What's the Kit?

A FirstDay Cottage "kit" is more of a bundle of materials which include custom plans, a thorough instruction book and dedicated support from our staff.

FirstDay Cottages use only the highest quality materials, which is why our houses contain no plywood or sheetrock.  FirstDay prides itself on the quality of our wood, which is necessary to give each house its beautiful all wood interior and make them extremely solid structurally.
