Granny Flats Designed for Roselands Blocks
A granny flat builder in Roselands has well-sized blocks to work with — the 1940s to 1970s homes sit on 500 to 700m² lots that clear the 450m² Housing SEPP threshold comfortably for a 60m² secondary dwelling. The Roselands Shopping Centre and good local amenities give a rear dwelling steady tenant demand.
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 older stock commonly carries fibro, so a licensed asbestos strip-out leads where any demolition is involved.
Lakemba station sits about a kilometre out, adding to the tenant pool, and the generous blocks leave room for separate access and private open space. Good amenities plus transport access make this a reliable spot to let a secondary dwelling.

Well-sized blocks, good amenities
Roselands' 500 to 700m² lots clear the 450m² Housing SEPP threshold comfortably, so a 60m² secondary dwelling is achievable on most blocks via the CDC path.
The Roselands Shopping Centre and Lakemba station a kilometre out give a rear dwelling steady tenant demand.
Older stock, moderate clay
The moderately reactive ground means the slab is engineered off a real geotech to suit — calibrated to the actual soil.
The 1940s 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
Most Roselands 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 Roselands block — up to the NSW maximum of 60m². Layout, window placement, kitchen and bathroom positioning optimised for liveability and rental appeal.
⏱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.
⏱OC issued, defect-free inspection completed, keys handed over. Your granny flat is ready to occupy or lease. Well-finished 2-bed units near Lakemba (1 km) are achieving $380–$520/week per week.
