Looking for a granny flat builder in Canberra?

Granny flats can be the perfect solution if you:

• need extra space for guests and visitors
• want to create an independent living space for members of your family
• are thinking about generating an income from your back yard
• want to create income from your home without subdividing and selling off your garden.

Do I need planning permission to build a granny flat in Canberra?

Yes. Before you build your granny flat, you’ll need to get acquainted with any building and planning regulations for your suburb. We can help you with this, or if you want to conduct your own research you can start with the Residential Design Codes (R-Codes). Your R-Code will dictate how big your block needs to be, the maximum size granny flat you can build and other things that you ought to be aware of, such as parking requirements for example. The planning department of your local council are a good place to start.

We deal with council planning and building departments on a regular basis, so when you hire TRUSS CONSTRUCTION, we will submit your plans and work with your local council to ensure everything is above board. It’s one less thing for you to worry about.
