When you build your cabin with us, you’re buying a great long-term investment.  A lot of the cabins and tiny homes you see on the market these days use cheap materials or are not built to code. We have over 40 years of experience in the building industry and will ensure your cabin is built to code and built to last. We use top-quality building materials, and ensure our cabins are energy-efficient with quality insulation. Plus, our cabins are wider than most on the market (approx. 700mm), which makes a big difference in a small space).  

Yes, we can customise your cabin to suit your needs including the colour of the exterior cladding/joinery and off grid options. Some changes may occur an additional cost.

Yes, all our cabins have triple-lined walls with R2.8 thick pink batt insulation. The roof is insulated with R5.6 thick pink batts. Floors are insulated with 100mm Poly R2.5 (Building code compliant). 

Code-compliant insulation should have an R rating, so it pays to check when looking. 

All windows are double-glazed aluminium – thermal extra low E/clear. 

Exemptions to the building Act that was introduced in August 2020, meaning a single-storey detached building up to 30 square metres, such as a sleep-out, or shed will now not require a council-approved building consent. However, this does not include bathrooms and kitchens. 

We will guide you through the process from design, right through to the finished product (including an Architectural Design Certificate and a full set of building consent standard plans on request). All Shoreline Cabins with plumbing will be issued a Code Compliance Certificate (CCC). The CCC is a legally recognised document verifying that the building work complies with the New Zealand Building Regulations.
