How to read this custom builder directory

What is different from a prefab module?

A custom build can be designed around your site and room requirements. Ask who manages design, approvals, foundations and construction, then compare the complete scope with a modular proposal. Neither approach is automatically cheaper or suitable for every block.

Who signs off energy and structure?

Ask the builder to identify the responsible engineer, energy practitioner and certifier or building surveyor for your jurisdiction. The ABCB publishes the NCC. Confirm the applicable compliance pathway and supporting documents before construction.

How should I use these cards?

Call with overlays, sewer distance and whether you want a rental or family occupancy. The Granny Flat Guide Team lists public builder details; we are not a builder and we do not take a commission on the jobs you book.

Primary sources

Size caps, approval pathways and dollar bands on this page are planning ranges. Check the current official page before you lodge or sign.

See our editorial standards for how we research and update guides.

Choose your state, then contact a shortlist with the same survey, bedroom requirements and inclusions list. Ask whether each business provides construction, design only or a delivered module.

Is it worth the premium?

The “Turnkey” Premium

Why a managed build costs more, and when that extra is money well spent.

You are paying for risk management

Compare what each builder takes responsibility for: design, approvals, trade coordination, site supervision and handover. Ask for a written scope and check the licence, insurance and warranty requirements for your state before signing.

Directory disclaimer: This is a curated list of Australian builders specialising in secondary dwellings, listed for free to help you start your research. A directory listing is a starting point for research, not an endorsement or guarantee of the builder's work. Do your own due diligence, check licences, and request insurance certificates before signing.
Avoid the trap

The “Prime Cost” Trap

Check the allowances before comparing the total.

Choose fittings before comparing allowances

Ask the builder to explain every allowance and how changes are charged. Choose fittings and finishes early, then request an updated inclusions list and written prices. Compare quotes using the same selections and scope.
