Changing Building Regulations 2026

How We Can Help You

From early 2026, homeowners can build a granny flat up to 70 square metres without a building consent, provided it's simple, built to code, and supervised by professionals.

Rules for sheds and sleepouts are also being relaxed, allowing single-storey detached buildings under 10 sqm to be built up to a boundary, and those between 10 and 30 sqm to be built within one metre of a boundary.

We can get you ready to build.
