Reviews

Glowing reviews from our amazing clients

We are the leaders in high quality construction and great communication, but don’t just take our word for it, take a look at what our customers are saying

Very happy to highly recommend Bungalow Homes. A very professional outfit giving accurate quotes, delivering on time and exceptionally communicative and helpful. Also very friendly. We joked this morning that we were going to miss them when they weren't here 🙂
Granny flat rented out for good price before building completed!

We recently had a granny flat built by Bungalow Homes, and the entire process from start to finish was incredibly smooth. The communication was excellent throughout, with the team always keeping us updated on the progress. They were transparent with timelines and next steps, making sure we were in the loop every step of the way.

The build and handover were completed just before Christmas, which was an added bonus and allowed us to enjoy the holiday season without any worries. Special mention goes out to Jason who was exceptional in managing the project. He ensured we were informed about every detail, stayed on top of the tradesmen, and maintained transparency throughout the entire build process.

We couldn't be happier with the end result and the seamless experience provided by Bungalow Homes. Highly recommended!

We chose Bungalow Homes on a recommendation from a friend and could not be happier with the result. I would like to thank the whole team especially Leanne, Tanya and Paul the sales manager who helped us through the first stages of the planning. Jason our site supervisor was wonderful, he kept us informed and updated at every stage of the building process. He sorted out any issues along the way calmly and professionally and was very approachable. I highly recommend Bungalow Homes.

Building a granny flat can be stressful, but Bungalow Homes made it a breeze! My project manager, Jason, was outstanding. He kept me informed every step of the way, anticipated potential issues, and was always available to answer questions. He clearly cared about the final product and handled the project's complexities with ease. His positive and professional attitude made the whole experience much more enjoyable. I'm delighted with the final quality of the Granny Flat. John and Pedro were also fantastic to work with. Everyone at Bungalow Homes was professional and friendly. While the overall quality is excellent, a few subcontractors could have paid closer attention to detail. It's worth keeping a close eye on their work during the construction phase. Overall, I highly recommend Bungalow Homes, especially if you can request Jason as your project manager. The finished product is excellent, and the team is professional and friendly.

I had a garage rebuild with a 1st Floor granny flat built by Bungalow homes. Their process is sound. Excellent communication of the build stages, accurate coatings and they finished the job on budget. There were some delays on this build, though I think it is a standard industry issue currently. Overall very happy with the result and build quality. I was very happy to work with Pedro, our project manager on this build. Clear, honest communication throughout, and any issues were resolved quickly and professionally. Would recommend Bungalow for your building project.

FAQs

Questions? We're glad you asked.

If you're looking for answers to your questions, find some common inquiries addressed here.

A Granny Flat, or Secondary Dwelling, is a self-contained housing unit located on the same block as a single-family dwelling, and was often used for an ageing parent, hence its name, however these days more and more people are using Granny Flats as a form of rental income to help offset increasing mortgage repayments and relieve some financial stress, or to downsize themselves to allow family members use of the larger family home.

In the majority of Council areas, and under Complying Development a Granny Flat can be 60m2 although some Council's allow larger in certain circumstances. As an example, Northern Beaches Council will allow you to build up to 25% of the floor space of your existing (primary) dwelling, so if you have a large floorplan already, you may be able to build closer to 75m2, providing you can still comply with Council's other development rules.

In order to build a Granny Flat, there are a number of rules you need to adhere to with your design and build in order to obtain approvals for construction and occupation.
There are two different sets of legislation around Granny Flats 

  1. the Housing SEPP, which allows a 60m2 Granny Flat on properties zoned R2, with a minimum block size of 450m2 and 12m wide at the front building line.
  2. Your Local Council LEP and DCP allows Granny Flats in other zonings, and has rules around the size, setbacks, and heights of secondary dwellings. There are also constraints on landscape areas, and floor space over both dwellings. Development Applications must be lodged through Council for Granny Flat approvals under these rules.

Navigating both of these processes can be daunting. You are best to talk to an expert (like us) to help you learn more about what might be possible on your property!

 

A Bungalow Homes Granny flat starts from $160,000 excluding site specific costs. On average, a custom designed and built granny flat is $220,000 to $260,000 including site costs. Be sure to compare all your inclusions carefully and ask your builder about potential variations during construction so you are fully informed of all the costs.

In our experience, Granny Flats INCREASE your property value, providing a potential income stream to buyers. Real Estate experts have all agreed that Granny Flats are a positive addition to a property.
