🧭 THINKING ABOUT BUILDING A GRANNY FLAT? HERE’S HOW WE WORK
Ready to Begin Your Project?
Every site is different—so we start by understanding your needs, your location, and your goals. Whether you're looking to build a granny flat for family, rental, or personal use, we guide you through a streamlined, well-coordinated process from concept to approval.
1. Share Your Site & Expectations
Get in touch with your property address and a quick summary of what you’re looking for—whether it’s early ideas or specific granny flat designs you have in mind.
To better assess your site, it helps if you include:
- Section 10.7 Planning Certificate
- DBYD (Dial Before You Dig) info
- Survey, concept sketches, or existing plans, etc.
If you don't have any of these, it's still fine.
2. Site Review & Quotation
We review your site’s planning rules, overlays, and physical constraints (like slope, easements, or access) to determine the best way to build a granny flat on your property.
You’ll receive:
- A competitive quote
- Guidance on whether DA or CDC is the more suitable approval pathway
3. Design Development
Once we begin, we’ll create a tailored architectural design that suits your site, your lifestyle, and your compliance requirements.
We don’t use off-the-shelf templates—every granny flat we design is unique and thoughtfully resolved, whether it’s a compact studio or part of our 2-bedroom granny flat plans.
4. Documentation & Approval Coordination
We directly provide:
- Architectural plans & elevations
- Shadow diagrams
- Statement of Environmental Effects (SEE)
We also coordinate with trusted consultants to help you obtain additional documents where needed, such as:
- Stormwater drainage plans
- Bushfire (BAL) reports
- Flood hazard assessments
All documents are prepared to support your granny flat designs and ensure everything is aligned and ready for submission—whether through council (DA) or a private certifier (CDC).
5. (Optional) Bill of Materials
Following the completion of architectural and engineering documentation, we can also prepare a Bill of Materials—giving you a clear understanding of the potential build cost before approaching builders.
