Establish the actual arrangement
We review how the spaces are configured, occupied and connected to services.
Secondary living arrangements
Need an existing secondary dwelling or granny flat certified?
A self-contained living area can involve planning use, building classification, fire separation, parking, services, wastewater and infrastructure considerations. QRBS helps owners identify what the existing arrangement means for approval.
How the pathway may work
Check planning requirements
Definitions and requirements vary with the local planning scheme and site constraints.
Assess building and fire issues
Classification, fire separation, health, amenity and structural evidence may be required.
Coordinate an achievable scope
Plans, approvals, consultant evidence and any required building changes are brought together.
Property-specific assessment matters
Marketing language such as “dual living” does not itself confirm planning or building approval.
Common questions
What property owners often ask
Is a granny flat always a secondary dwelling?
Not necessarily. The planning definition, building classification, configuration and use all need to be considered.
