Tiny Houses Brisbane

Brisbane’s Premier Tiny House Builder

Brisbane’s sprawling suburbs – from the hills of the D’Aguilar Range to the bayside communities of Redland City – offer a huge range of sites for a tiny home. Whether you’re in an inner-ring suburb like West End or Paddington, or out on acreage in Samford or Pullenvale, LJM builds homes that work for the block, the climate, and your lifestyle.

Our Brisbane builds are designed with Queensland’s subtropical climate in mind: elevated decks for airflow, shaded outdoor living spaces, and materials selected for humidity and heat performance. We’re built local, and we build for here.

Benefits of Tiny Home Living

1. Affordable Housing Solution

Tiny homes in Brisbane offer a cost-effective alternative to traditional housing, with prices starting from $60,000 for a build-to-lock-up and $127,000 for a complete turnkey model. This affordability opens doors to homeownership in Brisbane’s competitive property market, with significantly lower ongoing costs for utilities and maintenance.

2. Sustainable Living

Our Brisbane tiny homes are designed with sustainability at their core. They require less energy to heat, cool and maintain, helping you minimise your environmental footprint while living comfortably in Queensland’s climate. Many of our designs can incorporate off-grid capabilities, reducing your environmental impact.

3. Mobility and Flexibility

A tiny house on wheels (THOW) allows you to relocate as needed. This flexibility is perfect for Brisbane residents who might want to experience different neighbourhoods, from the bustling inner city to peaceful suburban areas or even the scenic outskirts near Moreton Bay.

4. Minimalist Lifestyle

Embrace a simpler, more intentional way of living by focusing on what truly matters. Our thoughtfully designed tiny homes help Brisbane residents declutter their lives and create space for experiences rather than possessions.

5. Quality Craftsmanship

Every LJM tiny home is built with meticulous attention to detail using quality materials and advanced construction techniques. This ensures your tiny home is beautiful and durable enough to withstand Brisbane’s climate.

6. Customised Design

We work closely with you to create a tiny home that reflects your unique style and meets your specific needs. From bespoke floor plans to interior designs and modern fixtures, your Brisbane tiny home will be tailored to your lifestyle choice.

Tiny Home Living in Brisbane: Ideal Locations

Brisbane offers numerous ideal locations for tiny home living, each with its own unique advantages:

Bayside Living

Coastal suburbs such as Wynnum, Manly, and Redcliffe provide the perfect backdrop for tiny living, with beautiful water views and a relaxed atmosphere just a short drive from the city.

Frequently Asked Questions

Below, you’ll find answers to some of our most common inquiries. If you don’t see your question addressed here, please don’t hesitate to contact our customer support team. 

It depends on your block size, zoning, and the specific council. Brisbane City Council allows secondary dwellings under certain conditions, and the State Government’s 2023 planning reforms have opened up more options for secondary dwellings in Queensland. We can help you assess your block.
Our Brisbane builds start from around $95,000 and go up to $200,000+ for fully custom premium finishes. Delivery from our Queensland facility is typically straightforward and cost-effective compared to interstate deliveries.
Absolutely. We design for Queensland’s subtropical climate with elevated airflow, covered outdoor decks, insulation rated for heat, and materials chosen for long-term humidity performance.
Many of our Brisbane clients use their tiny homes as Airbnb or short-stay rentals on their acreage properties. Rules vary by council – we recommend checking with your local council or a town planner before listing.
Yes. We work with lending partners who specialise in alternative housing finance. Ask our team about options during your consultation.
What our clients have to say…

Joe Arneson and team at LJM built me my tiny house that I absolutely love living in. Joe was wonderful in accommodating my designs for my tiny as well as advising what would and would not work for me. The budget was set with no surprises at the end which was very reassuring. He’s really easy to communicate with and kept me informed at all stages, even though I was 1000 km away! Would highly recommend, and I’m even considering getting another one built by Joe and the team at LJM down the track!

Kirsten Hartshorne

Cannot rate LJM highly enough. Joe and the team were so fabulous to deal with. They built our tiny house while we were interstate so communication was critical and Joe and Vicki in particular excelled at this. The whole build experience was seamless and we are so happy with the quality of the build, the attention to detail is second to none. Exceptionally good value for a very high end product. Joe was with us every step of the way, including delivery and was very helpful and supportive when we were dealing with some challenges with our site. I would definitely recommend LJM! Thank you to Joe, Vicki and the team.

Michelle Scanlon

Thank you to Joe and the team at LJM, for going above and beyond in so many ways.You made the build process flow smoothly and with ease, within our timeframe and financial means.I value the guidance, advice and support that was provided throughout each step of the way through open and clear communication. You were able to see and understand my vision and bring it into my reality.

Ange

The team at LJM believe in service with a capital ‘S’ and it shows. Great companies have great people from the top down and LJM is an excellent example of how a customer focussed company truly should be. The attitude is beyond ‘can do’. It’s more ‘Let’s make it HAPPEN!”. Our Tiny was fully custom from the trampoline-style reading loft to the drop down trailer (ask Joe – I think he still has nightmares about it!) and nothing was too much. Everything was met with calm and interest in what we wanted.The experience was how building or creating anything should be. We had fun doing it and loved the experience.
We would do it again and we would use LJM exclusively.
