Granny Flats

A self-contained secondary dwelling on the same lot as your main house.

An expandable container home can serve as a granny flat — affordable accommodation for a loved one. The Oslo Grand arrives with a kitchen cabinet and sink, toilet, shower and basin, and opens out to 34 m² (365 sq ft). The Solo Lux one-bedroom cabin is another option.

Questions

Common questions about granny flats

What do I need to pay for on top of the home?
Our price is quoted FOB Shenzhen. You pay additionally for the foundation, delivery, installation and a customs broker.
Why is the price higher for developed countries?
If you are from a developed country, the price will be a bit higher because we need to use your country's standard fittings. Take Australia: we could not use a cheaper Chinese-standard toilet, and would have to use an Australian-standard toilet that is priced higher.
What kind of foundation do I need?
If building on standard ground, you will need 8 to 12 concrete piers to support the whole house.
