Australia’s Top Prefab & Modular Granny Flat Providers
Compare leading prefab providers in one place, with a clear breakdown of how modular, panelised and relocatable builds differ.
If you want a streamlined, predictable way to build, a prefab granny flat is hard to beat. Below we’ve gathered Australia’s leading providers so you can compare designs, delivery and inclusions side by side.
Modular vs Kit vs Prefab
“Prefab” is an umbrella term. The build method changes your delivery, site works and resale options.
Volumetric Modular
Built as a complete 3D box (or boxes) in a factory, arriving about 95% finished and craned onto screw piles.
Panelised Prefab
Walls and roof are built as flat panels (SIPs or timber frames), trucked to site and assembled like a jigsaw.
Relocatable
Built on a permanent steel chassis and designed to be moved again, so it can be sold separately from the land.

How to read this prefab directory
Does the factory price include site works?
Usually not. Crane hire, piers, sewer, power metering and energy certificates sit outside the module invoice. Ask for a written split between factory and on-site costs before you compare two suppliers.
Do small granny flats skip NCC energy rules?
No. Secondary dwellings still follow National Construction Code energy provisions. See the Australian Building Codes Board and NatHERS for the current 7-star / whole-of-home pathway.
How should I shortlist from these cards?
Use city, tags and the supplier website, then call with your lot address and overlay. The Granny Flat Guide Team does not build or sell these homes; we list public supplier details so you can compare factory vs site-built options.

What to Ask Before Choosing a Prefab Provider
What does “turnkey” really mean?
The turnkey price often excludes the crane. With powerlines or trees in the way, a 100-tonne crane can cost around $10,000 a day. Get a site access check before signing.
Visit the factory or display home
Never buy off a floor plan alone. Inspect the frame quality and how modules are stored before delivery.
Chassis engineering and resale value
For relocatable homes, ask whether the chassis is rated for a single lift or multiple lifts. It affects future resale.
