Most Gold Coast house blocks can take one. It depends on lot size, zoning, easements and overlays like flood or bushfire, which is exactly what our free feasibility check works out.
On the Gold Coast a secondary dwelling is generally up to 80 m² and sits attached to or close to your home, sharing the driveway. Every design on this page is made to fit within that.
Usually not. We build up on posts so the slope or flood level sits underneath, and the space below becomes parking or storage instead of costly earthworks.
Every granny flat in Queensland needs building approval through a certifier. Designs that meet the planning rules can often avoid a full development application. We manage all of it in Stage 1.
Yes. Since 2022 a compliant Queensland granny flat can be rented to anyone, not just family. We design for the fire and sound separation that renting needs.
Every block and design is different, so we price each project individually. You get a fixed build price once plans are approved, so there are no surprises.
No builder can give an honest fixed price without approved plans and engineering. Doing Stage 1 first means your build quote is accurate from day one.
Yes. The layouts and colours on this page are starting points. Every plan can be flipped, stretched or reworked, and you can pick any colours and finishes.
It depends on the site and design. We give you a realistic timeline for approvals and the build at the site visit.
We built this granny flat for a Gold Coast family, right beside their main home. It was designed as a single-storey unit, but once we were on site we could see there was ample space underneath, so we took it up to two storeys.
Then we added a boardwalk straight from the main house to the upper level, so getting between the two is a few easy steps.
