Granny flat builders, Sunshine Coast

Oakridge Living is a family-run team of granny flat builders Sunshine Coast property owners can engage when they want a personal, builder-led process.

Why choose Oakridge Living for a Sunshine Coast granny flat

We design and build self-contained granny flats from a floor of around $180,000, with cost above that determined by site, size, and finishes.

We build across Brisbane through to the Sunshine Coast. Most of our Sunshine Coast work sits in the southern and hinterland end of the region (Beerwah, Mooloolah, Mooloolaba, Maleny, Montville, Caloundra). We will assess work further north case by case.

The team carries around 40 years of combined building experience.

The project manager IS the builder. The person who walks the property with you is the same person on site through construction. You ring one number for the whole project.

We are honest about service area. Rather than pretending to be a Coast-local outfit, we tell you upfront whether your block is within reasonable distance of our usual trades. If it is, we quote it the same way we quote a Caboolture or Strathpine job. If it is not, we will say so.

Bespoke-level service without the bespoke-level price tag.

Granny flats, not just for grannies. A Sunshine Coast granny flat is often built for investment income, multi-generational living, teen retreats, or working-from-home studios with a backyard view.

We will send the full Inclusions list on request.
