Frequently Asked Questions

Most properties across the Gold Coast, Logan, Scenic Rim and Ipswich can accommodate a compliant granny flat. Using our siting software, we scale our designs to your block and confirm access, slope, and services during a site visit.

Yes. All secondary dwellings in Queensland require Building Approval. Our team manages the entire approval process with our certifiers and town planners (if required)— whether Gold Coast, Logan, Scenic Rim or Ipswich — ensuring your granny flat meets all planning and building requirements.

Once approvals are complete, most of our granny flats are built in around 16–20 weeks. Timelines depend on site conditions and selections, but we provide a clear schedule before construction begins.

Our builds include design, building approval, site works, and full construction. Each flat features a durable steel frame, hybrid flooring, 2550mm ceilings, 300mm eaves, and concrete piers up to 1200mm deep — all designed for Queensland conditions.

Yes. While our pre-engineered designs are efficient, you can choose colours, materials, and finishes to suit your style. We’ll help tailor your granny flat to your property and lifestyle — whether you’re building in Gold Coast, Logan, Scenic Rim or Ipswich.

Most customers fund their granny flat through a standard construction loan, equity release, redraw facility, or cash savings. If you have home equity, many banks allow you to use it without refinancing your main loan. We provide fixed-price quotes and documentation to support your application.

Maximum sizes depend on your block and council zoning. Our designs range from 18–100m² for one- or two-bedroom flats. We’ll help select a design that meets regulations while making the most of your space.

Yes. Our steel-frame builds on concrete piers can accommodate moderate slopes and uneven terrain. Standard site works are included in our fixed-price quote, and we evaluate your site during a visit to ensure suitability.

Yes. Provided the flat meets local building codes and council requirements, it can be rented out. Many homeowners use their secondary dwelling to generate rental income or provide a private space for family members.

A granny flat is a fully compliant, permanent secondary dwelling built on your property with all services connected. Tiny homes are smaller, often mobile, and may not meet building standards. Our designs are engineered for long-term use and council approval.

Yes. All our granny flats clients are presented with a fixed-price Master Builders building contract, including design, building approvals, site works, and construction. This ensures no unexpected costs, giving you certainty for budget and timeline across the Gold Coast, Logan, Scenic Rim, or Ipswich.
