Access, foundations and services are what decide whether delivery day runs smoothly. Here is what to have sorted before the truck leaves the yard.

The truck has to physically reach the placement zone. Overhead trees, narrow gates and tight corners all need a real look.
Screwpiles or piers, concrete or skids — the right answer depends on slope, soil and how long the home stays put.
Power, water and wastewater are the practical questions worth answering upfront, not on delivery day.
Services, setbacks and local interpretation continue to shape what is sensible to build.
Site preparation is the part of a tiny home project that decides whether delivery day is calm or expensive. None of it is complicated, but almost all of it has to happen before the truck leaves the yard.
Before anything else, walk the route the truck will take. A transportable home is wide, tall and heavy, and the constraint is almost never the site itself — it is the last hundred metres.
There is no single right answer. The decision comes down to slope, soil and how permanent the placement is.
Bringing power, water and wastewater to roughly the right spot before delivery saves the most time overall. Mark the connection points clearly so the placement crew can position accurately the first time.
We had the piles in and the water stubbed out a fortnight early. The home was on and connected the same afternoon. Josie & Roy · Warkworth
We had the piles in and the water stubbed out a fortnight early. The home was on and connected the same afternoon.
A short list, and it is the same list every time: clear access, a level and cured foundation, marked service points, and someone on site who can make a decision.
No. Small variations are handled by the foundation system. Significant slope is worth discussing early, because it changes the pile design and the cost.
Sometimes. Where the truck can reverse into position we place directly. Where access is restricted, a crane or hiab lift is used, and that is priced separately.
Aim to have foundations and service points ready two weeks before delivery. That leaves room for weather without moving the delivery date.
