Can I put a Granny Flat or Garden Room in my backyard?2025-07-16T10:15:07+00:00

While we would love everyone to have one of our beautiful Goodlife Structures in their backyard, there are many rules and regulations that dictate what you can have on your property and where it can be placed. We always recommend a phone call to your local council to get any requirements your property has. Questions like, how close to the boundary can I build? What size building can I have without a permit? Are they any other restrictions or other information I should consider?

What kind of foundations do I need?2025-07-16T10:14:29+00:00
