical aspects of the home. As far as tiny homes go, I think Tui Tiny Homes definitely one of the most reasonably priced and I think probably the best value for money. The slide out makes it great for people with pets, or people with mobility issues who couldn’t utilize the generic “mezzanine bedroom” style most tiny homes have. The delivered build far exceeded our expectations and we are stoked with the results. They recommended a mover to deliver halfway across the country to us (who was also great to deal with). If you’re thinking about a tiny home – go with a Tui Tiny Home! Worth every penny, and you know your hard earned money is going to hard working, honest people; doing bloody fantastic

"When a change in circumstances found us looking for accommodation for a family member, I started looking at Tiny Home options. As the home was for an older family member, we were put off by the loft designs as this would not be practical in the long run. Tui Tiny Homes stood out with their slide out, single story design. Tui Tiny Homes customised their floor plan for us and we got the perfect home for our family member. The home has plenty of room and doesn’t feel tiny at all, very happy with design, fixtures and options given to us for choosing colours etc. We have found the Tui team very knowledgeable in all aspects of tiny home construction and fit-out. Communication was great and I was able to drop in on several occasions to check progress during the build. The deposit was held in a joint account and used only on our build. At no time were we ever concerned about the security of our money. Towing to and onto our site with difficult roads (after Auckland floods) and steep narrow driveway didn’t phase Jay the Towie at all, the tiny house was placed in perfect position. We have found dealing with Tui Tiny Homes a positive experience. They did what they said they would, when they said they would and we would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them to family and friends."
