Zip Board

*Not my house.

My dad recommended this for the walls early in the build. Basically it includes the house wrap with the sheathing so you don't need to wrap the house in Tyvek. Turns out, many people are going this route for tiny houses.

Pricing out plywood + Tyvek compared to the Zip System, they were very close in cost. We estimated that we will use 20, 7/16"- 4x8 sheets.
