Entry tier. Clean cladding, a simple gable and an open deck - considered architecture at an accessible price.

Silver

A step up in materiality - mixed cladding and render, refined detailing, a stronger street presence.

Gold

The most architectural expression in the range - render, timber screening and an expanded outdoor living zone.

Why Dwellix

Better design, higher quality, a simpler process.

We are redefining what a secondary dwelling should be. Architecturally designed homes, premium inclusions and a seamless client experience, delivered at an accessible price.

What sets Dwellix apart is that we offer elevated, modern designs at the same price point many competitors charge for standard, less refined builds. Quality is not an upgrade. It is the standard.

Questions

Before you start.

Can I build a granny flat on my property? +

This depends on your local council zoning, land size and planning requirements. Most residential properties in Melbourne can accommodate a granny flat, subject to approval.

Do I need council approval? +

Yes, in most cases you will need planning and/or building approval from your local council before construction can begin.

Is my block suitable for a granny flat? +

Suitability depends on land size, access, slope and council requirements. We can assess your site and provide guidance.

What's the difference between a secondary dwelling and a granny flat? +

They are the same thing. "Granny flat" is the everyday term, while "secondary dwelling" is the planning term councils use. Dwellix designs and builds secondary dwellings: the modern, architectural take on what most people still call a granny flat.

Are there any hidden costs? +

No. We provide transparent pricing so you know exactly what to expect from the beginning.
