Our Approach To Creating Excellence

Sales Enquiry & Site Assessment

You may have some additional questions after having explored our website. At this point we will too. In this early phase we will help you to determine if your property is suitable for one of our high-quality designs.

Understanding your reason for building a granny flat will help us to work with you so that all your needs are met. A complimentary, obligation free site assessment will be conducted by one of our experienced team. During this visit we will look at things like access and how we will run services (such as water & electricity) to your granny flat from your existing property.

Once this site assessment has been completed, we will make you an offer of purchase*.

Pre-Site

You have now settled on one of our well thought out granny flats. After signing a preliminary agreement (which is deductible from your build cost) we will obtain all the necessary property information required, including a soil test, engineering and a 7-star energy report. Once we have everything we need, the final price is confirmed, and domestic building insurance is obtained.


An appointment is made, at our showroom, on M-F within business hours where you will select colours and review and sign your building contract. If preferred this appointment can be online and your contract can be signed electronically. We will then obtain the building permit and determine the site start date.

Construction

Built on site using local suppliers and quality trades, you will be assigned a site supervisor who will be with you the whole way through your construction journey. Your supervisor is responsible for efficiently co-ordinating the build and ensuring our high-quality standards are met, while regularly keeping you updated. Our 8-10 week build process* starts with the installation of the steel base and timber framing. This is followed by roof cover, windows, and external cladding. Insulation, electrical and plumbing rough ins are followed by plaster linings, internal doors, and kitchen cabinetry. Painting, benchtops, electrical and plumbing fit offs and floor coverings finish the process.

Once your supervisor is satisfied with the quality of the build, he will organise a time for a practical completion inspection with you to walk through your new home. From here a handover date will be appointed and you will receive the keys to your new Backyard Living Solutions granny flat.

*Offer of purchase is subject to change based on outcome of soil & property reports. *Build times may vary depending on chosen design.
