Our Story
Simon Joiner was following his passion when he entered the modular building and construction industry. In starting Tiny Homes Perth, Simon has pursued this passion further, combining his knowledge of the home building industry with an added twist, to provide "small homes, BIG ideas".
Our Team
Tiny Homes Perth is proud to promote a strong family culture; supporting one another by being equal to the task. It is this philosophy which allows us at Tiny Homes Perth to work seamlessly with our clients.
Owner / Dealer Principal
From hands on fabrication to administration and management, Simon Joiner (General Manager / Owner) knows how to support a team. He has the ability to multi-task, whether it's playing a supportive role or seeing a task through to completion.
Upon completion of his apprenticeship at the age of 21, Simon was offered the supportive role of Foreman. This entailed the preparation of work while appreciating that the older and more experienced members of the team completed the tasks.
Starting his own business at 23 (Simon's Metal Shop), Simon specialised in Wrought Iron Works, however it was not long before he realised that he wanted more from his career.
Simon accepted a role with TR Homes as an Estimator, and it was over the next 6 years that he worked his way up to Manager, becoming General Manager under the ABN Group banner in 2006. With over 50 employees, TR Homes provides modular housing throughout the state of Western Australia, and is the leader in its industry.
With a growing family, a work-home balance was soon desired, so Simon took on several other positions. He was involved in a 55-home development in Newman followed by a supportive role in Malaysia before embarking on the supportive role of Operations Manager with the WBS Group. Over the next 2 years Simon held the position of General Manager at WBS Homes.
Throughout the 35 years of his career, Simon has fabricated, administered and managed multiple businesses and positions. It is with this experience, together with a passion for the modular building industry and a desire to maintain the Great Australian Dream, that Simon founded Tiny Homes Perth.

The Tiny Home Evolution
A devastating event can change the future. The Tiny Home Evolution was founded by a group of Americans supporting those who lost their homes in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina (2005), giving them a place to call home.
Further to the global financial crisis (2007, 2008), America again found hope and inspiration in using Tiny Homes to accommodate those who could not afford a conventional home.
Beyond these events, Tiny Homes have been used throughout the world, not only as a means of affordable living, but as weekenders, granny or teenage flats, art studios, ‘glamping’ or farm accommodation.
Driven by his passion for the Tiny Homes culture, Simon Joiner (Founder / Principal) established Tiny Homes Perth, where he uses his experience of over 35 years in fabrication and the modular homes industry to support this new and affordable housing market.
An array of materials are used in the construction of a Tiny Home. At Tiny Homes Perth all elements of the homes are built on our premises. Construction of the trailer chassis is based on the weight of the building to allow ease of towing, while the frame is constructed of steel to ensure marriage to the chassis.
Tiny Homes Perth have designed their own feature cladding, 'Inspire clad'. This contemporary cladding can be fitted vertically, horizontally or even diagonally. The use of Colorbond(c) incorporates great colours and a prolongs the life span of a Tiny Home.
