Granny Flats & Minor Dwellings
High-quality extra accommodation.
We love helping people accommodate extra people or become property investors by adding to the rental stock. A granny flat can either be a separate structure or incorporated into an existing house. A minor dwelling is a complete house of one to three bedrooms and a floor area of up to 90 sqm that’s on the same title as the main house. Minor dwellings are common on farms and lifestyle properties, and are a popular style of house to build for rental accommodation in town – as a stand-alone rental on your home’s section where planning rules allow.
Granny flats and self-contained units
A granny flat can either be incorporated into your main dwelling, or it can be a stand-alone structure nearby. Certain council exemptions might need to be met before building can proceed, so a wise first step is to talk to us first.
Minor dwellings
Adding a T Dunn Builders minor dwelling to your property in North Canterbury or elsewhere is a great way to accommodate other family members, or as a rental to bring in more income. Subject to resource consent, we can build a high-quality minor dwelling on your property in town or in the country.
Rental houses and units
If you have the space on your rural property or urban section, building a purpose-built rental house or units can be a smart investment. Building new is attractive to many property investors because Homes Standards are met and maintenance costs are much lower than on an older property.
