Do I need council approval for a granny flat on the Gold Coast?

Yes, most likely. We help confirm your block's zoning and handle lodging the right permits for council-approved granny flats.

How long does construction usually take?

It varies by size and complexity. Smaller single-bedroom flats can finish in a few months, while larger or luxury builds might take slightly longer. We provide a timeline after finalizing plans.

Can you build attached granny flats onto existing homes?

Yes. Our attached granny flat designs integrate seamlessly with your current layout, creating a unified look while maintaining privacy for both spaces.

Can I use a granny flat as a home office or studio?

Absolutely. Many clients opt for a backyard home office pod or a self-contained studio to accommodate remote work or creative pursuits.

What if I want a more upscale design?

We're all about customization. Tell us your vision, be it premium fixtures, bigger living areas, or modern granny flats with open-plan kitchens, and we'll incorporate it into the final design.
