testimonials We are proud of the services that we provide here at Granny Flat Builders, but why take our word for it? Fast» Lynn St Marys As an investor, it was very important for me to ensure that our builder was honest and had absolute transparency with a 100% fixed price with no nasty surprises during construction. I feel that Granny flat builders nailed this with their attention to detail. We loved their easy site assessment and quoting process all the way through to selecting our finishes at their display centre showroom in Concord West. Once we visited an open home in one of their client's backyards, this made it very easy for us to decide that they were the best builders for us. It was important for me to see what we were paying for. Thanks again for the great customer service and communication throughout the whole process. I was amazed at how easy it was to get this built and I have recommended them to friends and family, as they have done such an extraordinary job in building my granny flat within 8 weeks. I look forward to building my next one with them in a few months. Keep up the great work Granny Flat Builders! Flexible» Scott & Kathy Castle Hill We found that the other companies weren't as flexible as Granny Flat Builders. They were so patient with all the changes we wanted. As owner-occupiers who have not dealt with tradesmen and the building industry before, we were a little nervous at the start. I found George and the Granny Flat Builders team highly professional, informative, friendly, and always willing to answer all our questions. We wanted to custom design our own modern floor plan and high quality finishes suiting our needs and budget. Their easy design, approval and construction process was very transparent and visiting their showroom allowed us to visualise our home. Then it followed on to the building process which was fast, and finished with such high quality. We love the finished product as it feels like a home. We were very happy with our choice in builders and happy to recommend them to anyone who wants a carefree experience. Affordable» Alexia & Paul - Lurnea As investors who work multiple jobs, we didn't have any time to do the running around. Paul and I were so amazed with the smooth, easy process from our first meeting through to design, approvals and the construction stage. It has been a positive experience from the very beginning. We couldn't be happier with the decision to build our granny flat with Granny Flat Builders. We have already recommended them to a few friends but we would like to get in first for our second one.
