About this design
Some designs get it right without trying to be clever. The Noor is 60m² with 2 bedrooms, living space, porch, bathroom and separate laundry. The dimensions are practical, the flow is logical, and it photographs well too — which matters if you're building it as a rental or secondary income.
Noor is light itself—and light guides. This 60m² design is about clear, confident design decisions. Two bedrooms, proper bathroom and kitchen, built with the kind of clarity that comes from doing this right, not guessing. When you're adding a secondary dwelling to your property, you need someone who actually knows what they're doing.
Not fumbling. Not compromising. Noor is what happens when you build something with that kind of conviction. It's not complicated. It's just done properly.

Upgrade options
Tick what you want — your indicative total updates live. Final fixed price comes back in your formal proposal after a site assessment.
Exterior finish system
Choose the wall system for the external envelope. Pricing below is calculated against this design's external wall area — approximately 88m² (perimeter 38.2m × 2.7m wall height, less 15% for openings). Standard polystyrene-render is included; Hebel, face brick and brick-render are priced as upgrades over standard.
Foamboard polystyrene cladding system finished with cement render and texture coat. Included in the base price — light, fast to install, and the standard exterior on every Buildana granny flat.
Ceiling height
Standard ceiling height is 2.4m. Higher ceilings make small footprints feel larger and lift natural light through windows. Pricing below is calculated against this design's external perimeter 38.2m, covering the extra wall framing, plasterboard, render/cladding and cornice/painting needed to raise the envelope.
Standard ceiling height across all Buildana granny flats — already 100mm taller than the BCA minimum for habitable rooms. Included in the base price.
Doors & highlight windows
Door height and highlight-window upgrades. Tall doors are typically chosen alongside the 2.7m or 3.0m ceiling upgrade so the proportions stay right.
Slim 300 x 600mm highlight windows for natural light to bathrooms, ensuites, hallways, walk-in robes or above kitchen benches. Frosted or clear glazing. $1,100 each, supplied and installed. Pick how many you'd like below.
Premium fitout
Lift the standard spec to higher-end finishes.
Air conditioning
Choose how the granny flat is cooled. The standard living split is included in your base price.
Included as standard. Wall-mount inverter split unit to the living area, sized to the room load.
Outdoor & site
Pricing varies with site conditions, falls, and existing services. Final figures confirmed in writing after a site visit.
Compliance, services & metering
Almost always required for tenanted secondary dwellings. Pre-ticked by default.
Add-on rooms & layout changes
Layout extensions are quoted from your block survey — they may need a fresh CDC/DA pathway.
Common questions
What's the largest single window in the Noor design?
The living window is 2.4m wide as standard — wider than the rest of the range — and runs sill-to-head over a low bench seat option. That's the move that makes Noor read larger than its 60m². The trade-off is more glazing means more BASIX work to keep the 7-star rating; we cover that in the upgrade pack rather than as a separate line item.
Is the Noor BASIX and SEPP-compliant?
Yes. Every Buildana design is built to current BASIX targets (5-star minimum as standard, 7-star available as an upgrade) and within SEPP (Housing) 2021 thresholds (60m² internal, single storey, single secondary dwelling per lot). We run BASIX modelling specific to your block's orientation and shading before lodging — not a generic certificate.
Does the Noor go through CDC or DA?
Almost always CDC (Complying Development Certificate) — that's what SEPP (Housing) 2021 was set up to enable. CDC is faster (10 working days statutory) and cheaper than DA. The Noor only needs DA if your block has heritage overlay, bushfire BAL-29 or above, flood zone, or a council that's opted out of CDC for secondary dwellings. We confirm which pathway applies during the free block check.
What's actually included in the Noor base price?
The base price covers the dwelling itself — slab, frame, roof, exterior cladding, full internal fitout, all standard inclusions listed on this page, plus our fixed builder margin and warranty. What's not in it: site costs (excavation, retaining, rock removal), council/CDC fees, separate metering, BASIX upgrades beyond the minimum, and any structural alterations to the existing main dwelling. Site costs get quoted off a real assessment, not a postcode generic.
