Mascot is really two suburbs stacked on one map — the apartment-tower half around the station where a granny flat makes no sense, and the pockets of post-war brick on 300 to 600m² side streets where it can. So the first honest answer here is: it depends heavily on which part of Mascot you're standing in.
If you're on an R4 parcel that's already flagged for towers, a detached second dwelling isn't the play — that land is worth more as redevelopment and you'd be building the wrong thing. If you're on one of the older R2 residential streets with a real backyard, then a secondary dwelling stacks up.
Two site issues follow the suburb around: industrial-legacy contamination on parcels that have been remediated, and the airport flight path overhead. Both are manageable, both need checking before I quote — contamination gets a documented management plan, and habitable rooms get acoustic glazing.
Everything I build here is fixed-price with those checks done first, not assumed. Licence HBL 487805C.

Check the zoning before you fall in love with the idea
Mascot's R4 station precincts are apartment territory. If your block sits there, the smarter move is almost always to hold it as redevelopment stock rather than pour a granny flat onto land that'll be worth more assembled. I'll tell you that plainly rather than take the job.
On the surviving R2 residential streets it's a different story — those 300 to 600m² blocks with a proper yard suit a secondary dwelling, and being this close to the airport and the T8 line the rental demand is genuine.
Contamination and noise, handled properly
A lot of Mascot land has an industrial past. Where a site's been remediated, I work to the contamination management documentation so the build is clean and evidenced — not something you find out about when you go to sell.
The flight path means habitable rooms get acoustic treatment to hit the internal noise levels. Botany Sands underfoot gets a sand-appropriate footing off a geotech. I price both in up front so the fixed number actually holds.
