Backyard granny flat

The briefAn investment property with a backyard, but the owner wasn't sure what they could build. There was a large tree, a sewer line and a site falling to the rear.

1. 01Site Potential Assessment

   Assessed the site's tree, sewer line and fall to the rear, and worked out what could be built to lift the rental yield.

2. 02Development Planning & Coordination

   Managed the approval, and coordinated the engineering and certification.

3. 03Builder Selection & Contract Review

   The client didn't know the local builders. We evaluated quotes from several, handled the correspondence, recommended a preferred builder and reviewed the contract.

4. 04Independent Construction Oversight

   Supervised the build at each hold point and checked every claim before the client paid. On time and on budget.
