Site Work & Delivery – Phase 3

A common question we get when someone is thinking about purchasing a tiny home is how to go about site work. Look no further because we are a one-stop shop! Besides hiring us for permitting, you can also hire our Field Team to do site work, delivery, and setup. You don’t need multiple contractors to complete your project, just choose Wolf!

Each one of our models has a D&S (delivery & setup) starting price point ranging from $34,000 to $55,000+. We say starting because every site has different needs to prepare it for a tiny home. The basic cost includes:

  • Excavation: minimum required for foundation placement
  • Foundation: 6” concrete stem wall, 2’ tall
  • Trenching: 100’ of trenching 2’ deep, connecting to existing utilities
  • Grading: rough grade of area disturbed by trending and foundation excavation
  • Tree & Brush trimming: minimum tree & brush trimming to get the house into final location
  • Tree removal up to 6” in diameter: removals required for placement of house to the final location
  • Delivery: standard within 20 miles of Wolf Industries Inc.
  • Placement: in area reasonable accessible by standard delivery trailer
  • Final Inspection/Testing/Clean up

Some additional items that could be needed for your site include:

  • Farther Drive
  • Tree Protection
  • Deeper Utilities
  • Additional Trenching
  • Taller Foundation
  • New System – Well, Septic, PUD Power, Gas
  • Propane Tanks
  • Fence Repair
  • Landscaping

This is not a full list, just some of the common items added on to D&S. As mentioned before, every site is different and has specific needs. We will give you a better idea of what is needed during quoting, and then again during the initial site visit (ISV). The ISV usually doesn’t happen until we are ready to break ground, either when your house is about to start production or while it’s in production.

Starting the Delivery & Setup Process

When it is time to begin site work, someone from the Field Team will reach out to schedule the ISV. This is when they determine the exact project needs and Payment 5 – the 50% D&S Deposit is needed. You will also receive the D&S Expectations Letter, D&S Process Checklist, and the timeline.

Here is a timeline of the delivery & setup process…

As with any schedule, this is a guide that we try to stick to, but with so many moving parts, sometimes timing can fluctuate. We know that at this point we are reaching the end of your project and you are full of excitement and anticipation for when you get the keys to your new home. We do our best to keep you in the loop on how your project is going.

Here are some pictures for a few stages of Delivery & Setup…

Delivery/Tie Downs/Utilities

Decks

These are just a few examples of steps along the timeline, there is much more that goes into site work, delivery, and setup.

Once your house is placed, utilities are connected and tested, and the final inspection has happened, we do a walkthrough with you, and the last payment in the process is due – the 50% D&S closeout payment. We then hand you the keys to your new home! Congratulations! You now own a Wolf Industries Tiny Home!

Your project is now complete! We will give you a binder full of brochures, pamphlets, and instructions on how to take care of your new home. This also includes a 1-year warranty but as always, call with any questions!

Thank You for choosing Wolf Industries Inc! We are happy to have been your partner through this process and appreciate your business!
