Let's be honest about a granny flat in Gordon. On 800 to 1,200m² blocks worth $2.8M to $4.2M, nobody is building a secondary dwelling to chase weekly rent — it's guest accommodation, a studio, a teenager's retreat, or keeping a parent close. The lot clears the 450m² Housing SEPP threshold several times over, so size is never the question here.
The question is heritage. Gordon's Federation and inter-war streets around the station sit inside Heritage Conservation Areas, and that's the first thing I check — a secondary dwelling near a heritage item or in a conservation area usually goes through a full DA rather than the fast CDC path, and the design has to answer the main house.
The soil grades Class M on the ridge, so the slab is conventional and engineered off a geotech. The real work is the approval strategy and building a dwelling worthy of the address.
We build to the standard the address demands, fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. We scope the heritage before design starts.
Buildana manages the full granny flat process in Gordon — 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.

Not a yield play
On 800 to 1,200m² blocks worth $2.8M to $4.2M, a secondary dwelling in Gordon is guest accommodation, a studio or multigenerational space — not a weekly-rent play. The lot clears the 450m² Housing SEPP threshold several times over.
That means the design can be generous and beautifully sited rather than squeezed. Size is never the constraint here.
Heritage decides the path
Gordon's Federation and inter-war streets around the station sit inside Heritage Conservation Areas, so a secondary dwelling usually goes through a full DA rather than the fast CDC path.
I scope the heritage first, then design a dwelling that answers the main house. The Class M ridge soil keeps the slab conventional off a geotech.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
We inspect your Gordon block — lot size (typical 800–1,400m²), setbacks, services, access, Class M soil check and Ku-ring-gai Council requirements. You'll know if a granny flat is feasible before spending a dollar.
⏱Design phase covers layout, orientation on your Gordon block, bathroom and kitchen placement, natural light, privacy screening, and entry path. You approve the design before we move to certification.
⏱Approval pack lodged with our preferred private certifier (Buildana works with several across the Ku-ring-gai area). They've reviewed our designs before, know our documentation standard, and turn approvals around at the fast end of the legislated window.
⏱Construction runs 10–16 weeks from slab pour. Class M engineered slab, timber or steel frame, Colorbond roof, full internal fit-out, and separate service connections. Weekly updates from your project manager.
⏱Handover documentation includes everything you need to list with a property manager: OC, BASIX, structural cert, appliance manuals, separate metering details. Photos for the listing taken before furniture goes in. Most Gordon GFs lease within 2 weeks.
