A granny flat in Sydney usually costs between $120,000 to $160,000 to build. However, there are some factors that can cause this figure to change, including the size/location/condition of the block of land and specific requirements by local councils. Finally, design and selection choices can vary greatly between granny flats and significantly alter not just the products and finishes, but also the engineering and compliance of the design – ultimately, this all affects the budget.

A Sydney granny flat will usually take between 12 to 15 weeks to build once design and approvals are completed. Depending on the level of customization the design and selections process can often take anywhere up to a few months, and council approvals can add a number of weeks on top of that. Backyard Grannys range of designs are fully compliant, meaning we can often skip the long council approvals process.

Backyard Grannys are Sydney’s first granny flat specialist builders. Unlike other building companies that may offer granny flats alongside more traditional buildings, Backyard Grannys has always been, and will always be, focused on building exceptional quality granny flats. Each granny flat we have built has been a customised design, built on-site here in Sydney. Our clients benefit from the wealth of knowledge and experience that comes with a decade of building such a specific, niche product.

Backyard Grannys offer the most complete range of features and inclusions. All of our granny flats are built to full turn-key completion, which means we build our granny flats to be move-in ready which makes it quicker to house loved ones or get a rental to market to start making a return.

This is why we have a huge range of included features and services that are offered as standard – that’s right, no extra cost. We have separated them into the pre-construction stage (Design & Complying Development Certificate) and the construction stage. To learn more read our complete list of general inclusions.

We offer a fully customisable design service. While we do have a fantastic range of designs that work great for a variety of sites, we also offer a custom service that allows our clients to design a build to perfectly fit their personal style or site requirements. We do many projects that our competitors won’t and we pride ourselves on the fact that we will take a personalized approach.

While there are prefabricated granny flats or kit-home style granny flats available online, the installation of these will often be very difficult and expensive. They may require heavy site modification and never include the supply and connection of required services. To ensure the quality of construction and longevity of the building, all our granny flats are built entirely on-site in the traditional construction method with site works and service connections included.
