We build granny flats throughout Brackenfell and Kraaifontein. Council-approved plans included, brick and timber options, fixed-price quotes. NHBRC registered. We handle the whole job from plans to handover.
Brackenfell has large plots and growing families — it's one of the better areas in Cape Town's Northern Suburbs for adding a granny flat. Whether you need accommodation for a parent, want to earn rental income, or you're trying to add value before selling, a properly built granny flat here makes financial sense.
We've built in Kleinbron Estate, Brackenfell South, and across Kraaifontein. We know the zoning rules, the City of Cape Town plan submission process, and the local suppliers. When we quote a job in Brackenfell we know exactly what we're talking about.
Solid construction with double-skin walls, proper damp-proof course, tiled roof and full fitout. These match your main house in quality and last decades. They add the most property value and attract the best tenants. From R180,000 fully fitted.
Faster to build and more affordable. We use quality treated timber with proper insulation — not thin-walled structures that you'll regret in 5 years. Fully habitable and great for the Cape Town climate. From R85,000 for a studio unit.
City of Cape Town plan submissions are time-consuming. We prepare your architectural drawings, get a structural engineer involved where needed, submit to the municipality, and follow up every step of the way. You don't deal with the municipality at all.
We design the granny flat around your plot size and what you need it for. 20m² studio, 35m² 1-bedroom, or a proper 55m² 2-bedroom unit. All layouts comply with Brackenfell's zoning bylaws and City of Cape Town building regulations.
Tiling, painting, kitchen fittings, bathroom fixtures, built-in cupboards, ceiling boards, electrical — all included. We hand over a granny flat that someone can move into immediately. No extra contractors needed after us.
Workmanship warranty on everything we do. Brick structures get NHBRC structural warranty on top of that. If something is wrong after handover, we come back and sort it out — full stop.
20-25m² studio. Open plan with bathroom and kitchenette. Timber frame, fully painted and tiled. Good for student accommodation or a single tenant.

40-60m² full brick. 1-2 bedrooms, bathroom, open-plan lounge/kitchen. High quality finishes and NHBRC warranty. Council plans included.
R85,000 to R300,000+ depending on size and finishes. Most 1-bedroom units in Brackenfell land between R150,000 and R220,000 fully fitted. We give fixed-price quotes — no surprises mid-build.
Yes, if it has council-approved plans. Brackenfell granny flats rent for R5,000 to R8,500/month for a 1-bedroom unit. It's a solid rental market — close to Brackenfell business park and major shopping centres.
Yes, and you should never skip this. Building without approval risks your insurance, your bond, and creates massive problems when you sell. We include the full City of Cape Town plan submission in our price.
Plan approval takes 6 to 10 weeks with the City of Cape Town. Construction takes 4 to 10 weeks after that. Total from calling us to handing over keys is usually 3 to 5 months.
