We provide free online guides on approval legislation, good design principles, garage or room conversions and granny flat construction. Australia's latest Granny Flat News HERE. Our Sydney clients have discovered that they can save thousands of dollars if they just bypass the 'Building Company' process and go straight to the wholesale source.
That's Us. So cut out the middle-man and go straight to the people who design, approve and build Granny Flats every day. There's simply no other business in NSW offering Transparent, Turn-Key Build Prices for every Australian. This will tell us if we can approve a granny flat and if there are any issues.
We can appraise your property and advise you on maximising privacy and separation for your new project. At Stage-1, we'll come to your site and carry out a detailed survey. We'll report to you on connection to sewer, storm-water drainage and power. At Stage 2, we'll prepare your plans, engineering and we'll quote you with one of our Affordable Turn-Key Build Packages.

Services
At Granny Flats Sydney, we believe in listening to our clients. We will work with you to design an energy efficient home that is modern and easy to maintain, with quality appointments throughout. A main feature of Granny Flats Sydney is ergonomically designed bathrooms, bedrooms sized to your needs, stylish kitchens and spacious living and dining areas.
We are a uniquely dedicated granny flat service, with our main goal focused on saving you time and money. We believe in designing to a budget, not to a dream. This means creating realistically achievable granny flat plans so that your budget is not blown when it comes time to actually building your new dwelling.
Is your property a minimum size of 450 sq m? NO: You cannot get 10-Day approval for a detached granny flat, but may get approval for an attached granny flat. Is your property 12 metres wide (measured at the location of the new granny flat)? Will your property have NO MORE THAN the following floor space?
The NSW State SEPP Legislation, called the 'Affordable Rental Housing SEPP' is your first port of call when considering garage conversions. Granny Flat Approvals have been designing and managing the construction of their award winning granny flats for over 15 years throughout Sydney. Serge and his team offer an unparallelled solution for helping you create your new granny flat.
One bedroom granny flat designs offer a cheaper alternative to a larger granny flat and they're ideal for the single occupant. 1 bedroom granny flats must be created to make perfect use of limited space. This means integrating the living room, dining room and kitchen together. It also means allowing for much needed storage space.

Thanks to Faraj for getting approval for my granny flat. I went to a few other companies and they all said they couldn’t do it due to the complications of my land but Faraj got it approved, he has been great to work with, always communicating and providing different options to solve any issues. His price is fair and he provides great services. I will recommend Faraj to my family and friends.

We have had an excellent experience with Faraj. He is very responsive, extremely patient, and very easy to talk to. One of the most professional yet friendly people in the construction industry that that I have ever spoken to. We ended up not building the granny flat on our property, but did go through the approvals process, which due to the flooding issues at our property was cumbersome. Yet, Faraj was always there to answer any questions and patiently advise the best solution. I highly recommend him and this company, and will definitely return for any future projects.

In our capacity as Buyer's Agents we often are engaged by clients to find property which is suitable for a granny flat development in the back yard. Faraj has never failed us in getting his professional opinion to us prior to our purchase of a property. This is especially critical from not only a timing perspective but also whether we can get approval as a CDC or it requires a DA. Thank you Faraj!

I am currently in the process of buying a property to eventually build a granny flat. Faraj has not only given me valuable and important information but he has also saved me from buying properties which would have been a nightmare to build a granny on thereby saving me the stress and heartache of buying the wrong property, not to mention saving me a fortune in costs!
I am thankful to have found these guys and can't wait to start the process with them, the right way.

I highly recommend Granny Flat Approvals. We are currently looking to purchase a house and install a granny flat. Faraj has been an invaluable resource when review contracts, providing very beneficial advise around the feasibility of construction on complicated parcels of land.

This whole building experience went so seamlessly and transparent it was a pleasure working with them. We knew all the requirements during the planning and design processes with no hidden unexpected costs. Being in the flight path did require additional funding , but that was our call.
In the end the final product was something we were all proud of.
Highly recommend the team from Granny Flat Approvals for any Granny Flat to be built anywhere in Australia. They are there to get you a result.

We're in the process of buying a new home that requires a granny flat to be built in the backyard and Faraj has been so helpful, going above and beyond in checking contracts and giving us the information we need to make an informed decision. Once again thank you for being so helpful from the beginning and making an effort to make sure we are educated and know what we're getting ourselves into. Saving us much time and money! Looking forward to working with them further.

Granny Flat Approvals (GFA) has helped us obtain our approval for our garage to granny flat conversion with ease. From our first call to Zoe & later site inspection & design by Nick, this efficient team has made the whole process very clear & transparent.
As our garage setback distance was less than the council requirement, most builders that we have spoken to have encouraged us to knock down our brick garage & rebuild the granny flat rather than converting. As GFA is very familiar with council requirements they were able to suggest ways how we could still do the conversion. Faraj is very informative
