Tiny Home Costs Around the World
Typical price per square metre by region. Costs vary with local labour rates, engineering standards, and shipping.
Australia
$4,000 – $7,000+ AUD per m²
Fully finished, road-legal mobile models generally run $95,000 – $180,000+ AUD total. High-end custom layouts with off-grid features can reach $10,000 per m² once delivery and land connections are included.
New Zealand
$4,500 – $7,500+ NZD per m²
Priced similarly to Australia, but builds must comply with extreme coastal wind zones or heavy alpine snow zones depending on location.
USA & Canada
$3,500 – $6,500+ USD / CAD per m²
North American models usually feature thicker walls and advanced four-season insulation (spray foam, floor heating) to handle below-freezing winters, which raises custom costs.
UK & Europe
£2,500 – £4,500+ / €3,000 – €5,500+ per m²
Higher costs are driven by premium sustainable materials (European larch, thermowood) and high-efficiency triple-glazed windows.
