Pablo Figueroa02:33 05 Feb 20I highly recommend Granny Flat Approvals for their professionalism, creative thinking and people’s focus approach. I came to Faraj with a difficult lot of land, and multiple challenges to build a granny flat (odd shape and highly sloped terrain). He could have disregarded the project and stay busy with so many others easier projects, but instead he saw the potential and made me feel he really cared as it was his own. Going through a DA and requiring a number of exemptions from the council we knew it would not be as straightforward as your regular granny flat, but Faraj had the right strategy for me (including Pre-DA meetings), with his experience in knowing what we needed to do to get things over the line. This is when you realise you need to have someone with the right experience on your side to ensure you have the highest probability of council approval. The wrong approach gets your DA in the ‘drawer’ – I must admit I have learnt the complexities of the task as Faraj would patiently guide me through the process and iterate as many times as I needed till we got the right balance between having what I want and what would have the right likelihood of success. It felt a very collaborative approach where he would explain his line of thinking and was always clear about the risks (never over-promising). To make it more challenging, right in the middle of the DA submission I had to travel for family issues. Faraj did not hesitate to liaise with the council directly and handle objections that would have otherwise crippled the project. We got council approval in record time and we are about to commence build now. Thanks to Faraj, Zoe and the team once again.
F Khan05:27 23 Jan 20Faraj is a gem of a person, very helpful and prompt response. I would highly recommend them should you want information about grant flat feasibility or building one.
Marie J Kang12:28 01 Dec 19We're in the process of buying a new home that requires a granny flat to be built in the backyard and Faraj has been so helpful, going above and beyond in checking contracts and giving us the information we need to make an informed decision. Once again thank you for being so helpful from the beginning and making an effort to make sure we are educated and know what we're getting ourselves into. Saving us much time and money! Looking forward to working with them further.
Jeffrey and Siew Boon01:22 28 Oct 19Granny Flat Approvals (GFA) has helped us obtain our approval for our garage to granny flat conversion with ease. From our first call to Zoe & later site inspection & design by Nick, this efficient team has made the whole process very clear & transparent. As our garage setback distance was less than the council requirement, most builders that we have spoken to have encouraged us to knock down our brick garage & rebuild the granny flat rather than converting. As GFA is very familiar with council requirements they were able to suggest ways how we could still do the conversion. Faraj is very informative and helpful in answering questions. He also laid out all options if we decide to knock down our garage & rebuild. Due to that, we were able to make an informed decision based on our budget & circumstances. The whole team at GFA are very efficient & swift in getting things done. They are also very helpful & always trying to work in the best interest of their clients. We highly recommend them if you are planning to have a granny flat on your property.

George Vakis05:47 27 Sep 19This whole building experience went so seamlessly and transparent it was a pleasure working with them. We knew all the requirements during the planning and design processes with no hidden unexpected costs. Being in the flight path did require additional funding , but that was our call. In the end the final product was something we were all proud of. Highly recommend the team from Granny Flat Approvals for any Granny Flat to be built anywhere in Australia. They are there to get you a result.

Francois Hachem09:00 03 Apr 17Having zero knowledge of the building industry and being cautious when choosing the right company, I would have never in my wildest thoughts have expected to be blessed with such an informative, knowledgeable, proactive, and most importantly, honest group of individuals. My experience with Granny Flat Approvals and the team including Faraj, Nick and Serge has been the absolute pinnacle of any client / provider relationship I have had in my entire life; the culture Serge breeds in his company is a testament to the outstanding service and quality his team provides. Thank you for making my experience such a positive and memorable one.
Teresa07:38 30 Mar 17Faraj and the team have been excellent in there professional handling and friendless in my endeavors to build a granny flat, from design to needing a quick response to questions about the build and all the approvals I needed, so thanks for your patience and tolerance of my questions and changes needed. I would highly recommend these guys to anyone.
Aaron Tao00:56 30 Mar 17Faraj and team have been helpful all throughout the application process till approval, they handled all correspondence with engineers and assisted us in following up with council, turned a very stressful process to a very straight forward solution. They managed to push a difficult approval over the line and get the desired results we wanted. If your curious about getting a granny flat for your place i'd suggest have a chat with Faraj and team so they can give their honest opinion about your situation.
Debbie Waite19:59 22 Feb 17Just wanted to write and Thank you guys so much for your prompt service. I had an answer within the working day whether I could have a Granny flat in the garden of a house I was thinking of purchasing. Your advice was very much appreciated. I will recommend you to others and I will be using your company in the not to distant future!
