THE CHEAPEST AND BEST GRANNY FLATS IN BRISBANE
DIY / installed to lock-up / with complete fit-out – the choice is yours
Backyard Pods make the cheapest granny flats because kits cost much less than conventional structures. Our buildings are easily customised to suit your own needs and styling. From small studio-style backyard cabins to fully self-contained garden apartments, cool urban statements to quaint cottage-style designs, you can SAVE THOUSANDS using our flat-pack kits as your starting point. Not all sites would be approved for a granny flat or secondary dwelling, but if you have a question about what you’d like to achieve – talk to us! Granny flats are now just as easy to get approved in Brisbane as in southern States – ideal for accommodating extended family or renting out for the short or long term. We have many examples of granny flats in Brisbane and south-east Queensland. Some have been built on a tight budget as the cheapest granny flat option, while others have had the designer touch in decision-making (plus a little extra budget) to make the most desirable and livable granny flat imaginable.

Brisbane granny flat designs and examples
When it looks ‘impossible’ to build a granny flat, that’s when you call Backyard Pods. Our customer in Bli Bli, Sunshine Coast, had the dream for a deluxe poolside granny flat that would seamlessly hide a visual nightmare of tanks and plumbing underneath.
This superb Brisbane granny flat is a credit to its owners. They dreamed of a self-contained backyard cabin that wouldn’t detract from the main residence. Understated on the outside, bright and stylish on the inside, this Backyard Pod makes a welcoming statement.
This sleek Backyard Pod in Colorbond Monument 4m x 11m with eaves cost less than HALF what builders had quoted for a conventional home extension in Brisbane.
If you’re building a granny flat on sloping land using Backyard Pods, you don’t necessarily need to excavate. Our customer at Ocean View, a bushfire-prone district north of Brisbane in QLD, chose to elevate their granny flat on one side, using extra-long piers, taking advantage of the breezes and views.
It looked like there was no way to build a granny flat at this Brisbane property due to the tight space and steep slope. But when the granny flat mission looks impossible, all of the issues were overcome by our network partners to achieve a successful and surprising result.
Our customer wanted a prefab granny flat delivered complete and simply connected on-site. But not everyone who wants a prefab granny flat can get one to their site. That's where our flatpack kit 3.6m x 9m with extra-long piers came in! The entire 1-bedroom granny flat project was completed to move-in-readiness through our Backyard Pods network.
Our customer at Helensvale on the Gold Coast didn’t need a completely self-contained granny flat. Just a backyard cabin with a separate bedroom and ensuite, an open-plan living area, and a kitchenette. They can share laundry facilities with the main house. With a Backyard Pod kit 4m x 10m, combined with our veranda and deck kit 1.5m-wide, our customer met their needs on a budget even with a sloping block. Approvals and on-site works were handled for them by our QLD network.
The deluxe 'Coolum' design 2BR prefab granny flat or self-contained cabin 6m x 9m is pre-wired, pre-plumbed, cyclone-rated, and delivered complete anywhere in Queensland. This upgraded example shows how basic prefab granny flat designs can be customised.
This family needed a low-budget granny flat so an elderly mother could be cared for close to the family home, whilst still maintaining her independence and privacy. Would this turn out to be the cheapest granny flat in Brisbane?
