Point Piper Granny Flat Construction — Fixed Price
A granny flat builder in Point Piper is a rare call, but the blocks make it possible where the heritage allows. Lots here run 600 to 2,500m², so the 450m² minimum for a secondary dwelling is never the constraint. On land worth $15M and up, a second dwelling is less a rental play and more a discreet guest pavilion, a studio, or quarters set into the grounds of a harbourside estate.
The controls are the whole story. Every street sits in a Heritage Conservation Area, the land falls to the harbour on sandstone, and the Foreshore Building Line governs anything near the water. So a secondary dwelling here is a considered piece of architecture that answers the main house and the setting. It is not a project-home box dropped on the lawn.
What I would check first: the heritage status of the address, where the Foreshore line sits, and how the fall and the rock shape where a second dwelling can even go. Those decide feasibility before design.
We build these privately and to standard, fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Send us the address and we will tell you whether a secondary dwelling works on your grounds and what the heritage and foreshore rules allow.
Buildana manages the full granny flat process in Point Piper — 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.

Here a second dwelling is a pavilion, not a box
The blocks are big enough that size never stops a secondary dwelling in Point Piper. What it becomes instead is a question of taste and setting. On an estate at this level a second dwelling is a guest pavilion, a studio, or quarters, designed to sit with the main house and the harbour grounds rather than compete with them.
That means it is architect-led work, detailed and discreet, not a catalogue granny flat. The value here is in how quietly and well it sits, which is a different brief entirely from the standard backyard build.
Heritage, foreshore and rock decide where it goes
Every street is in a Conservation Area, so any new structure answers to the heritage setting. The land falls to the harbour on sandstone, so siting a second dwelling often means rock work and retaining. And near the water the Foreshore Building Line controls how close you can build at all.
We map those three against your title before design, because on these grounds they decide where a second dwelling can physically and legally sit. Send us the address and we will give you the honest read.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
Site visit to your Point Piper block to check feasibility — lot dimensions, sewer and stormwater locations, driveway access, and Woollahra Municipal Council's setback and landscape requirements. Written feasibility report within 3 business days.
⏱Design pulls from a library of plans we've refined over years of Point Piper-area builds, then adapts to your specific block constraints. Faster than starting from scratch, better than buying a stock plan that doesn't suit the site.
⏱Most Point Piper granny flats qualify for CDC — faster and simpler than DA. Buildana prepares all documentation, lodges with the certifier, and obtains the Construction Certificate.
⏱Construction in your back yard means coordinating site access, material delivery, and trade movement around the existing house. Buildana plans the build to keep main-house disruption to a few hours per week, not constant noise and dust.
⏱Final inspection, Occupation Certificate, keys, and maintenance guide. Ready for tenants or family.
