OUR PROCESS

To commence the qualification and assessment phase for building a granny flat, we need several documents and details from you:

1. The dimensions of your land - your property must have a minimum size of 450 square meters and a minimum frontage of 12 meters.
2. A 10.7 certificate (sections 2 & 5) from your local council, also known as a planning certificate. This document provides information about the planning controls and other property-related information relevant to your block.
3. A sewer diagram to help us understand the location of sewer lines on your property. This is critical information for any construction project to avoid potential damage and costly repairs. You can obtain this from Sydney Water's website (www.sydneywater.com.au).
4. A title search that shows the legal ownership of the property and any restrictions or interests on the title, such as easements or mortgages. This ensures the person proposing the construction is the legal owner and understands any restrictions that might affect the build. You can get this from www.saiglobal.com.

Providing these details will allow us to accurately assess your property and determine the best approach for your granny flat construction.
