Small Granny Flats Builders In Sydney

Build The Granny Flat Of Your Dreams

Contrary to the name, these small houses aren’t just for the elderly!

Sitting independently of the main house, granny flats can be used for a plethora of reasons, from family visits, transitional living and additional rental income.

The benefits of building a Granny Flat

From monetary advantages to lifestyle changes, there are so many benefits to a granny flat!

Save on space and cost

Granny flats can be a great investment opportunity without buying a separate block of land.

As a secondary dwelling, these can give you more room without having to renovate your existing home.

Increased property value

Due to their versatility, a legally compliant granny flat will generally do wonders for your property value.

Appealing to a wide range of lifestyles, it’s no wonder homeowners are starting to build them.

Flexible living options

When you build a granny flat on your property, you have the freedom to have guests or tenants living there - or you could even live there yourself!

Granny flats can be a viable option for downsizers, as they won’t have the stress of selling their current home and buying a new one.

What to consider when building a Small Granny Flat

Before you jump into constructing your granny flat, here are some of the main things to look out for.

Zoning and building regulations

Granny flats are regulated buildings and so there are certain regulations you need to abide by, such as minimum land sizes and maximum floor areas (we’ll get into the nitty-gritty numbers in our FAQs below)!

Costs and budgeting

As with any project, it’s worth considering your budget before beginning.

Granny flats can be as basic or as luxurious as you wish.

The number of bedrooms, the materials used and the finishes can all have an impact on the overall cost.

Energy efficiency and sustainability

One of the biggest perks of having a granny flat is including all the eco-friendly features you may not have in the main house.

From skylights and large windows for loads of natural light to double-glazed windows and solar panels, you can make your granny flat as sustainable as you’d like!

Maximising the space of your interior

While it can be tempting to go full maximalist, with granny flats, often less is more.

Smaller pieces of furniture here can make a big difference!

Creating a functional interior

With a small floor plan, you’ll want everything in the home to have a purpose (or two).

Think hidden storage compartments, kitchen benches doubling as dining areas and study nooks along spare walls.

Choosing the right Granny Flat design

Not all granny flats need to look the same! These are some of our favourite styles…

Modern and minimalist

If there was ever a time to lean into the minimalist trend, now’s it.

Clean, sleek lines and minimal furniture and decor complement smaller spaces and can even make them feel larger.

Rustic and cozy

Celebrate natural hues and materials with a rustic and cozy granny flat. Have fun with throw pillows, cowhide rugs and earthy tones.

Ocean-inspired

Whether you live near the ocean or just feel relaxed thinking about it, beach homes can be a great inspiration!

Imagine white walls and finishes, wrinkled linen and weathered wood and smell the ocean air.
