Thinking of an investment, why not a granny flat?
With the recent changes in 2022, the Queensland Government have made it easier for people to rent out a secondary dwelling to people outside of their immediate family members. Not only is a granny flat a great housing option for expanding families, with this change, it has opened an opportunity for homeowners who have vacant space to rent out and earn extra income, and to provide more rental options for people.
Why Queensland Granny Flats?
You might not believe that we can build your granny flat in just 18 weeks, but it’s true! It’s all down to the engineering we use to construct your homes. We build your granny flat from the ground up with our new and approved modular buildings – that’s why we are so fast!
We organise council approvals and once we have these completed, we start building on your land. Your home will be up in 18 weeks, and you will only ever deal directly with the builders, no intermediaries or third parties.
Where do we build your granny flat?
We build your granny flat on your land, Queensland wide.
What materials do we use for your granny flat?
You will be happy to know that we source all our high-quality materials for granny flats locally and they all meet the necessary Australian Standards. At Queensland Granny Flats, we do our best to support the local community and other trades people and industries, that’s why we only source our materials inside Australia. Over the years, we have built a strong network of reliable suppliers who give us very good prices, which we pass onto our clients, and it’s one of the reasons our granny flats are so affordable.
How about colour choices?
We can show you popular colour options, but you have free reign to choose all your own colours inside and outside. You can sit down with our colour specialist and decide whether to match the colour scheme for your granny flat to your main house or try something different.
Customisations? No problem!
We have an exclusive range of different modular buildings for granny flats, which can be mixed and matched and customised to suit your needs. There are four general designs for our granny flats: Driftwood, Bluegum, Lily Pilly and Bay Cottage. Each has their own special characteristics, and all have a wonderful wide and airy veranda.
Granny flats with 6 to 8 star energy ratings!
With energy bills becoming such a problem across Australia, it’s good to know that our granny flats have between a 6 to 8 star energy rating. This means that your home will be environmentally friendly, and your power bills will be much lower in our granny flats than anywhere else!
Our suppliers help us to keep our costs down so our granny flats are very affordable. You will be amazed at what you get for your money! Whether you want lots of customisations or not, the price you pay for your granny flat will leave you speechless with delight!
Four different options for your granny flat
Your granny flat can be a separate dwelling, built as a stand-alone building, either beside or behind your main home. It can also be built above or below your main home, giving you four options, depending on your main home’s configurations, your land, and your needs.
Option 1: Beside your main home
These granny flats are ideal for wide blocks of land and are ideal if you want the additional space to start a new business or for young adults. This option tends to be long and narrow (depending on the available space at the side of your home) but has a garage with access to the street and a private open space for the occupants.
Option 2: Behind your main home
This option is often the best choice for elderly relatives, providing access to the street, undercover parking and a small garden. This can be a long and narrow building if your land is not very deep but can also be nice and wide if you have the space at the back of your block.
Option 3: Below your main home
This option is perfect for old Queenslanders or fibro homes that have a lot of unusable space underneath. It’s also ideal for someone with a disability, because it’s all built on one level. You have additional parking spaces, a small garden and lots of design options that will make better use of your home.
Option 4: Above your main home
It’s often cheaper to go up than go out! That’s why we have a granny flat option that allows you to make use of the space above your current home, by building a granny flat as a second storey. It’s ideal for teenagers or young adults who haven’t fled the nest yet and is a very viable financial option. Parking and street access is included and access to a private outdoor space can be included.
