How it works

From first enquiry to keys in hand.

A Reflecta is a real building on real land. Five stages sit between reading this page and sleeping in one, and you control the pace of every stage but the factory.

01
Weeks 0–4

Understand the product and the site

Read the specification, the permit pack and the delivery guide, then compare your plot against them. Most disqualifying problems show up here, not later.

Access width, slope, ground conditions and setback rules decide which model fits. A coordinator will look at a satellite view with you on a twenty-minute call.

What you do
—Confirm road access for a delivery truck
—Check zoning and minimum dwelling size
—Note slope and tree cover

Week 4

Configure and reserve a slot

Choose the model, finish, packages and delivery region, and hold a production slot with a refundable deposit. Nothing is manufactured yet.

The deposit is refundable in full for 30 days and credited against the balance. It buys you a place in the queue and a named coordinator, not an obligation to build.

What you do
—Configure the home online
—Pay the refundable deposit
—Book the introductory call

Weeks 5–12

Permits, drawings and groundwork

Because the home arrives fully built, there is no construction to permit, only the foundation and service connections. We issue stamped drawings; a local engineer files them.

Choose the trailer chassis and in most places it is registered as a movable home instead, with no building permit and no foundation. Your slot holds while paperwork runs.

What you do
—File drawings with your authority
—Install screw piles or pads
—Bring water, power or septic to the pad
Cost at this stage
$2,000 – $12,000 locally
04
Weeks 12–24

Production and shipping

Your home is built on the line, furnished, wired, plumbed and water-tested, then loaded into a container for the nearest port.

Photo updates land every Friday. Nothing leaves the factory until the final inspection passes, and the balance is only due when the container is sealed.

What you do
—Approve the weekly build photos
—Confirm the port and customs broker
—Settle the balance on dispatch
Cost at this stage
Shipping $5,000 – $10,000 by size
05
Delivery day + 1

Craning, hook-up and handover

A crane sets the home on its piers, or it is towed onto the pad on its trailer. A local plumber and electrician make the final connections, and it can take its first guests that week.

No pour, no scaffolding, no six-month site. The ten-year structural warranty starts at handover and the site is left as it was found.

What you do
—Book crane and local trades
—Walk the handover checklist
—Register the warranty
Cost at this stage
$6,000 – $14,000 locally
Permits and the law

One of the easiest buildings you will ever put on land.

A Reflecta arrives 100% built and inspected at the factory. There is no construction site to permit, schedule or inspect, only a foundation and a few connections. It is furnished and ready to rent the week it lands.

01Arrives fully builtFinished, furnished and inspected in the factory. No construction site, no trades on site for months, nothing for an inspector to chase.Local checks cover the foundation and hook-ups only
02On a trailer, it movesAdd the road-legal trailer chassis and it becomes a movable tiny home, registered like a vehicle. That passes most laws without a building permit or foundation.Trailer chassis +$12,000 · Nest and Mirror homes
03Ready to rentConnect water and power, and it can take its first guests the week it lands. Most owners have their rental licence in place before delivery.Check local short-term rental rules

Rules differ by state, county and country. Your coordinator checks your address against local rules before you pay anything beyond the reservation, and tells you which path fits.

Why factory building costs less

The same house, built two ways.

A like-for-like comparison against a site-built home of the same footprint and finish level in a typical North American market.

Illustrative comparison for a 28 m² home. Your figures move with land, labour rates and local permit costs.

Is your site ready?

Eight things to check before you reserve.

01Truck accessA 12 m truck needs to reach within crane range. Tight lanes and low branches are the usual blockers.
02Crane standingFirm level ground within about 20 m of the pad for the crane to set up.
03ZoningMinimum dwelling size rules can catch a 24 m² home. The trailer option usually sidesteps them.
04SetbacksDistance to boundaries, water and roads decides where on the plot the home can sit.
05GroundScrew piles suit most soils. Rock or deep peat needs an engineered alternative.
06ServicesWater, power and waste to the pad, or the off-grid package and a septic system.
07ClimateSnow load, wind zone and seismic band change the structural specification.
08InsuranceConfirm your insurer covers a factory-built dwelling before you pay the balance.

The owner's file answers the rest.
