Canberra Granny Flat Builders and Fixed Price Extensions - Builders Canberra

We had our 2 bedroom Granny Flat built by Canberra Granny Flat Builders, their process is faultless and exactly as they promote. Their advice prior to building was exceptional and profesional to the very last detail, their fixed price promotion is clear to understand and true to their word, no hidden agendas’. the approval process was seamless and a few issues identified at handover were rectified swiftly. It didn’t stop there, we put a claim in after 4 years of completion and the issue was rectified to our complete satisfaction. We will be undertaking major renovations to our primary residence in the near future and will look no further than Canberra Granny Flat Builders. We have recommended CGFB to our friends and highly recommend them as a highly professional and competent building company.

We are exceedingly happy with the service provided by Granny Flat Builders who built a granny flat for us. At all stages they were responsive to questions, they provided as much information we required and most importantly to us allowed us to have full control over building choices. As a result, the flat is exactly what we wanted and built to a high standard to the most minute details. We are more than happy to recommend them.

In 2018-19 we engaged Canberra Granny Flat Builders (CGFB) to construct a one bedroom studio flat in our backyard. Nick Constable and the crew at CGFB were thoroughly professional and attentive to our needs and aspirations. They led us through the planning and approvals process and dealt with planning authorities on our behalf, and basically took all the pain away. They were happy to prepare a quote based on our own design, which meant we got exactly what we wanted. We were in constant communication with Nick and his 'go-to man' Matt, and CGFB were ready and willing to solve any problem. Nick is a stickler for 'doing things right', and the project pretty much kept to schedule with very little in the way of 'down time' and no corners cut. Nick is also a strong advocate for minimising waste and using the most environmentally effective materials and methods. CGFB use skilled, reliable subcontractors with whom they have a strong, positive relationship (in fact we have used some of these same tradesmen for other projects). This means no buck-passing and, when problems arise, they are fixed. Our relationship with CGFB, the quality of the workmanship, and Nick's attention to project management and quality control all combined to make this build a very positive experience. I could not recommend CGFB more highly.

We had an awesome experience with CGFB. They were professional and efficient from design to construction. We were lucky that we beat the COVID supply issues, but the weather hampered construction. But that was the only issue we had that they couldn’t fix. Everything else they were onto in no time. The team worked hard and made you feel like you were their only client. There are so many wonderful members of the team we dealt with which made for a pleasant experience and we LOVE the finished product. Our home now has that extra space and comfort for both family living and entertaining. Thanks guys!! 💖

I had a fantastic experience with Canberra Granny Flat Builders. The design was perfect for my needs and the onsite team were friendly, flexible and professional. It is now almost two years since the end of construction and I continue to be delighted with the new secondary residence on my block. I thoroughly recommend CGFB to anyone considering building a secondary residence or extension.

Frank and Nick were great to deal with, very responsive with any issues that arose. Dissappointed we couldnt get the renovations done through CGFB as that was not what they speciallised in at the time. Also dissappointed that some small details were left off the plans which myself and wife had no idea about. (old hallways and arch ways werent 'in the scope') we got these issues sorted with minimal fuss and are thoroughly enjoying the house extensions.

Yesterday I completed an initial meeting and design planning with Frank Walmsley and the team at Canberra fixed price extensions and granny flat builders.
My project is a second storey extension above garage, suitable as a seperate dwelling in Gungahlin.
While I’m not sure if I will continue with the project at this stage due to setback restrictions, I really want to take the opportunity to commend Frank.
I entered the meeting with trepidation, but found Frank to be open, friendly and very knowledgeable on design ideas and Canberra planning approvals.
He was also able to think laterally, giving me new ideas to ponder.
Their planning processes seems very professional and aimed at assuring council approval.
Finally, There was no financial obligations on my part and I didn’t feel pressured at any time.
As such, I would definitely recommend Frank and his team to friends and family.
Thanks

They are the best builder in Canberra if not in the whole Australia.

Everyone understands building a house is not an easy task especially during the Covid time. A good builder does not mean they do not make any mistake. As long as they are human being, they do make mistakes somethings.

But what I can say (base on my experience with them) is that they ALWAYS fix those errors and mistakes in a proper way even some problems are out of their control.

Nick and the Team at Canberra Granny Flat Builders are genuine and professional. Finally a construction company that take the stress out of building your investment. I have dealt with many builders and construction teams over the past 25 yrs in Canberra
It has truly been a pleasure to deal with Nick and the team. They are always focused on improving quality and making the process enjoyable while staying on budget.
Their designs are great for the Granny Flat, your second residence, your weekender or a holiday cabin.

I have been working with Nick and the team at Canberra Granny Flat Builders for over 10 years and it has been a pleasure. From the beginning from doing only a few flats a year through to now doing approx 30 -40 annually. the process has remained the same. Organised in advanced and on schedule. A quality product delivered on time with little too no fuss along the way. I could not recommend them any higher if you're looking for a second residence in your backyard.

Frank Walmsley has gone beyond the call of duty in providing professional and timely advice in assisting our inquiries concerning the buying of property here in Canberra. His no-nonsense tailored approach and willingness to help have been exceptional. Frank is an excellent communicator. If you want advice on property values, what you can legally build regarding extensions and renovations, I recommend Frank and his team at CGFB.

We have been subcontracting to Canberra Granny Flat Builders for a few years now and must say the professionalism and organisation from their end is fabulous! It makes our job very easy to work along side them and no question ever goes unanswered, they have a very professional and friendly team.

We went to CGFB wanting an 8* energy-rating flat that we could live in when my husband retires. Not something they had done before. They not only patiently, but enthusiastically, incorporated all the special materials and fixtures we wanted, and they made their own suggestions to deliver a very comfortable and liveable 8*-rated flat. The workmanship was top-notch and any problem, no matter how small, was followed up almost immediately. The result is stunning. Thank you Nick and company.

I have worked with Nick and his team for 8 years now and seen the business grow into a well organised structure.
The tradesman that work on the granny flats are all ahead of the game where detail is concerned.
My mother in law has also had a granny flat installed at their place by Nick in cook and it is now a dual occy paying itself off.
Totally recomend Canberra Granny Flat Builders

It's true, CGFB's tradespeople are the very best! Frank and Nick love what they do, were always responsive to my questions - not that there were many because they managed everything. I would not hesitate to engage their services again😊

We had an extension/granny flat built. Happy to use them again. The open communication and integrity of Mick was beyond reproach.

We were pleased with the design options available and having chosen one were delighted with finished product after a stress free building phase which was on time and on budget. Courteous and patience of the management and tradesmen were much appreciated.

Can't recommend CGFB highly enough. Brilliant job, on time, on budget, high quality and the team were professional, helpful and friendly. Many thanks.

We are currently in a design process with CGFB. The process so far has been smooth, and their designer is very attentive to detail.

A genuinely caring and helpful attitude to a non client who was in need of advise, very impressive and not common in today’s world.
