Upgrades for High-Level Finishes

Create a space they’ll love to live in, and one you’ll be proud to offer. Whether you’re renting it out or welcoming family, elevated finishes make all the difference. They show care, help boost rental appeal, and make multi-generational living feel genuinely special, with more lovingly curated spaces that the members of your family will be happy to call their own.

Some examples of these upgraded finishes? Marble look countertops, brushed gold faucets and fixtures, herringbone mosaic bathroom tiles, and more.

Built to Last, Designed to Earn

We believe great design is about much more than using the most expensive materials. It’s about making smart, deliberate choices that deliver lasting results. Every material we use is carefully selected for its durability, visual appeal, and cost-effectiveness, which helps our clients maximise their return on investment without compromising on style or performance.

Whether you’re building to rent or expanding your property for future flexibility, our construction approach focuses on low-maintenance, high-efficiency outcomes that stand the test of time.

What You Can Expect with 5 Star Granny Flat: Knowledgeable, Prompt & Transparent Service

Fast Approvals

We help homeowners and investors get approval fast through CDC developing controls, with plans that meet all relevant building codes and additional local council requirements.

Built Fast

Besides the quality workmanship and clean minimal look across many of our builds, another reason why our clients are so satisfied with the experience of going through us is how fast we turn around granny flat build projects. We get most granny flats up around 3-4 months.

Clear Expectations

You can expect us to show up when we say we will, and start work based on the dates we provide to you. Through our experience of building for many different homeowners and property investors across NSW, we understand what stages of the process can feel like disruption, and we help you prepare with proper notice. We also keep you in the loop with updates, so you know in which stage of your granny flat is in development, always.

Granny Flat sydney builds finished within 3 months

Most of all what sets 5 Star Granny Flats apart is the way we treat every project like it’s our own.

From day one, we’re focused on making your experience easy, reassuring, and free of surprises. Clients consistently praise our honest communication, prompt service, and attention to detail at every stage. Whether it’s navigating council approvals, customising your design, or ensuring every finish is flawless, we go above and beyond to get it right. With hundreds of glowing reviews and a reputation built on trust, quality, and care, it’s no wonder so many of our customers say they wouldn’t build with anyone else.

Need Something Custom?

No two backyards are the same, and neither are the people who live behind them. We’ve seen clients come to us with sloping land, awkward corners, privacy challenges, or very particular ideas about how their space should feel. And we love that. Because design should start with your reality, not a rigid blueprint. Whether you’re building for family, for income, or for something in between, your granny flat deserves more than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Our team brings together decades of practical building experience with a real passion for thoughtful design. We listen. We adapt. And we’ll always tell you what’s worth changing — and what’s best left simple.

Custom Design Flexibility

Sometimes it’s a small shift like moving a window, widening a doorway. Other times it’s a more meaningful redesign, like flipping the layout or adding a second bathroom. We’ll help you weigh the benefits, keep the budget honest, and shape a layout that fits how you want to live, not just what fits on paper.

Council-Compliant Planning

Approvals can feel like a maze. But we’ve walked this path hundreds of times, and we know where the shortcuts and stumbling blocks are. Every custom plan is prepared to align with NSW CDC standards, and we handle the paperwork, submissions, and communication with certifiers so you don’t have to.
