A granny flat builder in Carnes Hill has to check your lot size first, because this is a modern growth suburb with compact blocks. The 2010s homes sit on 350 to 500m² lots, and the Housing SEPP needs 450m² for a 60m² secondary dwelling as complying development, so the larger Carnes Hill lots qualify while a chunk of the smaller ones fall short of the fast track. I would rather check that on your survey than promise a CDC that does not apply.
On the blocks that do clear 450m², the modern estate infrastructure is already in, so services and stormwater are rarely the drama they are on older suburbs, and there is no fibro to strip. The ground carries reactive clay to design the slab against off geotech.
What I check first on your Carnes Hill block: whether the survey clears 450m² for the CDC path, the rear-yard access and setbacks on the compact lot, and the slab off geotech. Those decide the pathway.

Modern lots and the 450m² line
Carnes Hill was built with compact modern lots, and at 350 to 500m² whether you clear the 450m² Housing SEPP threshold varies block to block. The larger lots qualify for a 60m² secondary dwelling as complying development; the smaller ones fall short and need a council DA, which is still possible but slower. So the first thing I do is check your actual survey area rather than assume.
On a compact lot, the rear-yard access and setbacks need real planning to fit the granny flat with proper separation, so the design matters more here than on a big established block.
Clean estate builds
On a qualifying Carnes Hill block the build is clean: services are already in, stormwater is designed for the estate, and there is no fibro to strip. The reactive clay gets a properly engineered slab off geotech. The growing community and the marketplace nearby support the rent on a secondary dwelling, so on a lot that clears 450m² the granny flat stacks up.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
Granny flats get underestimated. A lot of builders treat them as a kit-home product. We don't. Your Carnes Hill block has a main dwelling, a driveway, service connections, trees, and neighbours — the secondary dwelling gets designed around those realities.
⏱The 60m² SEPP cap is not a suggestion. Every millimetre gets used — kitchen, bathroom, laundry, living, bedroom, storage — with the envelope tuned for Carnes Hill's sun and prevailing breeze. Real rooms, not compromise spaces.
⏱CDC gets lodged through a private certifier the week design locks in. 10–15 business days later, slab starts. The trades sequence tight because the footprint is small — one plumber, one sparkie, one tiler, one programme.
⏱Handover gives you a genuinely rentable second home. Separate meter, independent hot water, standalone bathroom, full kitchen. Ready to lease on handover day, not a 'studio' that needs another $20K of finishing.
