Granny Flats FAQs
Q: Do I need engineering plans before you can pour a granny flat slab?
A: Yes, we require your structural engineering layouts and site classifications before starting work.
Because Perth soils range from clean coastal sands to heavy hills clay, having your engineered plans ensures we install the exact slab edge thickening and steel reinforcement mesh specification required to clear your council building permit.
Q: What is the typical thickness for a granny flat concrete foundation?
A: A standard council-compliant residential slab is engineered to a baseline thickness of 100mm, utilizing high-grade 25 or 32 MPa concrete. To handle structural load distribution safely, we incorporate integrated internal footings and perimeter slab edge thickening reinforced with heavy-duty steel trench mesh.
Q: Do I need a compaction certificate for a granny flat slab?
A: Yes, local Perth councils strictly require a structural compaction certificate before any residential concrete foundation can be poured. Our team coordinates a qualified geotechnical technician to perform a penetrometer test on your prepped pad, certifying that the sand base meets strict Australian Standards (AS2870) so your build easily passes council building permits.
Q: What is the maximum size allowed for a granny flat in WA?
A: The standard maximum internal floor area allowed for a secondary or ancillary dwelling in Western Australia is 70 square metres. This 70sqm cap strictly applies to the internal walls and livable spaces. External additions—such as custom concrete patios, carports, open verandas, or outdoor alfrescos—can generally be constructed separately without counting toward that primary size limit.
Q: Can I legally rent out a granny flat to regular tenants in Perth?
A: Yes, West Australian property laws allow homeowners to rent out granny flats to private, non-family tenants under standard residential tenancies agreements. Because of Perth's exceptionally competitive rental market, pouring an independent, high-grade secondary foundation has become one of the fastest methods for local property investors to generate immediate additional income streams
