Tiny homes
Tiny Home Builder
Wolf builds permanent small homes to residential code and installs them on foundations. We begin by checking whether the property can support the home, how it will be permitted, and whether it can be delivered to the site.
Where Wolf works
In Washington and Oregon, Wolf employees handle your project from property review and permits through construction, site work, delivery, and installation. Some projects require third-party services, such as surveys or septic design and installation, depending on the property and jurisdiction. Beyond Washington and Oregon, local contractors complete site work and utility connections.
Who it’s for
Who a small home can work for
People who want a legal dwelling
A home with a kitchen, bath, and certificate of occupancy has to meet residential code, which makes it a different product from an RV or a cabin on a chassis.
First homes and backyard add-ons
A compact one-bedroom can be a first house on land you own, a guest house, or housing for a grown kid moving home, if the lot and the jurisdiction allow it.
Downsizers who still want a real kitchen
Our smallest plans still ship with a full kitchen and bath, standard plumbing and insulation, and a legal heat source.
What Wolf builds
What “tiny” means at Wolf
The International Residential Code’s Appendix Q treats a tiny house as 400 square feet or less, excluding lofts. Our most compact plan, Model B (City of Portland only), is 307 sq ft and is the only Wolf model in that size class. Larger small homes (Model K at 432 sq ft, Models E and F at 616) are still factory-built and often permitted as ADUs (accessory dwelling units), but they are not tiny houses under that appendix. Local adoption of Appendix Q varies, so we confirm the permit path for your parcel.
A permanent home on a foundation
A Wolf home can be moved later with the right permits and a CDL (commercial driver’s license) crew, but it is permitted as a permanent structure on a foundation, not as an RV.
The lot decides the model
The biggest mistake we see is picking a floor plan before anyone knows the setbacks, delivery width, and utilities. A smaller home is not automatically easier or cheaper to site.
Factory build, field set
Framing, wiring, plumbing, and finish happen indoors in Battle Ground. Our crew delivers and sets the home. Shop time is typically a few weeks; permitting still sets the calendar.
Process
How a tiny home project works
- 1
Will it fit?
Setbacks, access for a trailer or crane, and utility hookups decide what is buildable. We check those first.
- 2
How will it be permitted?
The city or county determines whether the home is an ADU, guest house, or primary dwelling. We confirm that path before design begins.
- 3
Permit and produce
We file locally and build the module under state factory inspection so those tracks can run together.
- 4
Set and connect
Foundation, placement, utilities, inspections, keys, and a one-year workmanship warranty.
Models

If you need the IRC (International Residential Code) tiny-house size class, start with Model B (City of Portland only). If you need a compact but not sub-400 sq ft home, start with K or E.
Notice the rooms and details you would use. These are layouts to explore; we need to review your property before recommending one.
