If you need a granny flat that fits a specific block size, layout preference, or accessibility requirement, Elpor can work with you to design a custom solution. All of our standard granny flat floor plans can be modified to suit your needs, and our team can design from scratch where required. We have been building custom granny flats across Melbourne and Victoria since 1985, and work closely with each client from the initial design discussion through to installation.
Starting with one of our standard granny flat floor plans, you can modify the layout, dimensions, internal room configuration, window and door placement, and appliance selections to suit your specific requirements. Where blocks are irregular, sloped, or have constrained access, we design around the site rather than trying to force a standard plan into a space it was not designed for.
We also offer accessibility modifications for clients who need them, including wider doorways, disabled-access bathrooms, and low-incline entry ramps. Our granny flats are built offsite at our Carrum Downs factory and delivered to site, which means modifications are incorporated into the build before it reaches your property.

Elpor has been designing and building custom granny flats in Melbourne and Victoria since 1985. With over 1,000 builds completed, we have the experience to design a floor plan that suits your block, your lifestyle, and your budget.
As a registered building practitioner (CDB-U 53184), we manage the building permit process on your behalf. Our granny flats are built offsite at our Carrum Downs factory using interlocking sandwich panels for insulation and energy efficiency, with Colorbond steel exteriors that keep maintenance requirements low. All units are 7-star energy rated in compliance with NCC requirements. We are a 100% Australian-owned and family-operated business, and our team works directly with you throughout the process.

This includes changes to room configuration, door and window placement, bathroom layout, and external dimensions. Contact our team to discuss what is achievable for your property.
Under Victoria's Small Second Dwelling (SSD) provisions, a secondary dwelling must have a gross floor area of 60sqm or less, including any verandah. Elpor can design a custom granny flat within this limit to maximise the available space on your block. If your project requires a larger footprint, a planning permit may be required and our team can advise you on the applicable process.
Once the design and permit process is complete, onsite construction typically takes approximately 6 to 8 weeks from when we start on site through to handover. The design and permit stage varies depending on the complexity of your requirements and your local council.
