Looking for a modular granny flat builder in Melbourne? Here is how EcoPrestige builds a backyard second dwelling, and why modular suits a lived in suburban block.
Built in the factory, installed in a day
Your dwelling is made in our own 50,000 square metre facility while your building permit progresses. It arrives turnkey and pre cladded, is craned onto your block, connected and finished. That is 30 percent faster than typical modular suppliers, with less mess in your yard and a clear finish date.
Australian engineering, controlled quality
Our modules are engineered in Australia and manufactured to a controlled factory standard with QA oversight. Every dwelling is NCC Class 1a with an Occupancy Certificate, a 12 year structural warranty and a 12 month materials warranty.
Three ways we work with you
Modular supply only. Supply plus our install. Or full design and build coordination. For a backyard second dwelling most owners choose supply and install, on the two bedroom Tulip.
Why modular for a backyard
Building in an occupied backyard the traditional way is slow, weather exposed and disruptive. Modular moves the hard work into the factory, so the on site part is short and predictable. For a second dwelling behind your home, that is the sensible way to build.
Start with the numbers
Before you build, it helps to know what it costs and how to pay for it. See how much a granny flat costs in Melbourne, the small second dwelling rules in Victoria, and how to finance a granny flat.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a modular granny flat take to build?
The factory build runs while approvals progress, so the on site install is short. We give you a timeline in writing.
Is modular lower quality?
No. Factory building gives tighter quality control and less weather risk. Every dwelling is NCC Class 1a with an Occupancy Certificate and warranties.
Do you handle approvals?
A building permit is always required and we manage it. Often no planning permit is needed under 60 square metres.
