From $224kHow it works
One team from feasibility to handover.
Site check
We review access, slope, drainage, services, trees, privacy, and likely consent pathway.
Concept and quote
You receive a concept plan, specification, fixed-price build scope, and exclusions list.
Consent package
Our design team prepares drawings, engineering inputs, and council documentation.
Build and connect
Foundations, services, craned or site-built structure, fit-out, inspections, and handover.
Transparent scope
Know what is included before you commit.
Every quote separates the dwelling, site works, service connections, consent costs, and optional upgrades. That protects your budget and avoids vague square-metre pricing.

- Electrical, lighting, flooring, painting, and final clean
Built for everyday living
Quiet, warm, private, and easy to maintain.
A good granny flat needs more than a bed and a bathroom. We design for morning sun, storage, acoustic comfort, accessible paths, durable surfaces, and a clear relationship between the main house and the new dwelling.
