Granny Flats have evolved significantly beyond their original use and are no longer just for housing elderly family members. Nowadays, these versatile units can serve a variety of functions and can be easily constructed on your property close to your main home to meet different needs. This growing versatility is why the trend of building Granny Flats is becoming increasingly popular in Sydney Australia .

What are the Advantages in building a Granny Flat?
We provide affordable housing through our easy approval process, cost effective Granny Flat packages and fast construction methods.
In 2009, the NSW Affordable Housing State Environmental Planning Policy (SEPP) made it easier for homeowners in NSW to build Granny Flats .
If your property meets the Complying Development Certificate (CDC) requirements, you can get approval for your Granny Flat project without going through the council. A private certifier can approve it for you.
Does it have a frontage larger than 12m and meet the required boundary setbacks?
Before an on-site assessment, we highly recommend having a Section 10.7 Certificate, Sewer Diagram, and Title ready.
At Granny Flat Builders, we take pride in our honesty, transparency, and dedication to constructing high-quality Granny Flats. We value your trust, which is why when we visit your property for the initial assessment, we arrive fully prepared. Before conducting any on-site assessment, our assessors utilize various planning and service tools to identify any potential restrictions or limitations that could affect the budget, location, or likelihood of council approval for your Granny Flat project.
Section 10.7 Certificate
A Section 10.7 Certificate, also known as a ‘Planning Certificate’, provides a detailed overview of your property’s potential. It reveals information about restrictions, zoning, and more. Some may recognize it as the ‘Section 149 Certificate’.
If you’re struggling to recall where it is, you might find the Section 10.7 Certificate in your property purchase contract. However, due to the constantly changing nature of council regulations, if it’s been more than 6–12 months since you acquired your property, we recommend obtaining a new Section 10.7 from your local council. Maintaining current and accurate information about your property is crucial, particularly when engaging with Granny Flat builders.
Sewer Diagram
Building a Granny Flat involves more than just the visible landscape of your property. Hidden aspects like plumbing can greatly influence your Granny Flat designs and construction.
