Customised Granny Flat Cyprus 40m² built in Kambah ACT

Our standard Cyprus was modified to suit client’s site and built in Kambah, ACT. Clients loved the original design of the building but could not fit it in between the fence and the existing garage. So we modified the floor plan moving the veranda and the entrance doors to the side. Clients were very pleased with the result. This granny flat now is rented out and generates a steady cash flow for the client.

If you live in ACT or within the 300 km radius and have a question to the builder, please feel free to contact Canberra Outdoor Structures.
