project viability report.
The report is yours for a fixed cost of $500—and if you move forward with Arc, that amount comes off your final price.
Either way, you’ll walk away with a detailed blueprint for your project that saves you time, money, and uncertainty.

Expert Assesement
We’ll review your property, local planning rules, servicing options and any red flags before providing tailored recommendations to help you make the best decision for moving forward.
Detailed site analysis andplanning regulations
We take a close look at the specifics of your site—its shape, size, topography, zoning, and local council requirements—to identify any planning constraints or development opportunities. This includes checking district plans, building setbacks, and any overlays that could affect your build. Our goal is to ensure you’re across the regulations before you commit, helping avoid costly surprises down the track.

Assessment of servicing and utility connections
We’ll assess how your site can connect to essential services like power, water, wastewater, and stormwater systems. If you’re off-grid or semi-rural, we’ll explore viable alternatives such as rainwater collection, composting toilets, or solar setups. This step ensures your home is not only legally compliant, but also functional and comfortable from day one.
Preliminary layout and siting advice
Using the unique characteristics of your property, we’ll recommend the most effective position and orientation for your tiny home. This includes considering sun exposure, privacy, views, wind direction, and access. We’ll also offer initial guidance on layout options that align with your lifestyle and long-term goals—whether you’re after a compact family setup, a rental unit, or a peaceful retreat.
Site access and delivery options
Getting a tiny home onto your site isn’t always straightforward. We’ll evaluate things like road width, turning circles, driveway slope, and ground conditions to flag any potential delivery challenges early. If needed, we’ll suggest modifications or alternative approaches to ensure a smooth and safe delivery on install day.
Costs and timelines
We’ll provide you with an indicative cost breakdown and estimated project timeline based on your location, design preferences, and site requirements. This includes everything from pre-construction planning to build, delivery, and setup. Having a clear picture of the financial and time commitments upfront allows you to make informed decisions and plan with confidence.
Frequently Asked Questions
Once your order is confirmed, our team will personally reach out to gather any details we need. From there, we begin a meticulous assessment of your site and project vision. Within 7 business days, you’ll receive a beautifully presented, in-depth report that offers clarity, direction, and confidence to move forward.
Your report will be uploaded to myArc—your personalised project dashboard—where you can access it anytime, along with any future updates or documents. You'll also have the option to schedule a one-on-one video call with our lead project manager to walk through the findings, ask questions, and discuss your next steps. It’s all designed to ensure you feel fully informed and supported every step of the way.
While the Project Viability Report isn’t a formal consent application, it provides a strong foundation for one. It outlines key planning considerations, constraints, and opportunities—giving you a clear understanding of what’s needed to proceed. Many clients use this report to guide their full planning and consent journey with us.
That’s perfectly fine. If you’re still exploring, we can assess multiple options or provide a framework to help you evaluate potential properties. This report can be tailored to guide your search and help you identify sites with the highest potential for success.
‘A quote tells you how much something might cost. A Project Viability Report tells you whether your project can actually be done—where, how, and under what conditions.
Rather than offering a simple price, this report provides a strategic foundation: it explores regulatory constraints, servicing requirements, build options, and potential costs in the context of your site. It’s tailored, thorough, and designed to uncover both risks and opportunities before you commit to design or construction.
It’s not just about numbers—it’s about clarity, foresight, and setting your project up for long-term success.
If we find that your current concept isn’t feasible, you’ll still receive a comprehensive, professional report outlining the reasons—and more importantly, alternative pathways forward. Many clients discover new opportunities through this process. Either way, you’ll be equipped with clarity and direction, not uncertainty.
