Florida Made Tiny Homes

Florida Made Tiny Homes operates from Orlando and serves the entire state of Florida, from Jacksonville to Miami to the Gulf Coast. The company brings more than 30 years of building experience and has completed hundreds of projects. Unlike prefab manufacturers that build units in a factory and truck them to your property, Florida Made builds on site, using concrete block construction. This approach means no transport constraints, no limited access problems on narrow lots or gated properties, and no need to crane a large structure over rooflines or power lines. The unit is built where it will live.

The company offers three model families: A-models (studio), B-models (one bedroom), and C-models (two bedroom). The studio A-model occupies 384 square feet with an open-concept living area, full bathroom, and finishes that are included in the price. The B-model line has eight floor plans ranging from 360 to 720 square feet, meaning you can choose a very compact one-bedroom or something with more breathing room. The C-model family offers five two-bedroom options from 535 to 1003 square feet, covering everything from a modest guest house to a genuine small home.

All units come with full turnkey construction and finishes. That means when you take possession, the ADU is ready to live in or rent out immediately. You do not need to hire an electrician separately, or choose flooring from a third party, or coordinate with an HVAC contractor. All of that is included and installed. You get an open-concept kitchen with all appliances included, quartz countertops, luxury vinyl flooring, French front entry doors, board and batten siding, a mini split heating and air system, and a lifetime composition shingle roof. The interior finishes are designed to appeal to tenants or guests. The exterior is designed to look residential and intentional, not utilitarian or temporary. These are not bare-bones shells or choices you make separately from other contractors. The price quoted is the finished unit. That certainty and simplicity appeals to owners who want to avoid the complexity of coordinating multiple subcontractors across months of construction.

Florida's climate is demanding on buildings. Heat, humidity, salt air (in coastal areas), occasional hurricanes, and intense UV from year-round sun all test materials and construction. Wood-frame homes can absorb moisture and support mold growth in Florida's humidity. Vinyl siding fades and becomes brittle. Roofing materials degrade faster than in drier climates. Material selection and construction quality are critical if a structure is to age well and remain cost-effective to own.

Florida Made has operated in this environment for over three decades, so the firm knows which products hold up and which shortcuts create problems that surface in a few years. Their emphasis on concrete block construction is practical for the climate: concrete doesn't rot, absorb moisture, or degrade the way wood-frame structures can in Florida humidity. The block also provides thermal mass, which helps moderate indoor temperature swings and reduces HVAC load. The mini split systems they standard (wall-mounted heat pumps) are efficient in both cooling and heating, important when a unit might be occupied year-round or only seasonally. A mini split avoids the ductwork that would consume floor space in a small unit and is easier to install in existing structures where running new ducts would be complicated.

Pricing is not listed on the website. The company directs customers to request a free property analysis and estimate. This is common among regional builders who know that costs vary significantly by site conditions, local labor rates, and the specific market within Florida. Orlando-area pricing may differ from Miami-area pricing or a small town in the Panhandle. Labor costs in South Florida, where it's competitive and expensive, are higher than in less built-up areas. Land values affect the economics of your particular project. A free consultation is the practical way to get a number that actually applies to your property and your location, rather than a quote that proves inaccurate before work starts.

The site-built approach means the permitting and approvals process is entirely local. Florida has uniform statewide building codes, but local governments still exercise discretion around setbacks, floor area ratios, parking requirements, and design review. Jacksonville may allow ADUs by right in certain zoning districts. Miami Beach may require Design Review Board approval. Tampa may have restrictions on rental ADUs. A Naples HOA may prohibit them entirely, despite city code allowing them. Florida Made's experience across the state, serving Jacksonville, Tampa, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Naples, and many smaller communities, means they've navigated those local variations repeatedly. They can guide you through what your specific city or county will require, what approvals you need, and what timeline to expect. That local knowledge is a significant advantage over a prefab manufacturer shipping to a generic address.

The company also offers custom ADUs designed by their in-house team. If none of the standard models fit your property or your needs, you can commission a design. Custom work will take longer and cost more than choosing an off-the-shelf model, but it may be the right answer if your site is unusual or your requirements are specific.

Beyond ADUs, Florida Made Tiny Homes builds single-family homes and pool houses. The pool house option is worth noting if you have a large property and want to add amenity space that also adds value. These structures use the same building methods and material standards as the ADUs.

The company holds Florida contractor license CGC1535516, which is the state's licensing designation for general contractors. That license is publicly verifiable and means the firm has passed financial and legal screening, completed required bonding, and committed to upholding Florida's construction standards. It also means you have recourse through the state's contractor licensing board if something goes seriously wrong.

Contact information is (407) 906-0982 or hello@floridamadetinyhomes.com. The headquarters is in Orlando, which gives the company a central location for serving statewide. The website indicates they are preparing to open a showroom, which would allow potential customers to see and walk through a completed unit in person. That would be valuable for anyone trying to visualize a 384-square-foot studio or a 720-square-foot one-bedroom.

Florida Made Tiny Homes is the right builder if you're anywhere in Florida, want a straightforward ADU, and prefer not to manage complex customization or an owner-builder process. The standardized models keep costs and timelines predictable. The site-built approach means no delivery logistics or access constraints. The 30-plus-year track record and state licensing give you confidence the firm will still be around to honor a warranty. The inclusion of finishes and appliances means you know what you're getting, with no surprise upgrade costs at the end.

The main limitation is that you're choosing from existing models or commissioning a custom design, rather than working with an architect to create something entirely bespoke. For most homeowners, that is not a real constraint. The B and C-model ranges are broad enough to fit most properties and most needs. For someone whose site or vision is truly unusual, Florida Made's custom option exists, though it will carry a longer timeline and higher cost than an off-the-shelf model.

The showroom planned for Orlando would be a valuable resource if you want to walk through a completed unit before committing. Being able to see how a 384-square-foot studio actually feels, how the finishes perform, and how the layout functions is worth the trip if you're within driving distance. Until it opens, the company offers video tours or phone consultations to discuss options.

For Florida homeowners looking to add an accessory unit quickly, with predictable pricing and professional execution, Florida Made Tiny Homes has the scale, the experience, and the state contractor licensing to deliver. The firm's emphasis on site-built, block construction is particularly well-suited to Florida's climate and to properties where access or logistics would make transporting a prefab unit difficult. The standardized models keep costs and timelines predictable, and the full-finish-included approach means you take possession ready to occupy or lease. For owners prioritizing simplicity and reliability over bespoke design, this is a strong choice anywhere in the state.
