Thinking about a granny flat, studio or tiny home in your backyard? Before you spend tens of thousands, get clear answers on what will fit, what it will cost and what your council is likely to require. Our design consult gives you a practical plan you can act on, whether you build with Woodland Living or not.
What you get
A site visit or video call (around 90 minutes) to walk your block, talk through how you'll use the space and spot any challenges early.
A custom layout sketch showing the floor plan, placement on your block and how it connects to the main house.
A rough cost estimate covering the kit, construction, site works and connections, so there are no surprises later.
Planning and approvals advice on setbacks, size limits, bushfire (BAL) ratings and what your council is likely to require.
A written summary of everything we discussed, with clear next steps.
Who it's for
Homeowners adding space for family, ageing parents or adult kids
Investors looking at rental income from a second dwelling
Anyone wanting a home office, studio or guest retreat
People who aren't sure yet whether their block or budget will work

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to buy a kit afterwards? No. The plan is yours to keep and use however you like.
Do you come to my property? Yes, within our service area. Elsewhere, we run the consult by video using photos and your site plan.
Is this a formal council submission? No. It's a feasibility and design session. If you go ahead, we can help you with drawings and approvals as the next step.
