A granny flat builder in Chifley works with a quiet inland pocket in the southern Randwick LGA — post-war fibro and brick on 500 to 700m² blocks. They clear the 450m² Housing SEPP threshold comfortably, so a 60m² secondary dwelling is achievable on most, and with limited heritage stock the fast CDC path is often open — which makes this one of the more straightforward eastern-suburbs suburbs to build in.
The economics stack up here too: Chifley is an affordable entry point in an LGA where rents hold up, so a studio adds genuine yield without the harbour-suburb price tags.
The ground is sandstone, so the slab is conventional and engineered off a geotech. The post-war fibro stock means asbestos is likely in the original home, so a licensed strip-out leads where any demolition is involved.
We build fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Soil and asbestos scoped first.
Buildana manages the full granny flat process in Chifley — from site assessment and CDC fast-track approval through to fixed-price construction and handover. We build studio, 1-bedroom, and 2-bedroom designs up to the NSW maximum of 60m².

Straightforward and affordable
Chifley's 500 to 700m² blocks clear the 450m² Housing SEPP threshold comfortably, so a 60m² secondary dwelling is achievable on most.
With limited heritage stock, the fast CDC path is often open, making it one of the more straightforward eastern suburbs to build in.
Sandstone and fibro
The sandstone ground keeps the slab conventional off a geotech.
The post-war fibro stock means asbestos is likely in the original home, so a licensed strip-out leads where demolition is involved.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
Everything that has to be right before we touch the ground. Most Chifley blocks support a granny flat — the question is where it sits, how it accesses the street, and how it shares the yard with the main house. We work that out on site, with the existing house and existing services in front of us. 1-bed or 2-bed floor plan designed for your Chifley block — up to the NSW maximum of 60m². Layout, window placement, kitchen and bathroom positioning optimised for liveability and rental appeal.
⏱The Chifley construction phase. Fixed price, programmed, supervised. We lodge your CDC application with all required documentation — BASIX, plans, site analysis, stormwater. Private certifier approval in 10–15 business days. CC issued and you're ready to build. 12-week typical timeline for a 60m² 2-bed: slab pour week 1, frame stand weeks 2–3, lock-up week 5, internal fit-out weeks 6–10, finishes and external works weeks 11–12. We provide the dated programme upfront so you can plan move-in or tenant placement.
⏱The job isn't done when the site's clean; it's done when you have keys, certificates and warranties. OC issued, defect-free inspection completed, keys handed over. Your granny flat is ready to occupy or lease. Well-finished 2-bed units near Light Rail Kingsford (3 km) are achieving $650–$1,000/week per week.
