Based out of Albuquerque, New Mexico, Martinez Casitas LLC is a licensed, insured, and bonded tiny house builder serving clients across Albuquerque and Santa Fe. They specialize in crafting custom tiny houses and casitas that blend functionality, creativity, and sustainable design.

Their team of professional in-house designers collaborates closely with clients to create detailed 3D design plans and models.

Some level of customization is involved in every project they undertake.
What They Build and How They Build It
Martinez Casitas LLC constructs tiny houses on wheels as well as tiny homes designed for placement on a permanent concrete foundation. Their standard builds typically measure between 24ft and 40ft in length, 8.5ft in width, and 13.5ft in height, with an average weight of around 20,000 lbs. All tiny home vehicles are licensed and registered to meet US DOT size and weight standards for road travel.
They use a wide range of lightweight, high-quality building materials, with a preference for locally sourced materials made in the USA. Construction takes place in their Albuquerque workshop, and clients are welcome to schedule appointments to visit and review build progress at each stage.
Their typical turnaround time is approximately four months, with an estimated completion date specified in each custom build contract. Builds can be delivered as complete units or offered in two completion stages, giving DIY-minded clients the option to finish certain elements themselves on a solid foundation.
Pricing varies depending on design and specifications. On average, a 24ft tiny house costs between $82,000 and $130,000. Fixed pricing is included in all contracts, and payments follow a structured progress system:
- 30% deposit upon signing the contract
- Two milestone payments of 30% each based on build progress
- Final payment of 10% upon project completion before delivery or pickup
