Things we check before you choose

  • Crane and truck access. The module arrives on a truck and is lifted over the house or down the side. Most Perth blocks are fine; we check yours on the site visit.
  • Setbacks and open space. The R-Codes decide how close to the boundary the flat can go and how much of your block stays open.
  • Services. Where your sewer, water and power are and how far they are from the flat.
  • Bushfire areas. If your lot is bushfire-prone, the design has to meet its BAL rating.

Common questions

Can you change a layout?

Yes. Most designs can be adjusted, for example mirroring the plan, changing window positions or finishes. Bigger changes are possible but can add time and cost, and we tell you before you commit.

Do patios and decks count towards the 70 m²?

Generally no. The WA limit applies to the granny flat's plot ratio area, which is roughly its internal floor area. Decks and verandahs are usually not counted.
