Let’s start designing, Today!

Custom Design Packages Tailored to Your Project

This is how we begin:

You submit a general inquiry via “Contact Us”, or book a Free Phone or Zoom Consultation with us.
Based on our discussion, we make a recommendation on how to take the next step(s) with us. That may be one of the following:
- Meeting in-person on-site
- Perform a detailed feasibility study and providing you with a report
- Entering directly into a contract for the design, engineering, and permitting scope of the project

Embarking on your design journey with us is a seamless process, designed to bring your vision to life:

- Vision Alignment Meeting: Upon engaging us with a design agreement, we kick off by organizing a design-criteria meeting. Whether in person or via Zoom, this ensures that our vision aligns perfectly with yours.
- Conceptual Planning: We begin crafting conceptual floor plans and site layouts tailored to your needs. No property survey? No problem! We’ll gladly assist you in obtaining one.
- Conceptual Plans Delivery: Once completed, we promptly deliver the Conceptual Plans to you via email. Your input matters; feel free to approve them, request revisions, or schedule a discussion with your dedicated design lead.
- Electrical Layout Development: Next, we delve into developing an electrical layout plan, highlighting light fixtures, switches, outlets, and more. This plan is provided alongside any revised floor plans.
- Material Specifications: Your preferences matter. Upon your approval or feedback on the electrical layout plan, we curate a custom materials specifications Google Sheet. We then schedule a Zoom meeting to review the sheet together and assist you in making selections tailored to your project.
- Exterior Elevation Drafting: Visualizing your dream home is crucial. We proceed by drafting exterior elevation plans, offering you side perspectives of the structure for your review and approval.
- Finalization: Your satisfaction is our priority. Upon receiving your feedback, we meticulously finalize the plans, incorporating detailed cabinet elevations, roof plans, plumbing layouts, and a completed site plan.
- Documentation Gathering: We leave no stone unturned. Gathering all necessary documentation and plans from our trusted engineering partners, such as septic, geo-tech, and civil engineering plans, ensures a smooth process.
- Permit File and Construction Documents: With everything in place, we diligently complete the Permit File and Construction Documents, ensuring compliance and readiness for the next phase.
- Contract Presentation: Transparency is key. Small House Solutions presents you with a comprehensive Hard-Cost Contract for E-Signature. This detailed contract includes pricing, a draw schedule, contract terms, the Material Specification Sheet in PDF format, and all plans.
- Allowance Establishment: Your peace of mind matters. In the event that not all material selections are finalized by contract time, we establish line-item allowances for each selection, ensuring clarity and transparency.
- Finalization and Payment: Throughout the process, we strive for alignment and transparency. Any difference beyond these allowances is addressed through change orders or credited toward your final payment, ensuring a seamless and satisfying experience from start to finish.

Jason and his team were outstanding to work with! He not only listened to what I wanted and put my vision on paper but improved upon it in ways I wouldn’t have imagined. He was extremely timely and always kept me in the loop with their progress. I highly recommend him and Small House Solutions to create your next small house dream!!!

Renata Myers

Jason, you did exactly what we wanted you to do: Helping with floorpan & design, being the ‘general contractor’ with the city of San Antonio, and working with suppliers/manufacturers to get the price with our upgrades acceptable. You and Small House Solutions have made the experience easier than we thought it would be and we can’t thank you enough.

Tom Shields

Jason and his team were fantastic at getting my site review performed and helping me solidify my plans. We’re moving to the next phase and The Small House Solutions group is really bringing all of the plans and team together to bring my dream home to fruition. Great experience.

John McElhenney

Jason, Enrique and the rest of the team are wonderful to work with. I was impressed with their professionalism and how quickly they assessed my project. They make the building process easy.

Safia C

I did as much research as I could do online for ADU’s here in the Austin area. Good information is few and far between and I t’s quite a tedious process. Finally came across Small House Solutions and had a very helpful conversation with Jason. I gave him a little information of what I wanted and he was off to the races. Great process and they take out the guesswork of dealing with the city and the ever changing codes. One stop shop and I highly recommend. Have my design done and looking forward to finally breaking ground when I’m ready.

Keith Hill

So cool that they have a backyard tiny house in north Austin! They mentioned some resources for parking their houses if we bought one and recommended a realtor for finding land if we choose to go that route. VERY COOL! Excited to work with them when the time is right.

Not Today

This company seems to specialize in ADUs. Jason Kahle helped me navigate the permit process for our backyard house in N Austin. I recommend this company to anyone who is looking for a tiny or small house
