A granny flat in Port Stephens usually costs between $120,000 to $160,000 to build. However, there are some factors that can cause this figure to change, such as the block of land you’re building on (its size, location, and condition) and the specific requirements of local councils. Additionally, 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 – and ultimately the budget.

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