Flexible Living Options
Granny flats are versatile — ideal for housing family members, creating a guest retreat, or generating rental income. Our custom designs ensure your flat works for today’s needs and tomorrow’s opportunities.
Functional Designs That Add Value
Granny flats are a smart investment when designed well. We prepare builder-ready plans that are compliant with local council requirements, making the approval process smoother while ensuring your design works with your property’s layout.
We also use 3D visualisations and CAD drafting tools so you can see exactly how your granny flat will look before construction begins. This helps refine details early, avoids costly changes later, and gives you peace of mind. Call us today on 0438 408 123 to start designing your granny flat with confidence.
Do I need council approval for a granny flat?
Yes, approvals are essential for almost every granny flat in NSW. Councils assess compliance with building codes, site coverage, setbacks, and maximum floor area. Having professional plans significantly increases your chances of smooth approval because every detail has already been considered. A good design addresses not only regulations but also site-specific factors like slope, drainage, and access.
How big can a granny flat be in NSW?
In most cases, granny flats in NSW are limited to 60 square metres of internal floor space, but exact rules vary between councils. It’s important to check local guidelines before you start. A building designer can help interpret these rules and create a design that maximises available space while remaining fully compliant. Thoughtful design can make even a compact footprint feel spacious and functional.
Are granny flats a good investment?
Yes, granny flats are increasingly popular because they add long-term value and flexibility. They can be rented out to generate steady income, used to accommodate family members, or repurposed as home offices or guest suites. In many areas, properties with approved granny flats sell faster and at higher prices, making them a sound financial decision as well as a practical one.
Can granny flats be two storeys?
Some councils allow two-storey granny flats, but most restrict them to single storey. Where permitted, double-level flats may be subject to stricter height limits, setbacks, and overshadowing rules. Designing with professional guidance ensures your plans comply with regulations while still achieving the extra space you want.
