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.

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.

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.

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.

We had Superior build our Granny flat for our daughter. It’s really not a Granny flat though, it’s more of a 2 bedroom unit. The whole process was very easy, didn’t have to deal with any permits or council. All the trades that were involved were friendly, professional and respectful of our main space. Simon our Project Manager gave us great support and service. I highly recommend Superior to anyone looking down the Granny Flat path!

We could not be happier with the Granny flat that we had built by Superior. It is perfect for our needs, well built, and surprisingly well appointed, given it was from their affordable range. The build time was as promised, with their supervisor (Simon) and his crew keeping us well informed of the comings and goings of the various subcontractors. As we were based interstate during the build, this made life easy. I have no hesitation in recommending Superior.
