My RPE has plans for one of these cabins. The drawings are quite detailed, in metric, and some parts in a foreign language. Should be an interesting review.

Probably should prepare for a "redline on the plans" or a slight delay on your review.

No mention of toilets. No exterior door hardware.

It'll be awesome when it needs a 200A service in 2024 for all of the electrification crap...

The structural calculations should be interesting. It might be tough to meet new insulation requirements.

Does the loft sleeping area require an EERO?

If they are small, they might meet "low energy" and get an envelope pass....

There is something in the tiny home section on that...When is it a bunk bed vs. a loft?...That kind of logic....

Ha ha ha! Steveray used “logic” and “tiny home” in the same sentence.

This is 2021....I think they made it easier with "sleeping lofts" in 2024....
