About Tiny Homes SA

Rethinking how South Africa builds homes

Tiny Homes SA started with one question: could housing be done better and faster than the usual way? We believe a dignified home shouldn’t cost decades of debt. Every unit we put our name to is held to one standard: it’s small but feels generous inside, it’s resilient, and it’s genuinely affordable.

From our base in Raslouw, Centurion, we supply high-end prefab tiny homes (X-Folds, expandable homes, nature cabins, apple cabins and glamping capsules) plus outdoor kitchens, and we deliver anywhere in South Africa. Customers call them tiny houses, granny pods or prefab cabins. Whatever you call them, they’re built to the same standard.

Building the conventional way takes too long, costs too much and leaves too much to chance. Our answer is precision factory building: steel-framed, insulated homes finished indoors, trucked to your site and set up fast: an X-Fold unfolds in minutes, an expandable home is set up the day it arrives, and cabins and capsules arrive fully built. Deposit to move-in takes around 90 days, and every home we supply comes with a 1-year limited guarantee on all our products.

There are five home designs, from the R 54 900 X-Fold to the R 1 099 900 flagship 11.5 m glamping capsule, and every price we publish is ex VAT. We also supply outdoor entertainment kitchens. Finance available through a third-party provider, subject to credit approval.

Our mission

“A well-built home shouldn’t take years to deliver or a lifetime to pay off.”

We use precision factory building so that a high-end, sustainable home is within reach of more South Africans, on farms, in gardens, at lodges and everywhere in between.

What we value

Five commitments behind every home

Quality in steel

Every home in the range is built around a steel structure with insulated wall panels: factory-precision construction made for South African conditions.

Honest pricing

Every price we publish is ex VAT, from the R 54 900 X-Fold to the R 1 099 900 glamping capsule, and delivery is quoted upfront.

Speed, without shortcuts

About 90 days from deposit to move-in. On-site setup ranges from minutes for an X-Fold to placing a fully built cabin or capsule onto its foundation.

Sustainability that works

Solar, battery, gas geysers and rainwater tanks can be paired with most homes, quoted for your site, built to keep running through load-shedding.

Guaranteed, and supported

1-year limited guarantee on all our products, plus full after-sales support long after handover.

The process

Deposit to move-in, in about 90 days

The same five steps sit behind every build, from the first conversation to handover day.

  1. Discuss

    We talk through your site, your budget and what the home needs to do: garden office, guest suite, lodge accommodation or full-time living.

  2. Design

    Pick your model and layout, then configure finishes and modules: flooring, insulation, wet room and kitchen, to suit how you'll live in it.

  3. Quote

    You receive an itemised quote, priced ex VAT, with delivery estimated for your exact location.

  4. Build

    Your home is built precisely, under factory conditions and out of the weather, in steel and insulated panelling, and it's quality-checked before it ships.

  5. Deliver & install

    We truck the finished home anywhere in South Africa and set it up on site, from minutes for an X-Fold to placing a fully built cabin or capsule onto its foundation.

Delivery & installation

To every corner of the country

Your home arrives on a flatbed truck, anywhere in South Africa. Delivery is quoted separately based on your location and site accessibility. We deliver nationwide. We can also arrange the full turnkey install, so all you do is unlock the front door.

Based in Raslouw, Centurion

Based in Gauteng, at the centre of the national road network, well placed to reach any province.

Delivery, quoted for your site

Coast, bushveld or mountains: if a truck and crane can reach it, we can put a home on it. Your delivery cost is confirmed with your formal quote, based on distance and site accessibility.

Full turnkey installation

We can arrange the groundwork while your home is being built: plinths, electrical, water and sewerage connections, then erect the home, connect services and hand over the same day, move-in ready. Use your own contractors, or let our site manager guide the process on ours.

Finance available

Finance available through a third-party provider, subject to credit approval. You’ll need a valid SA ID or passport, your latest three months’ bank statements or proof of income and a good credit record; a deposit may be required depending on the unit.
