Our price covers the granny flat itself: the build from slab to final clean, with the kitchen, bathroom and flooring included. What your block needs before and around the building is quoted separately, once we have seen it. That covers plans and approvals, council fees and non-standard site works, and on most Sydney blocks it adds $14,000 to $39,000. Both lists are written into your quote, line by line.
| Item | Why it changes from block to block |
|---|---|
| Site works | Excavation, rock, slope, retaining, cut and fill |
| Approval and certification | CDC or DA, and the reports each needs |
| Council contributions | Set by your council, often by bedroom count |
| Service connection upgrades | Only where existing water, sewer, stormwater or power isn’t adequate and needs changing or upgrading |
Across most Sydney blocks these come to $14,000 to $39,000.
We confirm the figure for your block in writing after the site inspection. The cost guide explains each one.
You can add upgrades, such as stone benchtops, reverse-cycle air conditioning or a dishwasher. Each one is priced in your quote, so you can see what it adds before you decide.
Builders use the word “turnkey” in different ways, and 2 quotes with the same total can cover very different things. Put the inclusion lists side by side and ask about each of these by name:
If a quote does not name an item, assume it is not in it.
Our guide to turnkey inclusions goes through each one.
Yes. The kitchen, bathroom and flooring are all in the base price.
Changes to service connections are quoted separately, and only where the existing water, sewer, stormwater or power isn’t adequate and needs changing or upgrading. We confirm this in writing after the site inspection.
Yes. You choose your cladding and interior paint colours, and upgrades such as stone benchtops are priced in your quote, so you can see what each one adds before you decide.
