FAQs
Common Questions
01. Can I see a finished Cueva before I commit to the process?
Yes. We have show homes in Lantzville (Vancouver Island) that you can tour by appointment. You’ll see the exact finishes, walk through the spaces, and talk to homeowners who’ve already gone through the process. We also host open houses through our realtor partners – just ask us for the next available date.
02. How do I know if a Cueva will fit on my property?
We start with a simple feasibility check. Share your address and a few photos of the proposed site. We’ll review zoning (does your municipality allow secondary suites or carriage houses?), setbacks, access for delivery, and availability of utilities. No cost, no commitment – just a clear yes/no before you do any formal drawings.
03. What happens during the initial consultation?
You get a free 30‑minute call with our team. We’ll talk about your vision, review your land and budget, and give you a preliminary timeline. If the site looks feasible, we’ll recommend a model (Solace or Ember) and outline the next steps – including what permits you’ll need and who handles them.
04. Who handles the building permit – me or Cueva?
Cueva or one of our trusted Partners manage the permit process with municipalities and regional districts on Vancouver Island. We provide complete engineered drawings, CSA certification documents, and spec packages. You’re still responsible for submitting to your local building department, but we guide you through every form and requirement.
05. What happens on delivery day?
A professional transport team delivers your completed home on a flatbed truck. A crane places the unit onto your prepared foundation. We coordinate all road permits, route planning, and site access. You don’t need to arrange anything – just ensure the site is clear and the foundation is ready.
