Add Versatile Living Space With a Custom Granny Flat

Create a self-contained granny flat for multigenerational living, rental income, or guest accommodation. Expert design and professional construction tailored to your needs.

What we do

Maximise your property's potential

 A granny flat (minor dwelling) is a versatile, self-contained living space that can serve multiple purposes—providing accommodation for aging parents, creating rental income, or offering guest space. At Strong Builds, we specialise in designing and constructing high-quality granny flats that maximise your property’s potential whilst maintaining compliance with Auckland Council regulations.

Whether you are looking to support multigenerational living, generate additional income, or simply add flexible space to your property, we manage the entire granny flat construction process from initial design through to final handover. Our team ensures your minor dwelling is beautifully designed, fully functional, and compliant with all building and zoning requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Let us answer some of your questions regarding our services and business

1Will a granny flat affect my property's value?

A well-designed, professionally built granny flat typically adds value to your property. It provides flexibility for multigenerational living, rental income potential, or guest accommodation. However, the impact on value depends on the quality of construction and local market conditions. We can discuss this during your consultation.

Yes, most stand-alone buildings require building consent from the Auckland Council. Depending on your property’s zoning and the building’s size and purpose, resource consent may also be required. We handle the entire application process on your behalf.

Yes, granny flats can be rented out, subject to Auckland Council zoning regulations. Some zones allow minor dwellings for rental purposes, whilst others restrict them to family use only. We verify zoning compliance during the planning phase and advise you on rental possibilities.

A typical granny flat construction takes between 3 to 5 months, depending on the size, complexity of the design, and site conditions. We provide a detailed timeline during the quotation phase.
