About
Planners who design granny flats
Flat Grannys is the granny flat studio of PlanLand, a NSW planning and building design consultancy based in Gymea, in Sydney’s Sutherland Shire.
Most granny flat companies are builders who draw plans to sell a build. We work the other way round: we check what the planning rules allow on your block, design inside them, and hand you drawings you own and can take to any builder.
We publish our fees because a granny flat decision is a budget decision. You should know what the design and approval cost before you call anyone.
