How much does a tiny home cost in Victoria?
The short answer
MicroHomes Urban models start from $88,000 including GST: the Urban One Bedroom is $149,000, and a two-module Urban Modular example is about $260,000. The total budget can be higher, because installation, services and site works vary by property. Ask for an itemised quote that separates the home from site costs.

The useful number is not only the price of the home. It is the amount required to have the home delivered, placed, connected and ready for the use you intend. That is why two buyers choosing the same model can end up with different total budgets.
Current MicroHomes starting prices
Prices as at 1 October 2026. All prices include GST.
| Model | Starting point | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|
| Urban Multispace | $88,000 inc GST | A home office, studio or consulting room. It has no plumbing. |
| Urban Studio | $144,100 inc GST | A self-contained 6.0 × 3.2m studio with a bathroom and laundry. |
| Urban One Bedroom | $149,000 inc GST, including delivery within Melbourne metro | A 9.0 × 3.2m home with a separate bedroom and living zone. |
| Urban Modular | About $260,000 inc GST as a worked example | Two modules joined into one home, starting from two 8.4m modules for 53m² inside. It is classified as a caravan and annexe, so it is always two modules. There is no standard Modular; each is quoted against its design. |
The Backyard Pod is a separate, fixed entry-level line, from $24,200 inc GST. Installation is quoted separately, job by job, on every model. These figures are a starting point, not a promise that every completed project will cost the same, so confirm the current price, inclusions and delivery basis in writing when you request a quote.
The six parts of a realistic total budget
- The home: model, length, layout, finishes, appliances and options.
- Delivery: distance, over-dimension route requirements, escorts and access constraints.
- Installation: positioning, levelling, supports, steps, deck and site coordination.
- Site works: clearing, drainage, earthworks, pads and access preparation.
- Services: power, water, wastewater, stormwater, data, gas alternatives and off-grid systems.
- Approvals and professional advice: council enquiries, any permits that apply to your property, surveyors, engineers or other reports.
The sixth line is the one buyers most often leave out. Which approvals apply depends on your council and zone, so ask before you price the rest — our Victorian council rules guide lists the questions.
What should be in a tiny-home quote?
- Model and external dimensions.
- Standard inclusions and every selected upgrade.
- What delivery area or allowance is included.
- Installation scope and exclusions.
- Registration and compliance documents.
- Service connection assumptions.
- Site works priced now versus provisional sums.
- Payment stages, build slot and expected delivery window.
- Any written warranty terms that apply, and the handover documents you will receive.
A quote that is silent on any of these is not wrong, but it is incomplete — ask for the missing line before you compare it with another.
Why site works vary
A flat suburban site with clear access is a different project from a steep rural block with soft ground, narrow gates and long service runs. Site photos, measurements and a route check turn unknowns into priced work. The 10cm low floor, from our in-house designed and manufactured Fold-Up Suspension, helps with the height of the finished entry, but it does not remove the need to assess the route and the final position. See the delivery and site access checklist.
Tiny home versus granny flat cost
A fixed granny flat and a movable MicroHome have different approval, construction and resale characteristics, and which one your council and zone allow on your property may decide the question before price does. Compare total installed cost, not headline prices. Also compare what you own at the end: a permanent improvement to the land, or a relocatable asset that can potentially be moved or sold separately. Our tiny home vs granny flat comparison goes through it, and for the wider Australian picture see how much a micro home costs.

Send us the address, the intended use, your preferred model, site photos and the approximate location of services. We’ll separate the known costs of the home from the items that need a site-specific quote, so you can make the decision with fewer surprises.
Before you rely on any of this: prices, inclusions and delivery terms change. Treat the figures above as a guide as at the date shown, not a quote, and confirm them in writing before you commit.
