Tiny Houses according to the Building Code (BBL): Tiny.nl stands for quality and regulation

At Tiny.nl, we understand how important it is that your tiny house not only meets your needs but also all legal requirements. Whether you opt for temporary or permanent occupancy, or want to use a tiny house for lodging purposes, we will build your tiny house in accordance with the Building Code (now BBL) if you wish. However, it is good to know that building a tiny house according to the BBL requires more attention and customisation than a standard tiny house.

Standard tiny houses: smart and sustainable

Our standard tiny houses are designed with quality and comfort in mind. They are superbly insulated, sustainably built, and offer all the basic amenities you need. However, these houses are not designed as standard to fully comply with the Building Works Decree (BBL), which sets stricter requirements in areas such as fire safety, structural strength and accessibility.

For many uses, such as recreational use or temporary residence, a standard tiny house is more than adequate. But if you want a tiny house that meets all BBL requirements, for example for permanent habitation or lodging use, we can realise this on request.

Tiny houses according to BBL: customisation on request

Building a tiny house according to the BBL requires extra attention and expertise. This includes:

• Adjustments in design and construction: The house must meet stricter requirements for safety, health and sustainability. These include fire-resistant materials, better sound insulation, and additional amenities.
• Technical installations: BBL requirements often prescribe specific facilities, such as ventilation systems and plumbing systems suitable for permanent residence.
• Licences and inspections: Complying with the BBL eases the process of permit applications, but it also involves more paperwork and coordination with the municipality.

Why not by default?

The extra requirements and complexity make a BBL-compliant tiny house more expensive and time-intensive to build. Therefore, we offer this as a customisation option on request. This gives you the flexibility to choose what best suits your budget and needs. For people who do not need permanent habitation or accommodation, a standard tiny house is often a more practical and economical choice.
