A Little Clarity.
More Possibilities.

A granny flat is a Class 1a building designed as a dwelling. A garden room is a Class 10a building intended for uses such as a home office, creative studio, hobby room or backyard retreat — not permanent or bedroom accommodation. Talk to our team about the space you have in mind.

Start with how you plan to use the building and the furniture or equipment it needs to accommodate. Compare floor plans, allow room to move comfortably, and consider storage and access. Share your available space and priorities with our team to help narrow down the options.

Yes. Our Garden Rooms offer a separate space for working from home, creative projects and hobbies. Think about natural light, your desk or equipment, storage and any power or internet needs. Discuss these with our team so you can explore a layout that suits the way you want to use it.

Yes. Our team can help you navigate the council approval process for your Goodlife project and understand the next steps. Requirements vary by property and location, so talk to us about your plans and the support you need.

Granny flats require building approval, and planning or development approval may also be needed. Requirements for garden rooms vary with your location, building size and project. Check with your local council before proceeding, and talk to Goodlife about your plans.

It depends on your property and local requirements. Your council can advise on boundaries, setbacks, building size and any other restrictions that apply. Bring that information to our team so we can help you explore a suitable starting point.

Every building needs a level, stable foundation. A concrete slab or a bearer-and-joist foundation are two common approaches. The right base depends on your building and site, so confirm the requirements for your project before arranging any work.

Your property address, a few photos and approximate measurements are a useful starting point. Include the proposed building location, access from the street and any nearby trees, fences or existing structures. If you already have plans or advice from your council, share those with our team too.

Confirm your chosen building, foundation requirements and project arrangements before booking site work. Ask our team which details need to be settled first and who will be responsible for each task. Agreeing the sequence early can help avoid work needing to be changed later.

Yes. We offer DIY kit options for customers who want to assemble their own building, including our Garden Room range. Talk to our team about a suitable design and the skills and preparation involved. Our built-and-installed granny flats, such as the Kennedy, are a separate offering.

Yes. We can build and install in rural areas through our modular products. Tell us your location and a little about your property so our team can discuss a suitable modular option, site access and delivery and installation arrangements.

Garden Rooms are supplied as kits that can be assembled by customers with suitable skills and preparation. Talk to our team about the instructions, tools and build support for your chosen design before deciding. Some work may require qualified trades.

Talk to our team about Australia-wide delivery options for your postcode. We can confirm the delivery quote, site access and unloading requirements for your chosen Garden Room.

An on-site build is constructed directly on your property. A modular build is constructed off site, transported to your property and craned into position. Goodlife offers both approaches; the right starting point depends on your location, chosen building and site access. Our team can discuss which approach suits your project.

Share photos and approximate measurements of your driveway, gates and the route to the proposed building location. Mention tight corners, slopes and overhead obstacles. Access and unloading arrangements depend on the building and delivery method, so confirm these with our team before delivery is booked.

Customisation is available. Our existing design service is listed at a non-refundable $1,500, covering a design meeting, floor plan and elevation drawings, and one revision. Additional revisions are listed at $150 each; $750 is credited to your purchase if you proceed with the customised product. Please confirm the current fee and available changes with our team for your chosen design.

Tell us about your property, location and how you would like to use the space. You do not need to have every detail worked out. Send an enquiry and our team can help you explore the next steps.

Compare the scope as well as the price. Ask what is included for your chosen building and whether delivery, unloading, foundations, installation, approvals and service connections are included or need separate arrangements. Request clarification on any exclusions so you can plan the overall project budget.

Bring the names of any designs you like, your property location and any useful photos or measurements. A short list of priorities, such as room sizes, storage or intended use, will help guide the conversation. Contact our team before travelling to confirm which buildings are available to view.
