A fixed-price granny flat in a Sydney backyard at dusk

Sydney & NSW · fixed price · CDC handled

Granny flat builders in Sydney.

Fixed price. Built in 8 weeks. Approvals sorted.

A granny flat that pays for itself, without the wait.

Most Sydney granny flats take 4–6 months and hide their real price behind a “from” figure. We publish three fixed prices, itemise every inclusion, handle the CDC approval, and hand over a complete secondary dwelling in 8 weeks — built off-site while your backyard is prepared.

Build it for parents or adult kids today, or rent it out — a backyard granny flat is the rare investment that adds income without buying more land.

Each is a proven floor plan with a published price — a 1-bedroom studio, a 2-bedroom at the 60 m² secondary-dwelling limit, and a larger 2-bath option. Tap any design for the full floor plan and specs.

Approvals

Granny flat approval in NSW, the fast way.

Most granny flats skip council entirely via Complying Development. Here's what your block needs — and read the full guides in our journal.

01

450 m² & 12 m wide

The block must be a residential zone, at least 450 m² with 12 m of width at the building line.

02

Up to 60 m²

A secondary dwelling capped at 60 m² keeps the fast CDC pathway open — no full council DA.

03

CDC in ~10 days

A private certifier assesses against a fixed checklist — approval in as little as 10 business days.

04

We lodge it

We prepare plans, check setbacks and easements, and lodge the CDC for you.

Rental return

Family now, income later.

A modern 2-bedroom granny flat appraises around $500–580/week across greater Sydney. On COMPACT HOUSE 60 at $145,000 that's a gross yield in the mid-teens — no stamp duty, no second block of land.
