Some of our Designs
Ready to Build? Start Here.
We specialise in planning, design and approvals for residential projects across Australia from main dwellings and duplexes to granny flats and studios.
If you’re serious about building, here’s how to move forward:
Step 2 — Design Documentation (From $3,500 inc GST)
After your report, we meet online to explain the findings and outline the next steps.
We then prepare construction-ready architectural drawings tailored to your project.
These drawings are fully aligned with planning requirements, ensuring your project is ready to move efficiently into the approval stage without unnecessary revisions or delays.
Step 3 — Approval & Lodgement
We handle the full approval process through Council or a private certifier, coordinating all required documentation and consultant reports.
We take away the stress, time, and back-and-forth, managing consultants, compliance, and approvals on your behalf so you can focus on the bigger picture while we handle the details.
Don’t Spend Thousands Guessing.
Start with clarity.

Questions?
We have the answers you need
What is the total cost to build a granny flat?
The total cost is made up of “Design + Approval” expenses depending on the pathway of your approval, plus the cost of materials and the cost of labour. The cost of labour changes whether you decide to arrange individual trades yourself, such as a carpenter, plumber or electrician. Or if you decide to pay a builder directly, understanding there is a ‘Builders Margin’ added to the labour component in the latter case. Book in a call when you are ready and we will walk you through these expenses in more detail.
What is the chance of getting Council Approval?
This all depends on your land, your local Council and if there is a chance to by-pass Council altogether. Get in touch with us today and we can give you a much better answer than this, based on your site address.
Can I have the exact design I want?
Yes you can. We have many designs on our website to choose from. You can either alter what you see, or create something completely unique to you. We craft plans based on your site, your budget and share the best ways to build for less.
Which States in Australia do you service?
We have clients in every State of Australia. And have serviced 100’s of clients Australia wide.
What are the next steps to get my granny flat built?
The first step is getting our team of planners to arrange a preliminary assessment on your site. This confirms the path of approval, the cost of approval, and allows us to craft your options to build for less. Get in touch with us today, let us know what you are after and will share the best ways to build for less.
