Custom Granny Flat Builder in Sydney
Turn unused backyard space into family accommodation, rental income or long-term property value with a custom-built granny flat by an experienced Sydney residential builder.
Direct access to the builder, not a call centre
With PJ Ward Construct, you deal directly with the builder managing your project, not a rotating project manager or a call centre. We provide practical advice, honest feasibility guidance and a custom building approach based on your property, budget and long-term goals. With a lean, owner-managed structure and no large showroom operation, we keep the process simple and focused on the project itself.
We're not a large showroom-based granny flat company.
And that's the point. There's no sales team, no display models and no fixed catalogue, only custom-designed builds shaped around your site, delivered with the attention a smaller, focused operation can give each job.

More than just extra space
A granny flat can be more than just extra space. For many Sydney homeowners, it can provide a second income stream, support family living arrangements and improve the long-term usability of the property.
Extra Rental Income
A self-contained secondary dwelling can open up a second income stream from your existing block.
Family Accommodation
Comfortable, independent space for ageing parents, adult children or extended family, close to home.
Better Use of Unused Backyard Space
Turn an underused corner of the yard into a functional, income-generating or livable space.
Long-Term Property Appeal
A well-built secondary dwelling can add long-term value and appeal to your property.
Is your property suitable for a granny flat?
Many NSW granny flats may be suitable for the CDC pathway if the property and proposed design meet the required planning standards. We'll carry out an initial desktop feasibility review of your property, looking at zoning, lot characteristics and any obvious planning or site constraints.
Factors that can affect feasibility
This initial review is preliminary. Final feasibility is subject to detailed planning, design, site investigations and certification requirements.
