Building Granny Flats in Holroyd
A granny flat builder in Holroyd works with quiet post-war stock — the 1950s to 1970s homes sit on 450 to 650m² blocks that mostly clear the 450m² Housing SEPP threshold for a 60m² secondary dwelling. Proximity to the Merrylands and Granville centres keeps a rear dwelling lettable to a broad pool of tenants.
The ground is moderately reactive, so the slab is engineered off a real geotech to suit — a proper footing calibrated to the actual soil. The post-war stock commonly carries fibro, so a licensed asbestos strip-out leads where any demolition is involved.
The blocks sit around 450m² at the lower end, so the survey decides it — I check yours against the line first. The quiet residential streets suit a secondary dwelling for extended family, with the same build letting steadily if you want the income.

Quiet post-war blocks
Holroyd's 450 to 650m² lots mostly clear the 450m² Housing SEPP threshold, so a 60m² secondary dwelling is achievable via the CDC path. The lower end sits close to the line, so I check the survey first.

Post-war stock, moderate clay
The moderately reactive ground means the slab is engineered off a real geotech to suit — calibrated to the actual soil.
The post-war 1950s to 1970s stock commonly carries fibro, so a licensed asbestos strip-out leads where demolition is involved.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
We inspect your Holroyd block — lot size (typical 450–650m²), setbacks, services, access, Class M soil check and Cumberland City Council requirements. You'll know if a granny flat is feasible before spending a dollar.
⏱Design phase covers layout, orientation on your Holroyd 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 Cumberland City 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.
⏱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.
⏱Quality Promise
We build Holroyd granny flats that hit the NSW 60m² maximum cleanly. Engineered slab, separate meter, rental-ready at handover.
