BAL29 Granny Flat Completed in Tumbi Umbi
Jackie and Sean recently added a beautiful 2-bedroom granny flat to their investment property in Tumbi Umbi on the Central Coast, using Acrow Granny Flats. The project, completed in 2023, showcases Acrow’s expertise in delivering high-quality homes even in challenging environments like those with bushfire risks.
The flat, built under DA approval, used the popular Cube design and featured a steel frame and truss construction with screw piers by B&J. Project Manager Dario and Sales Manager Mick ensured a smooth, efficient process, starting from the early planning stages all the way through to the final handover. This home was rented out for $450 per week shortly after completion, demonstrating its immediate value as an investment.
Managing a tricky location and BAL29 requirements
Given the location of the property on a busy main road, the team made some adjustments to the usual schedule, starting early in the morning to manage deliveries and avoid disrupting traffic. This thoughtful planning ensured that the project ran smoothly without delays, a testament to Acrow’s proactive project management.
Aside from minor upgrades like a fixed overhead shower and a glass shelf, the granny flat was built according to standard selections. However, due to its location in a Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) 29 zone, certain changes were made to comply with stringent safety requirements. These included the installation of eave vents, a hardwood subfloor, and aluminium flyscreens. With a BAL 29 rating, homes must be able to withstand increased levels of radiant heat and ember attack, which made these upgrades essential for ensuring the safety and durability of the structure.

Jackie left a glowing 5-star review on Google, reflecting her satisfaction with the build process and Acrow’s service:
“We are so happy with our 2 bedroom Acrow Granny Flat. The whole process was seamless and we were very happy with the way the Acrow team looked after our build right from day 1.
During construction, Dario always made us feel at ease, and we are very grateful for his expertise and experience in managing any situation to ensure it was as stress-free as possible for us.
Dario and the team’s communication was always fantastic. We really appreciated his honesty and ability to sort out any scenario with our best interest in mind.
Overall, we are very happy with our new flat and would 100% build with the Acrow team again. THANK YOU!”
