Cottage Dwellings
Kanga Cottage Dwellings are designed for locations that will require a full onsite building inspection of the structure. These are generally located inside city limits, although there are areas within city limits and some towns where a full onsite inspection may not be required.
Pricing
Pricing for tiny cottage homes vary by the options that are chosen, such as flooring type, number of windows, decks and porches. Next to each plan you will see a range for the Cottage Dwelling cost. The cost of a Cottage Dwelling is typically higher due to many factors involved with building in a city and going through an inspection process with significantly more onsite build time.
Features
Cottage Dwellings are available as shell kits, installed shells (Texas only) and turnkey buildings (Texas only).
Shell kits consist of the exterior material building; the tiny cottage will look complete from the exterior upon local install completion, with only the pine tongue-and-groove ceiling cover, exposed studs and interior wall framing on the inside.
Installed shells are essentially the shell kit as installed by Kanga Room Systems in Texas.
Turnkey buildings are move-in ready homes that are completely finished on the inside and out with electrical, plumbing and fixtures. Please note that Kanga Rooms does not provide kitchen appliances.

Kit Information
Cottage Dwelling kits are available for DIYers in Texas and most other states, though some limitations apply. Most of our kit customers choose to have local contractors assemble their Kanga homes.
All kits include pre-framed walls, panelized roof material (rafters, decking, Galvalume metal roof cover, flashing and insulation), our standard pine tongue-and-groove ceiling cover, lap siding, house wrap, optional interior wall framing (for bathroom, bedroom and closets), loft platform, and windows and doors to your specs. Everything in the kit is pre-cut and panelized, except the siding, and ready for a speedy onsite install.
Due to the stick-built nature of our prefabbed product, all electrical wiring, plumbing and painting must be completed onsite by you or your contractor. We are able to send the majority of the material for the buildings (i.e., skid/pier and beam foundation platform, decking, wall cover, flooring, light fixtures, bathroom vanities, HVAC wall unit, etc.), but it is usually more cost effective for you to buy those materials locally.
Please note that typically we don’t send foundation or deck material with the kits, as it’s far more time- and cost-efficient for you to complete it while we prepare your kit for shipping.
