For $99, you can download a PDF with all the construction details needed to build a 125-square-foot tiny house.
While tiny homes can be pricey, Portland Alternative Dwellings, or PAD, saves builders money through sweat equity. It offers low-cost tiny home design plans in PDF format, all designed by experts.
The plans range in price from $35 to $199 and provide instructions for homes from 56 to 179 square feet (with a 72-square-foot sleeping loft). They are illustrated with photographs and diagrams to help the construction process.
The most recent design plan (as seen above) is the “Bunk Box Tiny House.” It was released in October 2016.
