Are you considering adding a granny flat to your property but feeling overwhelmed by the process?
Building a granny flat is an exciting venture, but it requires careful planning and execution. From understanding your property’s town planning overlays to the final stages of construction, here’s a comprehensive guide to navigating the granny flat building process seamlessly.
Understanding Your Property Town Planning Overlays:
Before diving into the granny flat construction process, it’s crucial to understand the town planning overlays specific to your property. These overlays may include zoning regulations, building height restrictions, setback requirements, and environmental considerations. We’ll be able to help you navigate these regulations and ensure your granny flat project complies with all necessary guidelines. Overlays like Bushfire, Environmental etc. will result in the need of extra consultants. For example determining the Bush Fire Attack Level (BAL) will guide needed fire addons during the building process. This is done by an external Bushfire Consultant.
Initial Onsite Consultation and Quote:
Once you have a clear understanding of the town planning overlays, the next step is to schedule an initial onsite consultation with one of our reputable granny flat experts. During this consultation, a professional will assess your property, discuss your vision, and provide valuable insights into the feasibility of your project. This consultation is an opportunity to ask questions, address concerns, and establish a solid foundation for the granny flat design phase.
Design Phase:
With the insights gathered from the onsite consultation, it’s time to kick off the design phase. Collaborate with our project manager to create a customised design that meets your needs, preferences, and budget. Whether you prefer a contemporary studio layout or a multi-bedroom dwelling, the design phase is where your vision begins to take shape. From floor plans to finishes selections, every detail is carefully considered to ensure your granny flat reflects your unique style and functionality requirements.
Obtaining Building and Plumbing Approval:
Once the design is finalised, the next step is to obtain building and plumbing approval from the relevant authorities. This process involves submitting detailed plans and documentation for review to ensure compliance with building codes and regulations. We’ll be navigating the complex approval process on your behalf, to maximise completion speed and piece of mind for you.. With approvals in hand, you can proceed confidently to the next stage of the granny flat construction process.
