BUILDING IDEAS

Tossing up whether to erect

a granny flat? Be inspired

by this owner-builder reno

n

ot just used to house the

old folks, granny flats are

becoming more popular

options for accommodating other

relatives. They’re also a means of

generating rental income, or are

handy as a home office. Plus, in most

cases, the addition of a fab flat will

boost the value of your property,

too. The BHG TV team followed the

construction of this owner-builder flat

to show the amazing possibilities you

can achieve at your place. Take a look!
