The cost of a tiny home can be broken down into three categories. Firstly the pre-construction costs of architectural design and engineering. Secondly the permitting costs that are paid directly to the city. Lastly the actual cost of construction.
The pre-construction costs can range from $6,000 - $20,000 depending on the complexity and size of the project.
Permitting fees vary per city but range from $1,000 - $5,000.

In general the larger structure you build, the more cost efficient the building process becomes from a per square foot basis.
