Granny Flats - costs to build flat packs!

Hi All,

I've got an investment property that I wanted to throw a flat pack granny flat into (Western Sydney).

Although they seem cheap ($25k for a 60sqm 2-br pack), I was wondering if anyone has any idea what these things cost to put together (excluding piers or slabs).

Here's a link to what I'm looking at: 2 Bedroom Granny Flat DIY Kit - The Seascape 60 on Gal Chassis - CGI Wall Sheets | eBay

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Don't know...but it's certainly going to be very boxy. Those bedrooms are tiny. and that laundry is beyond tiny . There is also no storage in the property. Anyone puts a wardrobe in those bedrooms and you wont be able to swing a cat. This will impact on how appealing they are to potential tenants. I do Dual Occ's with granny flats at 60M2 and we do 1 bedroom only... see below for an example. We considered 2 bedrooms but it would have ruined the concept, if I'm being completely honest. You have to accept either 2 tiny bedrooms with little or no storage , or a seriously compromised kitchen and living area if you want reasonable bedrooms

Where's the kitchen in the eBay product ? I see a space they have identified as "kitchen" but it doesn't have any carcasses ..I assume you have to install your own? And I assume that you also have to install your own services- plumbing, electrical, gas etc? What about flooring? Windows ? Blinds? Air? Lights? Gpo’s ? Fencing? Doors? Waterproofing and tiling for wet areas, etc... basically you have to do a full fit out in addition to the slab or piers or whatever structural base you use . Not sure how much money you'll save doing things that way...unless you are extremely handy
