A smoother granny flat renovation process
With our experienced Renovation Consultants executing our streamlined 5-step process, you’ll enjoy a stress-free and enjoyable granny flat renovation.
Step 1
Briefing / Initial Consultation
The initial consultation with your Renovation Consultant is an opportunity for you to clearly define your goals, budget, and timeline while discussing your home office design ideas. This is an essential step to help manage expectations. So, whatever your ideal space looks like, let us know! From soundproofing to built-in storage, no detail is too big or small.
Step 2
Concept and Feasibility
With a clear understanding of what you want, your Renovation Consultant will then arrange for concept designs to be drawn up. This will determine how feasible your ideas are and presents the perfect opportunity to make key alterations to the design. You’ll see your home office take shape so you can envision what the end result is and make any necessary changes.
Step 3
Working Drawings and Costing
Next, working drawings will be developed; these are more technical and take into account logistical factors such as structural engineering. Making changes during this final planning stage avoids extra expenses and delays down the road once building has already commenced. Once you’re happy with the plans, your Renovation Consultant will provide you with a fixed quote and contract for you to sign off on the proposed work.
Step 4
Build / Construction Stage
This is the stage you get to see your vision and planning brought to life. Continued support from your Renovation Consultant during this phase enables you to continue with your daily routine with minimal disruptions. Any bumps in the road will be addressed head-on and clearly communicated to you so your project remains on schedule and within budget.
Step 5
Your Finished Renovation
The last step before handing over your finished granny flat is to ensure all Code of Compliance documentation is in order. Your Renovation Consultant will prepare all of the appropriate documents that prove your renovation has been completed up to code. Once that is settled, your renovation is done!
