Tiny Prefab eBook by Michael Janzen

Michael Janzen of Tiny House Design just introduced a 65 page house plan ebook. It’s called Tiny Prefab, A Do-It-Yourself Prefab Building System and contains the plans and instructions for creating tiny prefab structures that are easy to build from common building materials. The book is a bit of a hybrid between a set of plans and instructions for building and assembling a panelized prefab tiny house. A wide variety of sizes of buildings can be built but the roof plans in the ebook are designed for an 8-foot deep tiny house. The smallest size building is 8’ by 8’.  If more space is desired it’s length can be increased by increments of 4 feet so if you want a structure that is 8′ by 20′ this DIY prefab system will work fine. Below are small screen shots of all the pages in the ebook so you can get a good idea of what is included before you buy.

I’ve had the opportunity to look this book over and I highly recommend it, as it is very detailed and just about anyone should be able to follow these plans and build this structure. The price is $27, so he has priced it to be affordable for everyone. Visit Michael’s blog to purchase your copy.

    Sounds intriguing and would love to see photos of a finished structure. Is the blog link correct?

      Yes, the link is correct and at this point there is no finished product to show. Hopefully in the near future as the plans have just been introduced…Kent

  2. Seems to me there could be a market out there for a tiny house that could be assembled using only IKEA type tools and methods. Tedious but doable by the average person that can put together a Billy bookcase. Or is there something like that already?
