A few things you might be wondering
A few simple answers to help you move forward with confidence.
-
In many cases, no.
Under current WA rules, granny flats up to 70m² that meet the R-Codes can often be built without planning (council) approval.A building permit is still always required — and that’s where we make sure everything is done properly from the start.
-
In many cases, yes — even smaller blocks are now eligible.
The real question isn’t can you build — it’s what actually works well on your block.
That’s exactly what we help you figure out. -
Yes — granny flats can now be rented to non-family members.
Many people explore this as a way to create additional income or future flexibility.
-
With simplified approvals, the process is much faster than a full home build.
Most projects move from approvals to construction within a few months — depending on the scope and site conditions.
-
Starting with a design before understanding the block.
Every site has its own constraints — and getting this wrong early can lead to costly changes later.
We start with clarity, so you don’t have to backtrack.
Most builders sell granny flat packages.
We take a different approach.
We look at your block, your goals, and how the space will actually be used —
whether that’s rental income, family, or future flexibility.
Then we shape a solution around that.
Not the other way around.
Because a well-considered design doesn’t mean a bigger budget —
it means getting more out of the same investment.
Backed by over 35 years of building experience —
with a focus on getting it right from the start.
