What styles of accommodation do granny flat builders offer?

As experienced and reputable granny flat builders we offer designs that range from one bedroom studios to three bedroom homes, but anything larger really isn’t considered a granny flat.

In fact, the local council dictates the size of additional accommodation that can be built on existing blocks, so depending on your size plot, you will be restricted to a certain size granny flat. Apart from these specific restrictions, you are free to design the perfect accommodation, but generally your first priority is usually that it should be affordable and comfortable.

Independence and privacy are two other important factors, but accessibility is also essential for elderly relatives or anyone who has difficulty with mobility. So to help you decide which type of accommodation is perfect for your situation, here are three different styles that most granny flat builders will have on offer.

Modern loft style granny flats

Young people who want to stay at home longer tend to like these loft inspired designs that suit inner city suburbs where there is plenty of action, a café culture and lots of nightlife within easy reach. Granny flat builders should have no problem creating one of the loft designs that are perfect for blocks that have a limited amount of available space.

Ranch style granny flats

These designs take up more space, simply because they are influenced by a ranch design. There is more of a flow to these designs that include large windows to let in lots of light and a lovely deck, patio or wrap around veranda to enjoy views of the garden. These are more suited to larger acreage blocks and most granny flat builders should be able to customise these designs to suit your needs.

Modern and contemporary granny flats

These tend to be more affordable options, so they are smaller than the Ranch and Loft Style granny flats, fitting everything into a compact space. Heralding from the days when kit homes were a popular option for additional accommodation, these designs offer modern, clean designs for small spaces, but can easily be upgraded to suit your requirements.

As quality granny flat builders in Queensland, we can design something that perfectly suits your requirements and is within your budget. Call us on 07 3209 4623 or send us an email for more information.

What features can be included in our granny flat designs?

We can customise our granny flat designs to suit your specific needs, but generally we use a number of features that have several options. These are the type of roof, kitchen and flooring. Let’s take a look at each of these features, so you can think about how you could tailor them for your own granny flat.

Colorbond or tiled roofs?

You can select from either colorbond steel roofs or tiles, whichever suits your design aesthetics.  Generally, people have a preference for one type of roofing material over another, which is fine because we can accommodate your preferences quite easily. We can also match the roof of your granny flat to the roof of your main home, as well as include solar panels, solar roof tiles and even solar batteries in your package.

Flooring options

Do you want tiles, carpets, bamboo, cork, laminated flooring or hardwood? Many of our granny flat designs have one type of flooring throughout the entire building, but you can choose to have carpets in the bedrooms and hardwood in the rest of your new home or any other combination that suits your needs. We can include your preferred flooring options in your final quoted price and they will be professionally fitted and ready at completion or you can have them installed at a later date.

Kitchen options

The kitchen is the heart of your home and just because this is a granny flat, doesn’t mean that you need to stint on your kitchen. We can design a kitchen that fits in with your budget or your specific needs or you can select from one of our popular granny flat designs that has the perfect kitchen for your lifestyle. We can include an island bench, stone countertops, a bar fridge and anything else that will make this area your dream kitchen.

Just tell us all your needs and we will create a design that includes everything that you want, at a price that you can afford. It’s important however, to remember that a granny flat will be much smaller than a regular size home, so it’s always best to select a few items that you can’t live without and focus on making sure that the overall design suits your needs.
