Join the growing wave of individuals considering the construction of a granny flat as a modern solution amidst the soaring cost of living. Recognising the booming popularity of these versatile living spaces, Acrow is here to guide you through a cost-effective and streamlined process that is tailored to your construction needs. Entering 2024, what better way to kickstart the year than by ticking off one of your new year’s resolutions and embarking on the construction of your very own granny flat! Acknowledging that this decision carries significant responsibility, we, at Acrow, aim to make the entire process seamless, offering support at every step of the way. In this article, we’ll navigate through our personalised 4-step process, making the construction of your granny flat an efficient and personalised experience.
1.Consultation
At Acrow, our construction process begins with a pivotal focus on consultation. Before any tools are lifted, engaging with our clients stands as the cornerstone of crafting their dream granny flat space. Our commitment transcends mere construction; we strive to collaborate with you, tailoring a personalised space that aligns with your unique personal and/or family requirements. The consultation phase is of utmost importance to us, as we are able to ensure a mutual understanding and alignment on your goals before embarking on the construction stage.
Uncertain about the design or specifics for your upcoming granny flat? No worries! Drawing from extensive experience in diverse granny flat projects, we offer valuable advice and creative ideas to tailor the space to your needs and desires. Ready to get started? Reach out to us via a phone call – we’re always available for your service. Whether discussing details over a call or meeting in person for a coffee to explore potential ideas, we’re always here to address your needs comprehensively. Following the initial consultation, we go the extra mile with a complimentary inspection of your land, reinforcing our commitment to a thorough and personalised construction experience.
2.Approvals
After initial contact with our clients and understanding their requirements, the next stage in the 4-step process is to navigate through the approvals phase. While this step may seem daunting, fear not! At Acrow, we handle it for you. We take charge of preparing all necessary paperwork and ensure compliance with all requirements and controls, guaranteeing a stress-free experience for all of our clients. With years of expertise in obtaining private certifier and local council approvals, we navigate through regulations and paperwork on your behalf.
Upon submission, the expected approval timeline for Complying Development is approximately 2 to 3 weeks, though it may vary based on the private certifier providing certification and your project’s scale. The timeline for a Development Application through your local council can vary based on a project’s individual circumstances. Our focus is on simplifying the approval process for you, placing the complexities of approval requirements all in the hands of Acrow.
During this period, we will also begin the exciting process of selecting your colour palette for your new granny flat. You’ll be invited to experience our Acrow showroom, where our experienced Colour Consultant will work closely with you to put your creative vision into life. We prioritise transparent communication at every step, ensuring you are informed about the progress and stage of your project at all times.
3.Construction
With approval in hand, we transition to the celebratory construction stage! Excitement brews as we coordinate a timeline tailored to your preferences, typically spanning from 10-12 weeks depending on the scale of your granny flat. Your designated project manager, a key point of contact, will organise a commencement date post-approval. From that point, the ball is in our court, dedicated to not just meeting, but exceeding your expectations throughout the construction phase. We’re confident that our construction expertise will leave you among the ranks of our delighted customers, all attesting to the excellent execution of our building phase.
4.Relationship management
As construction concludes, it’s well and truly time to celebrate with a champagne pop! However, at Acrow, the end of the project doesn’t mark our disappearance from your radar. Far from it – our commitment extends from project completion into the foreseeable future. We remain your go-to for all of your investment property enquiries and solutions. The significance of this phase lies not just in the physical completion of your granny flat, but instead in the establishment of an ever-lasting professional relationship. From this point forward, Acrow is merely a phone call away, ready to address any concerns or enquiries related to your current or future granny flat projects.
Confident in our 4-step process, we assure you of the best results for your project. Just like our numerous satisfied clients, embarking on a construction journey with Acrow ensures a tailored experience that exceeds and meets the unique needs of your granny flat requirements.
