We design, approve, and build granny flats and secondary dwellings across Sydney. Self-contained living, rental income, family accommodation. Properly built, not a kit home bolted together.
A granny flat is one of the best investments a Sydney homeowner can make. Rental income, family accommodation, a home office, or future-proofed downsizing, all from underused backyard space. But a granny flat is a real building that needs proper engineering, compliant construction, council approval, and quality finishes.
METCON builds granny flats as proper self-contained dwellings, with full kitchens, bathrooms, living areas, and bedrooms. Every granny flat is engineered, council-approved (typically via CDC), and built to the same standard as a new home.
Whether it's a studio for a young adult, a one-bedroom flat for rental income, or a two-bedroom dwelling for ageing parents, we design and build it to last, not as a temporary afterthought.
If any of these sound familiar, it is worth a free site visit. We will tell you straight what your site needs.
A well-built granny flat in Sydney can generate $400-600+ per week in rental income, a genuine return on investment.
Ageing parents, adult children, or extended family can live close but independently with their own self-contained space.
Remote work needs proper space. A detached backyard studio provides separation, quiet, and professionalism.
Build the granny flat now, move into it later, and rent out the main home. A long-term lifestyle plan in one build.
In NSW, blocks of 450m² or more can typically accommodate a secondary dwelling up to 60m² under CDC provisions.
A compliant, well-built granny flat adds genuine value to your property, both in rental yield and resale price.

From compact studios to full two-bedroom dwellings, we build granny flats designed for how they'll actually be used.
Self-contained one-bedroom granny flats with kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and living area. The most popular configuration for rental income and family accommodation.
Larger granny flats with two bedrooms for families, shared living, or higher rental returns. Designed to maximise the allowable 60m² floor area.
Compact open-plan studios with integrated kitchen and bathroom. Ideal for single occupants, home offices, or short-term rental accommodation.
Secondary dwellings attached to the main home but with separate access and self-contained facilities. Suits blocks where detached isn't feasible.
Granny flats designed with accessibility features, level access, wider doorways, accessible bathrooms, and adaptable layouts for ageing in place.
Full service connections including separate metering for water, electricity, and gas where required. Sewer and stormwater properly connected.
A selection of recent granny flats projects across Sydney.
View all projectsEvery granny flat follows our structured five-step process. From planning check to key handover, one builder manages the entire build.
We check your block against council planning controls, lot size, setbacks, floor space ratio, and access requirements. You know upfront whether it's possible.
We design the granny flat to suit your block and needs. CDC (Complying Development Certificate) or DA submission managed through to approval. BASIX included.
Site preparation, excavation, service trenching, and foundation works. All connections coordinated before the building goes up.
Your granny flat is built from slab to finishes. Framing, cladding, roofing, waterproofing, plumbing, electrical, and complete fit-out. One builder, one contract.
Final inspections, occupation certificate, and full documentation. Your granny flat is ready for occupation, whether that's family, tenants, or yourself.
Council approval, structural engineering, compliance certificates, and quality construction. A granny flat built to the same standard as your main home.
Kit homes and flat-pack granny flats cut corners. We build them properly. Engineered, council-approved, and constructed as a genuine dwelling, because that's what a granny flat actually is.
Every granny flat is structurally engineered, not a standard kit applied regardless of site conditions.
CDC and DA applications managed from design to approval. We know what's required and we get it done.

Real reviews from homeowners, strata and builders.
I called three builders and METCON were the only ones who actually came to look at the site before quoting. Honest pricing, no surprises.
We got three quotes. METCON was not the cheapest but was clearly the most thorough. Worth every dollar.
They handled the DA, the engineer, and the build. We didn't have to chase council once. Massive wall, done in under two weeks.
Straight answers from the builder. Anything else, just ask.
It depends on the scope. Typical durations:
We provide a detailed project timeline with your quote so you know exactly what to expect.
In many cases, home extensions and granny flats can be approved through a Complying Development Certificate (CDC), which is faster than a full DA.
This depends on factors like your property's zoning, heritage overlays, flood mapping, bushfire risk and the scope of the work.
We handle the approval process and can advise you on the fastest path to getting your project started.
In most cases, yes. For smaller renovations like bathrooms or kitchens, you can usually stay in the home.
For major structural works, first floor additions or knock-down rebuilds, you may need to move out temporarily. We will advise you during the planning stage and do everything we can to minimise disruption.
Every METCON quote is fully itemised and includes:
There are no hidden costs. What we quote is what you pay, unless you request changes to the scope.
We cover the full scope of residential work with one licensed team.
