Case Study
How We Helped Kinstruct Tiny Homes Go From Failed Franchise Buyers To The Fastest Growing Tiny Home Builder In New Hampshire
From Losing Their Nest Egg To Closing 17 Tiny Home Builds And Generating $3.63 Million In Revenue In 12 Months
When Kinstruct Tiny Homes first came to us, they weren’t a “tiny home company” at all.
They were a family who had built an ADU for their mother-in-law, realized how many other families needed the same solution, and decided to buy into a franchise promising a turnkey business model.
But when the franchise collapsed, they were left with:
- No brand
- No drawings
- No marketing
- No support
- No lead flow
- And a very real 90-day runway before their savings dried up
They had invested their nest egg into what looked like a solid financial move… only to find themselves holding the bag.
This is the story of how they went independent, launched Kinstruct Tiny Homes, and became the fastest-growing ADU builder in New Hampshire.
The Breaking Point: When the Franchise Failed Overnight
Kinstruct didn’t “choose” to go independent.
They were forced into it.
The franchise they invested in collapsed and disappeared, leaving them with:
- Zero systems
- Zero brand assets
- Zero support
- Zero marketing
- And zero plan B
They had experience in construction and real estate… but that wasn’t enough to magically create:
- A brand
- A sales process
- A website
- An offer
- Lead generation
- A pipeline
- Or a reputation
They were staring down the barrel of losing everything.
The biggest fear?
That Team Mayhem wouldn’t be able to replicate what the franchise had promised but never delivered.
The Strategy: Build Their Entire Company From Scratch In 30 Days
Kinstruct came to us with a simple ask:
“We need leads. We need appointments. We need a real brand.
And we have 90 days before we’re out of cash.”
So we built everything from the ground up.
