In-house joinery. Full approval management. Sydney delivery. We handle the certifier, the CDC pathway, and every cabinet from our own workshop — so you get a secondary dwelling that's actually worth building.
Indicative sizes and starting prices below. Every build is priced to your specific site, council zone, and finishes — these are starting points, not fixed quotes.
All prices are indicative starting points for standard complying development on a flat, accessible lot. Site conditions, finishes selection, slope, access constraints, and council zone affect final pricing. You'll receive a fixed-price proposal after your site visit — no moving targets.
Under NSW SEPP (Affordable Rental Housing), secondary dwellings up to 60sqm on lots of 450sqm or more can be approved as Complying Development — bypassing the DA queue entirely and getting a private certifier's tick in as little as 10 business days. Standard setback requirements apply (3m rear, side setbacks per the SEPP). Antco Fitouts manages the full CDC pathway: site assessment, documentation, certifier engagement, and approval — handled before a slab is poured.

Our 1-bed and 2-bed packages sit right at this limit
We assess setback compliance before any work begins
No council queue. No six-month DA wait.
Heritage zones and flood-affected sites may require a full DA — we'll assess your site upfront.
Every Antco Fitouts granny flat includes these as standard. The joinery is made in our own workshop — not sourced from a flat-pack catalogue.
Every cabinet, every shelf, every drawer made in our own workshop. Not IKEA. Not a joinery subcontractor. Our workshop. That's why our fits are precise, our timelines hold, and the finishes last.
DA-approved 60m² studio, council compliant, 10-week build. Suspended slab over sloped site, custom joinery throughout.
View project →SEPP compliant 55m² studio in a heritage conservation area. Council signed off first time. Custom loft joinery.
View project →From CDC approval to handover, expect 10–14 weeks for a standard build. A Studio on a straightforward site runs closer to 10 weeks. A 2-bedroom on a sloped lot or one requiring a DA can push to 16–18 weeks. We give you a programme milestone plan before work starts — and we hold it.
Most Sydney secondary dwellings under 60sqm on lots over 450sqm qualify for Complying Development — which means a private certifier, not council. We assess your site and handle the entire approval process. Heritage zones and flood-affected lots may require a full DA; we'll tell you upfront before you've committed to anything.
Yes. Secondary dwellings approved under NSW SEPP (Affordable Rental Housing) can be rented independently. Rental yields on Sydney granny flats are typically $400–$650/week depending on suburb and finish quality. We can walk you through the occupancy rules at your site assessment.
Both. Detached secondary dwellings are the most common — separate structure in the backyard. Attached configurations (ground floor addition, converted garage) are also possible depending on your site and zoning. We've built both; the approval pathway is the same.
Typical Antco Fitouts payment schedule: 10% deposit on contract signing, 25% at slab, 25% at frame, 25% at lock-up, 15% on practical completion. We don't ask for more than the current stage of work — no front-loading. Full terms are laid out in your fixed-price proposal.
We do. Antco Fitouts engages and manages the private certifier end-to-end — CDC lodgement, interim inspections, and the final occupation certificate. You don't need to chase paperwork or coordinate inspections. The occupation certificate lands in your inbox at handover.
No obligation. One business day response. Fixed-price proposal after site visit.
