We absolutely love our new second dwelling! We couldn’t be happier with both the process and the final result. From our very first meeting with Sam through to the regular and transparent communication with the engineers and admin team, we felt supported and guided every step of the way. The Second Homes team is highly professional and genuinely goes above and beyond to make sure everything is exactly as we imagined—and even better. Thank you, guys, for making the whole experience such a positive and enjoyable one. We couldn’t recommend you highly enough!

Building our granny flat in Melbourne while living in Sydney could have been stressful, but the entire process was incredibly smooth and well managed from start to finish. A special thanks to Sam, who was always helpful, easy to communicate with, and offered a very reasonable price with excellent inclusions. The value for money was outstanding. I'd also like to recognise Hussain and Terryn, who did a fantastic job coordinating everything and keeping us updated with regular progress updates. Their communication gave us confidence throughout the build, even from interstate. The workmanship and build quality exceeded our expectations, and we're extremely happy with the finished granny flat. For anyone considering a granny flat as an investment, it's a great strategy to boost rental cash flow while adding value to your property. We highly recommend Second Homes and the team for their professionalism, quality, and excellent customer service.

Today I had the pleasure of meeting Sam, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. He spent a long time with me, patiently explaining every detail and answering all of my questions. His professionalism, honesty, and knowledge made me feel confident and reassured about both him and the company. Even though it was raining, Sam still took the time to show me the display homes, which I truly appreciated. His dedication and excellent customer service meant a lot to me. I truly appreciate your help, and I'm excited to see you again soon to continue making my dream of building my second small home a reality.

Highly recommend Hussein and the Second Homes Australia team! I built a granny flat on my rental property in Dallas while living interstate, and Hussein and his brilliant team made the entire process incredibly smooth and stress-free. From start to finish, they took care of everything and handled all the details with professionalism and expertise. The quality of the build was excellent, and the granny flat rented for a fantastic price immediately upon completion. I couldn’t be happier with the result. If you’re considering a granny flat or secondary dwelling, look no further, these guys are the best!

If you’re considering adding a granny flat to an investment property, I can’t recommend Hussein and the Second Homes team highly enough. As a buyers agent, I recently worked with Hussein on a project for one of my clients, adding a granny flat to an investment property we had purchased for them. From the very first conversation, Hussein’s communication and process made the whole experience seamless. He was incredibly organised, the build ran smoothly, and the finished product is next level. What really stood out from an investment perspective was the turnaround time- start to finish, the project took around 10 weeks, meaning my client had minimal vacancy and could get a tenant in quickly. That kind of efficiency makes a real difference to the overall return and uplift on the asset. If you want a granny flat builder who delivers on their word and makes the process easy for both the investor and their agent, Hussein is your guy. We’ll absolutely be working with him again.
