Build a granny flat that adds value and income – without the stress
If you're looking for a smart way to unlock the potential of your property, a custom-built granny flat is one of the most effective ways to do it. Whether you're planning to rent it out, increase your property’s value, or simply create a versatile space for the future, a Backyard Grannys build makes the process simple, stress-free, and rewarding.
Designed to deliver returns
Our most popular builds for investors and homeowners alike are two-bedroom granny flats – and it’s easy to see why. They’re compact enough to fit comfortably on most residential blocks, but large enough to generate meaningful rental income or provide flexible space for extended family. With strong average returns and growing demand for self-contained living, a granny flat is a high-performing investment you can see from your own backyard.
The simplest way to build
With over 1,000 completed projects since 2011, we’ve refined every part of the process to make building easy for you. From our first on-site inspection to handing over the keys, we take care of everything – approvals, design, project management, construction, and compliance. You’ll always know where your build is up to, and our dedicated team is here to guide you at every step.
We also take care of both CDC (Complying Development Certificate) and DA (Development Application) approvals, depending on what your block requires – saving you time and paperwork.
Custom design or cost-effective floorplans
Choose from our most economical pre-designed floorplans to keep costs down, or work with our in-house architect to design something tailored to your block and goals. Whether you need to maximise rental appeal or create a flexible layout for future use, we’ll help you design a space that works hard for your property.
Built-in quality – inside and out
At our Bennetts Green Showroom, you’ll choose from a range of stylish, durable finishes that are built to last and appeal to tenants. From kitchens and bathrooms to flooring and exterior cladding, we help you balance budget with quality to get the best return on your investment.
One build. Many possibilities.
Beyond rental income, a granny flat can increase the overall value of your home, giving you more options in the future. Rent it now, move in later, or use it as a retreat, guest suite, or home office. The flexibility of a well-built granny flat is part of what makes it such a popular addition to backyards across Newcastle, the Hunter, and Central Coast.
