What technology goes into building a TimberTiny home?

Posted byTim Hewitt-ColemanPosted inUncategorized

The short answer to this question is ” We use no new or clever tech at all!”

There is nothing new under the sun

We are proud of this fact. We wear it like a badge.

While our units are comfortable and beautiful, they rely on nothing new, nothing clever and nothing novel. I know this could sound boring to some people, but the truth is that the reason we do not have many many more Timber houses or Tiny houses in South Africa and the world is not because of the shortage of technology to build them. The technology exists, it’s just that the construction industry in South Africa has got itself stuck in a rut Thankfully though, there are a growing number of innovative home home builders that are ready and willing to break out of the mould and do things differently.

The truth is that all we have done at TimberTiny is to put together ordinary components and ordinary material with ordinary tools, but we have put them together with love and care in such a way as to make them special, clever and distinct.
