FAQs
What's the difference between a granny flat and a secondary dwelling?
In practice, they're often used interchangeably. Councils and certifiers usually refer to 'secondary dwelling'. The rules depend on zoning, setbacks, site coverage, services, and access.
How long does a granny flat build take on the Gold Coast?
A typical timeline is 6-9 months including design, approvals, and construction. The exact timeline depends on approvals and site constraints.
Do you handle approvals?
Yes. We can coordinate drafting/engineering and manage the approvals pathway with certifiers so compliance is handled properly.
Can a secondary dwelling be used for rental income?
Often yes, but it depends on your property and local rules. We'll flag the likely pathway during a feasibility call.
