Sefton Granny Flat Construction — Fixed Price
Tenants choose Sefton for one reason a landlord should love: the station is right there. A granny flat within walking distance of Sefton's own stop rents at $380 to $520 a week and does not sit empty, because rail access at this price point, medians run $950K to $1.15M, is getting scarce across Sydney. Post-war homes on 500 to 700m² blocks supply the backyard space.
Class M soil means conventional slab engineering, and the block sizes clear the 450m² SEPP threshold across most streets, so CDC fast-track approval is a live option rather than a maybe. Renewal demand is already lifting the suburb.
What I would check first on a Sefton block: the walk to the station, the Class M slab, and CDC eligibility. Those set the plan.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
Free on-site assessment of your Sefton property. We measure setbacks, check existing services, assess access, and confirm your 500–700m² block meets Canterbury-Bankstown Council's requirements for a secondary dwelling.
⏱60m² sounds tight on paper but designs well — high ceilings, good cross-ventilation, smart storage, and proper bedroom proportions make a 2-bed feel generous. We design for daily liveability, not just floor plan compliance.
⏱CDC fast-track through a private certifier — typically approved in 10–15 business days. Sefton is zoned R2 Low Density.
⏱Your granny flat is built from slab to keys in a single programme. Engineered slab for Class M soil, frame, lock-up, fit-out, painting, flooring, and external works.
⏱Defect-free inspection means we don't hand over a list to chase — every snag is fixed before keys move. Final clean, electrical and plumbing tested, smoke alarms certified, BASIX commissioning verified.
⏱Quality Promise
Sefton granny flat construction done to a schedule. CDC lodged, slab poured, handover complete — on one fixed-price contract.
