    Hi Friends,

    Was looking at buying an IP at Riverstone. Would love to hear from you all from all your experience and research. What would you say about the suburb currently, livable? The suburb seems will go up in some time period cause of the area been developed. Have read about the housing commission area and the trouble caused to the residents there ? Can anyone mention which streets to avoid ?? Thank you

    What do I mean by that? Well, Im a skilled, experience project manager and for ME to Owner-Build a 60 sq m granny flat (doing it myself at cost) would cost around $65,000+ for a 2 bedroom, hip-roofed granny flat, weatherboard, on a concrete slab, including site costs, approval, all inclusions- turn-key. How any builder can do it for $60,000 is beyond me. It's actually IMPOSSIBLE. If it was, I'd hire a builder to do it and save my clients $30,000

    Decent hardworking builders work on 20-25% margin That means what you or I could do for $70k

    Hi Brazen,

    Would you do the 2bd rm granny flat including above + connecting services for 70k ?

    Hi to all you lovely people, who are trying to sort out things and helping other people who you don't even know…

    This is a lovely forum,and I have been taking help form it for past 4-5 months, but now cant resist getting into the chat.

    My husband and I are looking forward to buying a property in western Sydney and building a granny flat on it. The property already has a garage with water and plumbing in it. Can anyone advice me will this help to reduce the cost of building one?

    I know a guy who is doing all up around 60k in western sydney.  he is building on our property in Mt Druitt & Blacktown. if interested you can look at our granny flat after completion and decided if you want to go with him.

    sydey99 – can you please send me the details of the person building the granny flat for you, and also let me know what your experience was, did it cost any extra money than 60k..also if you can send me some pictures of your granny flats on – my email.

     Thank you smiley
