Another granny flat taking shape 👷‍♂️🏡

Isaac, our Project Officer, takes us on-site for a progress update on this 2-bedroom granny flat with an attached garage.

The attached garage adds even more functionality to the design — whether it’s for secure parking, extra storage or simply making better use of the space available on the property.

Stay tuned to see it come together. Thinking about what could work on your property? Get in touch with our team and we can help you explore the possibilities.

Could the position of your boundary determine how your granny flat gets approved? 👀

CDC or DA is one of the biggest questions we get asked — and the answer isn’t always as straightforward as you might think.

In this video, Logan, our Head of Sales, breaks down one of the key things we look at when assessing a property: setbacks and boundaries — and how they can impact the approval pathway for your granny flat.

The good news? You don’t need to know the rules before you get started. We assess your property, work out what’s possible and guide you through the approval process from day one.

Need a granny flat without losing your garage or storage?👀

Emily takes us through this two-storey granny flat we’re building in Stockton — and it’s a seriously smart solution for the right property.

If you have rear lane access, need to keep valuable car space, or simply want extra storage underneath, building up instead of out can open up a whole lot more possibility.

🚗 Garage + storage downstairs
🏡 Full granny flat living upstairs
📍 Perfect for blocks where space needs to work harder

It’s a great example of why the best granny flat solution isn’t always the most obvious one.

Reach out if you would like to know if this could work on your property!

From where it all started to more than 1,500 builds later ❤️

In this video, our founder Alex shares a little of the story behind Backyard Grannys — how the business began, how far we’ve come, and what makes him most proud looking back.

A lot has changed over the years, but one thing hasn’t: our commitment to building quality homes and looking after the people who trust us to build in their backyard.

More than 1,500 builds is a milestone we’re incredibly proud of — but even more than that, we’re proud of the families, investors and homeowners we’ve been able to help along the way.

Here’s to everything we’ve built so far, and what’s still to come.

A garage is one of the smartest additions you can make to your granny flat design. 🚗🏡

Not only does it provide secure parking, storage, or space for hobbies and projects, but it also doesn't count towards your internal living area, helping you maximise your floorplan.

From cars and tools to home gyms and workshops, a garage adds flexibility, functionality and long-term value to your granny flat.
