Granny flat builders, North Brisbane
Oakridge Living is a family-run team of granny flat builders north Brisbane homeowners use to build a second dwelling that pays its way.
Why choose Oakridge Living for a North Brisbane granny flat
We design and build self-contained granny flats from Strathpine and Kallangur through Petrie, Brendale, Albany Creek, Caboolture, Morayfield, Narangba, North Lakes, and the surrounding suburbs.
A North Brisbane granny flat is a flexible asset. It can house family, generate rental income on the property you already own, or give a teenager or adult child their own front door without leaving home.
The team carries around 40 years of combined building experience.
The project manager IS the builder. The person who walks the backyard with you is the same person on site through construction. No call centre, no salesperson, no handoff.
We are honest about cost. Granny flats look deceptively simple from the outside, but the real cost depends on access, slope, service connections, finishes, and council pathway. Our floor sits at around $180,000 for a basic self-contained build, and we quote the rest after seeing the site.
Bespoke-level service without the bespoke-level price tag. Long-standing trade relationships and lower overheads keep the price honest while keeping the build personal.
Standard inclusions cover kitchen, bathroom, laundry, flooring, window furnishings, and the rest. We will send the full Inclusions list on request.
