What are Granny Flats?

  • What are Granny Flats?

    Whether you’re looking to create space for a family member, a friend, or a caretaker; or simply want to generate some additional rental income— building a granny flat could be the cheapest and easiest way to achieve these goals. In this guide, learn the meaning of the term "granny flat" and discover what planning and costs to expect when building one of these units on your property. 

  • What is a Granny Flat?

    Although there's not a universally-accepted definition for a granny flat, a common definition could read like this: A complete home for at least one person, including a place to sleep/live, a kitchen, and sanitation facilities.

    Granny flats come in all sizes. Sometimes, a granny flat might be a simple garage conversion. Other times, it might be a brand new structure detached from the main building, created from scratch.  State and local governments have varying rules and processes, so it is important to understand the regulations in your area.

  • The Benefits of Building a Granny Flat

    These units are also cost-effective, as they don’t require you to purchase additional land or build out major infrastructure.

    Finally, we can’t forget the environmental benefits. These units are typically smaller than traditional single-family homes. This reduced size translates to lower material usage when constructing (smaller physical footprint), and greater efficiency when heating your ADUs. This allows you to use less energy over time. If you’re looking for more sustainable housing options, ADUs are certainly a step in the right direction.

  • Building a Granny Flat is More Achievable Than You Think

    Granny flat construction is booming right now, and for good reason. Homeowners across the country are looking to create additional space or generate rental income by taking advantage of recently-relaxed granny flat regulations. 

    One of the greatest challenges homeowners face when wanting to build a granny flat is figuring out what can be built on their property in the first place, followed by needing to understand the required processes to be successful.

I have used Granny Flats and they are amazing. I am so impressed with how quickly the service team was able to carry out my order, from designing it all up in CAD software through selecting materials for construction! Highly recommend them if you want something special made just right - this time around will be tough without these guys by our sides.

We recently built a granny flat with Granny Flats and we're very satisfied. The design process was easy, the approval time minimal ,and all our concerns were quickly solved! We couldn't be happier about how smoothly this project went - thanks in part to their site supervisor Steven who took care of us like family.

We recently built a granny flat with and had the time of our lives! They offered quality inclusions that were second to none. Steve was taking lead throughout, keeping us informed every step of the way while always making sure we could review when it suited us most - like right now for instance...
A great experience all round; I only wish my old bones wasn't so creaky these days 😉

The director of the company, Steve is a very passionate person and happy with his staff. I can't say enough good things about their workmanship on our granny flat! It was built to high standards in every way imaginable from quality materials used right down to little details such as an easy access front door so we could get up there easily when needed without having any problems unlocking or opening it ourselves because who doesn’t love helping out their family members just a bit too much sometimes even if they're elderly like my own grandmothers were at times before passing away peacefully while still being able strong

So far, the construction of our granny flat has gone to plan and we are very happy with the team at Granny Flats. Steve - one of their foremen was a great help all through making this entire project fun! They work across nations too so if you need any more jobs done overseas I'll be sure call them up next time around
I am really pleased by how smoothly this whole thing went from start-to-finish because honestly nothing could have been better than working alongside such professionals that offered just what i needed when it came down detailing every step in executing my vision without question or hesitation
