I was so glad to find 3 D maker site last year - built myself a small cabin to live in - (not a big as this only 2.4x4.2 )in in 2024 on our land - solved my problem of wanting to leave but not able to afford to rent anywhere I cannot thank you enough! 🙏
This is very cool... I have a 14yrold son who is keen to build a tiny house this shows him exactly how many steps would be involved.. Thanks for posting.
Great video. Could almost be used as a complete step by step aid for DIY. Chuck a soffit flashing animation in there for the high side raking soffit with a bit more window detail and they're legit closed in.
I just enrolled in a Quantity Surveying degree and I gotta tell you it is not easy for a rookie like me to visually imagine all the steps and parts that take to build up a house in accordance with NZS3604. But coming across your video does help me a lot!
Thank you! I am glad you find the videos helpful. I like to break things down into little steps to understand them. NZS3604 could be overwhelming when you start learning it. But once you use it few times in your projects, it becomes more understandable.
Hi, thanks for the insight.. I'm in NZ, contemplating how to use my saving on a place to call; my own.. Thinking, two 6m open side shipping containers conjoined giving me one large 6m x 6m room.. Replacing the doors with glass & allowing for eves to over hang with the use of metal sandwich insulated panel roof as well as using this same panel for full hight external wall cladding, wanting to go up two stores high ie.. I was wanting to place the whole thing on top of a pair of steel I beams at ether end along with 90mm hollow square steel post.. being lifted ( allowing for a car to be parked underneath/garage or carport ) Just that.. seen the above dwelling on a step slopping section, whereby one end is at ground level anchored onto a cement slap used for a carport & the other end is sitting on a single steel beam been held up by two 3m high steel posts. so what's the differents.. Would lifting this dwelling change the limited allowed 30 square meterage in NZ without need for consent.
Hi. You definitely need a building consent to do this. It is best to involve an architect who has experience with shipping containers as it is not within the building code. Also, it is not going to be cheap.
Thanks! Yes, I sell the plans for my cabins on Trademe. They are on special price (one third the price) at the moment and until Saturday morning. Here is a link to plans for this cabin. Please have a look at my other listings too as there are more plans: www.trademe.co.nz/a/marketplace/building-renovation/portable-cabins/listing/4798631790?bof=WSmijLUf
Hey I built a granny flat pretty well like this. I talked to neighbour and I got her approval at different stages ,showing her pictures and explaining height above fence to her etc but I didnt get her written approval unfortunately. The day it was erected she complained to council ....grrrrrr!!!! I had it set back 1m from boundary and no shadow falls on her section. 2 builders said it would be ok but the regulation says it has to be the height of building away from fence What do council do in cases like this as it will be expensive to move and if so it makes it too close to house (consent wise) Wonder how inspectors deal with this?
@@tosha5052 I’m sorry that the builders gave you wrong advice. Unfortunately, what you have done is outside the exemptions even if you had a singed letter from your neighbor. A building with a 1m setback needs a building consent and most likely a resource consent. It will also need a fire rated wall where it is 1m to the boundary. Your only way to find out is to talk to the council. And be prepared for them to ask you to either remove it or move it. Please watch my last video when I talk about the rules for 30sqm exemption. As a property owner, you are responsible to make sure you are complying with the rules. If you are not sure, you should always ask your council. A builder is not qualified to give you this kind of advice.also, as you are using the term granny flat, I suppose that it has bathroom and maybe a kitchen? Any sort of plumbing will require a building consent.
@@3dmaker223 Thanks for that It probably looks that we have to move it BUT that moves it too close to our house and then also goes outside of "consent free" I believe the inspector does have discretion for certain exemptions in the "notice to fix" I wonder how much discretion they can exercise? There is no bathroom on toilet. In Australia they allow a 1m setback from side boundaries . If we have to move it so be it but its going to expensive and difficult.
@@tosha5052 it’s best to discuss it with the council sooner than later and ask about your options. You might be able to get a CoA, but definitely not 1m from the boundary. That needs a fire rated wall and it is very expensive.
@@3dmaker223 Just been looking at your videos and plans for sale, exactly what I'm after! I hope you're still doing your thing in a years time when I'm ready to build, Id love to work with you!
@@3dkiwi920 thanks! I started putting together cabin plans 3 years ago. I have plans of developing more sizes and options. Also, from next year there will be new rules for building granny flats under 60sqm without a building consent. Although they have not given the exact limits yet, but being designed by an lbp designer is one of the requirements. That will open up a lot of possibilities and it is very exciting. I’m a lbp designer and I hope to be able to develop a big library of plans for DIYers one day ☺️
@@3dmaker223 what would you charge for a home like this? I would also love to build my own home to save myself a bundle, what would you suggest? I am fairly handy/capable.
@@webslingernz If you want to build it as a home (including plumbing), a building consent is required. You might also need a resource consent depending on your property.

Hi Tony. Thanks for you comment. The 30sqm applies to the net area, not the gross area. It means the internal area should be under 30sqm. This can be confusing for some.

Plenty of information online and on RUclips on why you should not use a shipping container.
Nice work, thanks!

Yes, I do. But they are not down to every single screw. They are approximately accurate and done by myself, not a quantity surveyor.
@@3dmaker223 that’s okay it’s more than plan have you put any through the council before ?
