Tiny Home Permitting & Design Services - Gig Harbor, WA

Your Mini Home, Built on a Real Strategy

The Dream

A life with less stuff and more freedom. Financial independence. A beautifully designed, minimalist space that you can place on your land. A simpler, more intentional way of living.

The Fear

"Where am I legally allowed to put this? Does my tiny home need a foundation? What's the difference between a park model and a THOW? The county regulations are so confusing—I don't know where to start or if I'll even get a permit."

We Are Your Foundation Shepherds.

Anyone can design a mini house. A Foundation Shepherd gives you a strategy. We are experts in navigating the complex, often-confusing local codes for tiny homes—whether on a permanent foundation or on wheels. From day one, we anchor your vision to the non-negotiable realities of your land, your budget, and Gig Harbor's specific zoning requirements. We don't let you design a home you can't get approved.

Our Three-Step Path from Idea to Approval

1. THE VISION & VIABILITY SESSION

We start by understanding your tiny living goals. We then perform a preliminary code and zoning analysis on your property for your specific type of tiny home. We define a clear, buildable envelope and a legal path forward for your vision. No fantasy floor plans, only actionable possibilities.

2. THE FRAMEWORK DRAFT

Using the viability data, we create the initial architectural drafts for your mini home. We collaborate to refine the layout and aesthetic within the safe, pre-approved framework that meets all building, safety, and land-use requirements.

3. THE CODE-FLUENT BLUEPRINT & PRINTING

Once the design is locked, we engineer the final construction documents. This is the Code-Fluent Blueprint package—a complete set of plans designed for swift city approval. This service includes professional, large-format printing of your final plans, providing you with all the permit-ready copies required for submission.
