We have recently completed a build with Superior Granny Flats, and couldn’t be happier! From initial consult to finalisation, the communication between all teams was calm, clear and constructive. Superior organised all council permits here in Ballarat, and were knowledgeable about the changing laws within Victoria at the time.The design team took our personalised concept drawings, and made these a reality, listening clearly to all the quirks we wanted within the build.We were concerned starting a build, after hearing horror stories that have circulated over the last few years, but have nothing but praise for the team at Superior. On behalf of my family, we would like to thank Simon, Ryan, and all the workers who came on site, for their professionalism and respectful attitude throughout the project.We have already recommended Superior to two friends who are looking to build in the near future.

We recently had a granny flat built by Superior and we couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, the entire process was smooth and professional. The team was always punctual, respectful, and incredibly skilled. They paid great attention to detail, ensuring that every aspect of the build met our expectations.The quality of the workmanship is outstanding. We were particularly impressed with the level of communication throughout the project. We received message weeks ago before the next step started. Any questions or concerns we had were promptly addressed by txt or email.The granny flat was completed on time and within budget, with no unexpected costs. We now have a beautiful space that my family can enjoy for years to come!

From planning to handover, we had an amazing experience. Doug and Simon were so helpful and as soon as we signed on, the process was lightning fast. The building crew led by Paul were fantastic, communicative, warm and friendly, and the site was kept clean with regular rubbish collection. The granny flat is beautiful and so comfortable, and I couldn't be happier! I have no hesitation in recommending Superior. You can't go wrong.

I had a really positive experience with Superior Granny Flats building a unit for my elderly Dad in our back yard. They were really friendly and easy to deal with from the beginning to the end of the process, which went very smoothly and only took about three months. We are very happy with the unit, it looks great and is a really safe and comfortable space for Dad. I would definitely recommend Superior Granny Flats.

Very happy with the build. We went to check out their display and was impressed by what we saw. When we were seriously looking into it, Simon was very helpful. He answered and clarified the questions we raised, suggested some options re rearranging the outlay and included some stuff at no extra cost.The flat was built on site as opposed to the other companies we spoke with.I would highly recommend building with Superior Granny Flats. It was stress free from start to finish.

Superior built me a Granny Flat 300kms north east of Melbourne. Even at that distance nothing was too much trouble for the company. I cannot compliment the Management, staff and subcontractors enough. Everyone was very professional; keeping me informed of progress, answering all my questions, and completing the build to high standard.I would recommend Superior to anyone who is thinking of building a Granny Flat/Cabin etc. Cost wise they even compare very favourably.

We engaged Superior Granny Flats to build a small granny flat and unusually to also renovate concurrently a room that was an enclosed carport - attached to the existing house - and used as a spare storage room.The Granny Flat layout is based on affordable range Option 1 but built to their Superior Range standard. It comprises a large bedroom, more than big enough for a king bed, a bathroom - shower and toilet - with space for a washing machine and dryer and a walk-in-robe. The renovated room consists of one half being a kitchen with space for a fridge, sink, dishwasher, stove and microwave, ample bench space, in addition to cupboard space for pantry and cutlery etc. The other half of the room is a lounge area big enough for 2 recliner chairs and coffee table, a television and split system both mounted on the wall.We elected to do this approach as the size of the block of land was limited, but its location was great for access for shops, schools and transport. The end use was for us (2 people) to use the Granny Flat and the renovated room, the original main house being used by family (2 adults and 2 children).The result is high class. The finishes for both areas are exceptional, especially the internal room as it is unrecognisable from what it was. The team of trades that Superior Granny Flats have are all first rate and were at all times professional and fielded queries about the build.We are very happy with the end result and would highly recommend Superior Granny Flats for any of their wide range of Granny Flats.Peter and Julie

Simon and the crew made purchasing a granny flat for my brother with a disability easy and time effective. Throughout the process I was informed with details on price, permits, plans, progress, completion and follow up. The quality of the granny flat was wonderful. Highly recommended the crew at Superior Granny Flats.

Would definitely recommend Superior Granny Flats! The whole process from the day we walked in, to handover was easy and we were looked after and consulted the whole time. Simon made the whole process easy and adjusted things along the was as we requested. Nothing was too hard! All the team worked so hard to finish the unit and have mum in before Christmas. We are really happy with the finished product and absolutely recommend Superior if you need that extra space.

Massive thank you to Simon and all the tradespeople. They were a dream to deal with through the building process.

We are super happy with the outcome. Highly recommend this company

Our experience with Superior Granny Flats was seamless. Once council planning permits were issued the communication with the team and length of time to implement the build and finishing was very quick. They were happy for me to suggest changes to the colour and finishes. We are extremely happy with the end result.

Great service from the non pressurised sale to actual build. Looked at other companies, as suggested, who just didn’t compare to value & price. Original spec unit wouldn’t fit our backyard & design team helped with modified plan to suit. Tradies were all great to deal with as were Simon & Doug. We’re very happy with our Granny Unit and highly recommend you give Superior a visit.

It was a privilege having our granny flat built by Superior Granny Flats company. We chose a one story flat, located next to a pond, with an amazing view. Thank you Simon and team for the clear communication of every step of the way. Everyone not only had a hard-working work ethic and professionalism, they were all extremely patient and understanding with me considering English isn’t my first language. The quality is excellent and work was done swiftly. We’ve already gotten number of compliments from neighbours, I definitely recommend Superior Granny Flats to anyone looking for a custom home builder with great flexibility in choices, and personalised to one’s own liking.

We had an amazing experience with Superior Granny Flats. Thanks to Doug for starting us off and Simon for carrying us through. Every step of the process is clearly communicated, with updates as you go. All the trades were polite and friendly and were also happy to answer any adhoc questions.We chose the superior range - option 10 with a few modifications, we removed the 2nd bedroom, added the return on the bench, ceiling fans and changed the setup of our main bedroom. You get a lot of autonomy on the finishes and almost nothing is out of the question in terms of customisation. We feel the price is excellent for the finishes and the size and we couldn't be happier with our unit.If you aren't sure whether to take the plunge with a DPU, absolutely talk to Superior Granny Flats. I know I've dropped their name already!

At the back of my house I have a piece of land with spare space, and I have been considering how to utilize it. Having a small cabin at the back would be perfect to allow my mother to move in, so we can be close but have some privacy at the same time. In my research for granny flat builders around Melbourne, I literally visited every ad I could find over a six-month period. It was only after I visited all around the state that I realized Superior granny flats' engagement and communication were superior to everyone else's.It took about 5 months this winter to build Option 12 (Superior range) on their website. It turned out there was a lot more stuff to consider, including insurance, council permits, and building related documents, which I had no idea about or how to prepare for. They were simply champions and got everything ready for you. No matter what the bank tells me about finance or what the council says about the building process, I have never been stuck. Throughout the entire process, the team from the superior granny flat demonstrated their care and availability for me.Even the last step (cleaning) was perfect, so we didn't have much to do before my mother moved in.If you are considering building a granny flat, I highly recommend Superior Granny Flat.
