What rocky mountain tiny houses does

Rocky Mountain Tiny Houses (RMTH) is a privately-held, custom tiny house builder founded in 2013 by Greg Parham and operated from a single shop in Durango, Colorado. The company designs and builds made-to-order tiny houses on wheeled trailers, with no stock units maintained and a historical 4–18 month waitlist that is presently sold out through September 2026. Per-unit pricing spans approximately $38k for compact 14' builds to over $140k for large 10x32 and signature configurations; the company's flagship San Juan model exceeds $100k in materials and labor alone.

RMTH's technical foundation centers on Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) sourced from Porter SIPs, CNC-cut to support complex curved and angled geometries (notably the San Juan's curved roof and 8'4"-wide vee-nose chassis). Differentiated engineering features include a custom elevator bed built from garage-door mechanical components, gooseneck trailer configurations up to 29', 10x40 large-format builds, and integrated off-grid systems (solar arrays up to 1,800+ watts, freshwater/greywater tanks, cisterns, composting toilets, Lunos heat-recovery ventilation). The business holds Colorado state Tiny Home Manufacturer certification (achieved March 2024, first in the state), offers NOAH certification, and is pursuing ANSI 119.5 / RV accreditation through Pacific West Associates.

The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer and build-to-order. Customers contact the company by email (no functioning phone line) for an initial consultation, after which custom plans are developed; typical payment is 25% deposit, 25% mid-build, 25% at completion. Delivery is handled via freight carriers to anywhere in the lower 48 states, with the majority of builds shipped out of Colorado to destinations including Wyoming, New Mexico, Utah, Arizona, Idaho, Minnesota, Rhode Island, California, and Nevada. Revenue streams are predominantly one-time project sales of custom builds, supplemented by shell builds (approximately 90% complete), limited consulting services, and custom plan design. Customer segments span individual homeowners (primary residences, ADUs, mother-in-law suites, off-grid getaways), employer/organizational housing (firefighter units), and one-off government/institutional projects (City of Aspen carpool kiosk). Marketing is digital-first and organic: a content-rich website, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, YouTube, and earned media including Tiny House Magazine's Builder of the Month (Issue 32).
