Visit Our Granny Flat Showroom and Display Home

1 Know Why You’re Building

Before your visit, you should know the main reason you’re exploring building a granny flat. This helps guide the conversation, and ensures your questions and design details are aligned with your priorities. Common reasons include:

• Creating a secondary dwelling for rental income
• Building private accommodation for extended family
• Adding value to your property for future resale or flexibility

Being clear on your intended use helps the design team suggest layouts, features, and finishes that suit your long-term goals…whether they’re financial, lifestyle-driven, or both.

2 Bring Questions: Big or Small

Now is the time to ask. The showroom visit is a good opportunity to get answers to both practical and design-related questions. Consider bringing a list, even if it’s just a few dot points, to ensure nothing gets missed. Common things people ask during showroom visits:

• “Can I change the layout slightly?”
• “How long does CDC approval usually take?”
• “What are the upgrade options for kitchens or bathrooms?”
• “How soon can construction start once we sign off?”

No question is too simple. In fact, asking early helps avoid surprises later. Our team will walk you through the process step by step so you leave feeling informed and confident about your next move.
