Who is iScout
What We Provide
Founded by the former managing director of a town planning consultancy, iScout helps people find the simplest way to achieve their Tiny Home dreams.
Personalised Guidance
iScout will examine the property virtually (using available aerial photography) and provide you with personalised steps (including who you need to engage and when) to build a permanent tiny home on the property you have in mind.
Documented Requirements
You will also receive relevant links to the planning scheme, which sets out what you need to comply with, and a property report. In addition, the guide sets out what your builder will need to comply with (building heights, eaves, setbacks etc). And what questions to ask to make sure they will be able to deliver a build that complies.
A Clear Path Forward
Find out which Permits (if any) you'll need and if you have room to meet Garden Area requirements and the necessary Setbacks plus a Shopping Checklist to help you choose a Compliant Design.
