Reasons to consider building a granny flat in Sydney
There are plenty of great reasons for you to consider building a granny flat on your property. Some of the advantages and benefits why you could consider building a granny flat include:
Compact yet comfortable, a granny flat often makes for a viable living option for relatives and in-laws if you want to keep your family close but not under the same roof. Whether you want to provide a comfortable place for your parents to retire or want to give your growing kids a sense of independence while still having them near you, a granny flat is a great choice.
If you often have friends and relatives visit, a granny flat can offer them a place to stay. Instead of booking an expensive hotel, your guests can simply make themselves at home in your granny flat for the duration of their stay.
Renting out your granny flat is a great way to facilitate an extra income stream. At Smart Choice Granny Flats, we have a range of contemporary granny flat plans that are perfect for attracting potential tenants.

Contemporary granny flat designs to suit the Australian lifestyle
At Smart Choice Granny Flats, we believe that the modern granny flat should look and feel like a home. Our designs are aesthetically pleasing inside and out, reflecting modern design trends and architectural styles.

Select one of our granny flat designs or customise your own
While we are proud to offer a versatile range of granny flat designs, from studios to four-bedroom plans, we also understand that everyone’s needs and requirements are different. Depending on the granny flat’s purpose, the size of the land and your location, you may want to look at different options that go beyond our available catalogue of granny flat designs. If that’s the case, then we would be more than happy to work with you on designing your very own unique, tailor-made granny flat.
On the other hand, if you’re not too sure where to start when it comes to designing your own granny flat, feel free to choose one of our existing designs from our collection. Each of these pre-existing designs can be customised too, and you can personalise details — such as the fittings, tiles, and the outer facade — that are more suited to your personal preference.
Deciding on the size of your granny flat.
How big can a granny flat be? Every state in Australia has different laws when it comes to the size of granny flats. If you’re considering building a cheap granny flat with Smart Choice Granny Flats, make sure you check your state laws and local council regulations first.

How much does a granny flat cost? This is a very important and valid question, but there are many different things to take into consideration when working out the cost of building a granny flat.

“Building a granny flat for us was a big deal. We were lucky with our choice of the construction company – Smart Choice Granny Flats. But before we made it, we’ve spent more than a year researching, getting multiple quotes, visiting the showrooms and offices of many builders in the Sydney area. Lucky for you we did this job so you can rely on our experience. Justin Sharp was the first person we’ve met from Smart Choice Granny Flats, he came for a site visit and provided us with the estimate and a quotation within a day or two. Most quotations from the other builders were similar +/- 15%, so we knew the price was correct and our choice at this stage is about the quality – quality of work and quality of materials. And this is when we started reading reviews. Surprisingly, the numerous Smart Choice Granny Flats reviews were all positive. After brief follow up communication Justin invited us to visit a display home for a selection of the materials and colors. The display granny flat was nice, spacious, and well designed. I recommend you not to invest in any plans / designs until you see it. We’ve invested in our own certified plans, so we had to stick to them, otherwise I’d pick up the design of the display home and would save time, money, and trouble.
Deborah Appanna – thoroughly guided us through the material choice and gave us confidence that we’ve selected the right construction company.
We’ve added some extra features to the existing plans: extra lights, power points, blinds, foot path, patio, etc. and signed the contract expecting the construction to be completed within 4 months.
A week later it all started. Demolition, plumbing, slab, structure… everything was going smoothly and professionally under supervision of very helpful managers: Cameron Jamieson and Stuart Ferguson. All Smart Choice Granny Flats contractors were nice guys who showed us respect when working on our property, so we felt very secure.
I could write more about the process, but the review is getting long. You are welcome to ask me additional questions, but here is the summary:
Pros: The project was completed well before the contract schedule.
Quality, value, security, professionalism, willing to help.
Cons: None that I can think of, honestly.
Tip: discuss all possible extras you might need before the construction starts
Three years later….
Three years on, the after-sales service has been excellent. To date, there have been no major concerns with the quality—everything remains in perfect order. A few minor breaks (hardly worth mentioning) were promptly and gracefully resolved by the courteous and professional young man, Kyle.
I highly recommend Smart Choice Granny Flats for your construction projects, whether small or medium in scale.”

Joe “We were very happy with the Smart Choice Team and finished product. The process was very transparent and professional! From first introduction with Justin, Justin was very approachable and knowledgeable about the build. Deborah made the choices process season and not daunting. Mark (architect and draftsman)helped us with all our changes very quickly and was incredibly accommodating to our multiple changes requests to make sure we got the most out of our site. Chris very professional and thorough! Last but our biggest praise goes to George! @George Naofal took charge of the build, provided weekly updates of contractors onsite, detailed explanations of the process and very accommodating to the owners/our needs. George is an absolute asset to the smart choice team by far the reason we would recommend and work with the @Smart Choice Granny Flats team again! A huge thank you again we love our home extension.”
Joseph “We couldn’t have been happier with the whole process of having our granny flat built by Smart Choice! Every little thing was perfect. They have a great architect who assists with design, a display home where you can choose finishes etc with help of lovely Deborah, they deal with council if needed, the price was great value, quality was exceptional, their whole team were perfectionists and nice people. One of the managers (Grant) came out to inspect the build regularly and kept us up to date on every step. They even send a cleaning team and final touch guy through at the end of the job to make sure every last thing is perfect. Our granny flat was completed on time and is gorgeous.
Thank you Smart Choice Granny Flats!”
