Frequently Asked Questions

What if the builder does not achieve practical completion of the home within 130 working days?

If the builder does not achieve practical completion of the home within 130 working days (approx. 6 months) from slab down (plus any applicable extensions claimed by the builder), the builder will pay the owner $300 per week (inclusive of GST) into their nominated bank account until practical completion is reached, up to a maximum of 10 weeks.

Is steel frame and Masterwall construction durable long-term?

Yes. Steel frames are highly durable and resistant to common structural issues like movement, shrinking, or water damage. When paired with Masterwall, your granny flat will have a robust exterior built to withstand the elements for decades.

What is Masterwall and how does it work with a steel frame?

Masterwall is a lightweight external cladding system made from insulated EPS panels. It attaches seamlessly to steel framing and is finished with a durable, rendered coating. Together, they create an energy-efficient, strong, and stylish structure.

Do I have enough room for a granny flat?

Whether you need a teen scene, pool house, or room for extra family members, we have a stunning range of granny flat designs to suit a variety of block sizes. Our designs start from 50 square metres and can be as large as 100 square metres. We also offer custom designs to suit you and your block.

Do I need council approval?

Yes, this is something Summit will take care of, ensuring all council approvals are managed efficiently.

My block shape is irregular – is it still possible to build a granny flat?

We offer custom design granny flats to suit your lifestyle needs and block requirements/shape. If you are unsure, our dedicated consultant will be able to visit your site and provide some more information.
