“Glad to have people like Fred who are obsessive about detail and optimisation also have a tenacious scientific mind, so I can benefit from all this incredible content!! I would not have stood a chance. It was well organised, engaging, excellent detail feeling very grateful for the info and support. Feel very prepared now. So practical.”
~Claire Wiglesworth. Nurse and Strength Trainer. May 2025

“Attending the tiny home workshop with Fred’s Tiny Homes was an incredibly valuable experience. Fred’s deep knowledge, passion and genuine commitment to ethical building really stood out. He took the time to explain every aspect of the tiny home journey-from design to legal considerations and practical building tips…making complex topics easy to understand.
I walked away feeling informed and much more confident about pursuing my own tiny home business. I highly recommend Fred’s workshops to anyone considering this lifestyle change, even if you are not going to attempt the build, you need this knowledge.”
~Jason O’Neill. Builder. May 2025

“Soooo…. Much information. A lot of this (building info) was very new to me, so being able to go into the Online Course now and revisit the information will be great. Fred is a terrific educator also able to make difficult concepts easy to understand. Thanks so much.”
~Cait Steiner. Nurse / Midwife. May 2025

“Fred is passionate about tiny house building, and that's infectious. This course has really helped me clarify what I would like to build. At a time when buying a full sized house is out of reach… I'm excited and feeling empowered. There's a lot of info online… And also a lot of mixed messages! I wanted to attend a workshop with someone who had a lot of experience and ethics.”
~Donna Matthews. May 2025

“1) Good pace. 2) Empowering to get a better (considered) solution to buy/build a tiny house on wheels. 3) Contacts e.g. I feel the builder in attendance who subscribed to Fred's techniques could possibly build me my tiny house on wheels - great networking opportunity and learnings. 4) “Best in class” products &amp; war stories on what works from other participants.”
~Xavier Corray. IT Support. May 2025
