Tiny House Build Slot Deposit

Scenario: you have probably visited for a consultancy and are ready to make the next step to commission your project and secure a specific production date - this involves booking an available slot in the Build Queue.

I operate a Build Queue system because I work on my own and only build two or three projects a year - so there has to be a ‘first-come first-served’ basis to ensure fairness and assist organisation of time and materials. Please note that start dates are exactly that - materials are scheduled and the design and build process will begin relentlessly at that date - you must be in a position to give me a final design brief at that starting point.

Projects involving land and money and people are often fraught with changes of plan and if it turns out that you can’t fill the slot you have booked, then I will offer it to the next customer in the queue if they are in a position to accept their build earlier; in the meantime, your slot will be swapped to their later position and the process begins again. You will not lose this deposit unless you cancel altogether.

Tiny House Build Slot Deposit Terms

A non returnable deposit to secure a specific future slot in the Build Queue. This is a forward payment towards your project total. Following payment I will issue a letter of acknowledgement to form our contract.

This fee is not refundable and represents a commitment by the client and a small compensation for myself if unforeseeable events cancel a project ie. for having potentially turned away or lost another project which could have been taken on at that time.

Please do not order unless you have arranged with me first.

A non returnable deposit to secure a specific future slot in the build queue. This is a forward payment towards your project total. Following payment of the deposit I will issue a letter of acknowledgement outlining the contract between us. Please do not book and pay until you have discussed your project with me first.

The Build Queue system gives each project in the queue an agreed build slot. Slots can be moved forwards or backwards if an opportunity arises to rearrange the queue due to cancellation etc. You will not lose your Build Slot deposit unless you cancel the project altogether.

Typical individual build times for NestPods and NestHouses range from 4-7 months per house.

Tiny House Build Slot Deposit Terms and Conditions

The deposit is not refundable and represents an important intention of commitment by the client and a small compensation for myself if unforeseeable events cancel a project - compensation for having potentially turned away or lost another project which could have taken that slot. You will not lose your Build Slot deposit unless you cancel your project altogether.

Transparency: I will set a future start date with you based on my current work schedule and other forward bookings in the queue.

I promise to inform you at any time leading up to our agreed start date if I anticipate any delay with the project before yours - ie. if it looks like it will run over schedule due to a change in circumstances. I do anyway include up to a month rest break between projects so this allows some safety margin but it is possible that a customer has asked for a specification change which will take longer etc.

For your part - you must equally keep me informed of any changes in your circumstances which may jeopardise the project such as problems with financial matters, Planning Permissions or personal circumstances. Honesty at the earliest time is a vital part of this system to prevent inconvenience and loss of faith.
If you are unable to proceed on the agreed date then your build slot will be swapped to the next available position in the build queue and the process begins again so. You will not lose your deposit unless you cancel altogether. Please note that start dates are exactly that - materials are scheduled and the design and build process will begin relentlessly at that date - you must be in a position to give me a final design brief at that starting point. In the month before your agreed start date I may also need a further advance deposit of 5-10% of the project total - see Build Terms and Conditions.
