When my parents decided to downsize, we looked into modular homes that would still feel comfortable and modern. Queensland Granny Flats caught our attention for their custom options and straightforward building process. 

From the first consultation, the team helped us design a compact two-bedroom flat that maximized space without feeling cramped. They provided a free site inspection and handled all the council permits, which made the process stress-free.

The craftsmanship stood out. The finishes were clean, and the insulation kept the home cool even during Brisbane’s humid summer. We appreciated how they let us tweak the floor plan to include a wider deck and larger kitchen windows.

The communication remained transparent throughout. Every step, from design to handover, was explained to us in detail. Plus, there were no surprise costs at the end.

However, the design options are limited to their modular templates unless you’re willing to pay extra for customization. Construction also took slightly longer than expected due to material delays, but the final result was worth the wait.

A company of class and professionalism 

“I first met James at the display and discussed my situation. We altered the Lilly Pilly design into a one bedroom to suit my Dad’s needs. When I entered the Granny Flat, I couldn’t help my emotions. I’m so happy and grateful. The whole experience was wonderful, and nothing was too much trouble. I highly recommend building with Queensland Granny Flats. A company of class and professionalism. Thank you!”

Impressive finish quality 

“James and the team at Queensland Granny Flats were outstanding, and the “Bluegum” was exactly what I was looking for. I was so pleased with the service I received from the team. They went above and beyond to help me find the perfect granny flat layout I wanted. I was very impressed with the quality of the finished granny flat. Definitely recommend Queensland Granny Flats.”

We first came across Westbuilt Homes while searching for modular home builders that could handle rural installations. Their team immediately stood out for offering transportable homes designed specifically for Queensland’s climate and terrain.

From the first consultation, everything felt organized and transparent. They walked us through display models, explaining each inclusion, from cladding materials to energy-efficient insulation.

We appreciated how customizable their designs are. We could adjust floor plans and choose between modern or country-inspired interiors.

During the factory visit, we were impressed by the construction quality. The precision of the joins and clean interior finishes showed how tightly they control their off-site builds.

Delivery and installation were smooth, with clear communication from dispatch to site handover. They also provided after-sales support for small touch-ups, which added confidence to the investment.

If there’s a downside, it’s that peak season projects can take longer to schedule due to high demand. 

Delivered great results 

“Westbuilt managed to professionally build a lovely granny flat suitable for a disabled family member on a very steep slope. They responded immediately to emails and, although Pullenvale protected trees made delivery difficult, they delivered as promised and completed the home before Christmas, earlier than expected. We were treated with respect and would thoroughly recommend Westbuilt.”

Great communication and attention to detail 

“There is nothing I would change about the whole process – from Jim’s visit at the very beginning through until now. At the start I asked for attention to detail and communication and certainly received this throughout the process. Everything ran smoothly and now we have lived in the house for 2 months. Just so happy with it.”

A close friend recently downsized to a Teeny Tiny Home, and after seeing it firsthand, I finally understood why this builder has such a loyal following. Every inch of the compact layout was maximized without feeling cramped.

Their modular units come fully equipped, with built-in storage stairs and off-grid systems. The team also let her tweak the kitchen layout and add a small deck for outdoor space.

During construction, updates were frequent and transparent. They provided photos and progress reports at each stage, so my friend felt fully involved without needing to visit the site constantly.

Another feature that impressed us was the portability. The home can be relocated anywhere across Queensland, perfect for people who might move or lease land temporarily.

Pricing was fair for the level of customization, especially since each home is turn-key ready upon delivery.

If there’s a downside, production slots fill up quickly, so expect longer wait times for builds. Delivery costs can also add up depending on distance, but the peace of mind and quality craftsmanship make it worth the wait.

Very accommodating and great follow-up 

“I don’t often leave reviews but the experience I had with Dave the sales guy at the display yard was so inspiring that there still is some great people in sales. From the very start he was full of enthusiasm and energy not pushing just very accommodating and great following up on details. The company is very lucky to have such a great person on there team.”

Great price point and high-quality build 

“These guys are amazing! Myself and my partner went to have a look at the show homes and they are awesome! Great price point, high quality, many options anything is possible – from any add ons to changing the floor plan these guys are great! David talked us through some different options and followed up with emails with very clear information about what the process to proceed would be like. He introduced us to the team etc via email which was great. Their website is amazing and very easy to natigate. And the customer service is amazing! Thanks again guys. Georgia & Sam”

I was first drawn to Alphaline when a neighbor commissioned one of their “lineage” series compact homes and couldn’t stop raving about the quality. 

Their model choices, including the “living” and high-end “mini-mansions,” offer real flexibility in budget and design.

During the design phase, Alphaline will walk through their clients on full specifications. Our neighbor’s new home has a full-sized shower room and solar setup, even on a tiny layout. 

The craftsmanship is exceptional, with well-detailed finishes. Smart space planning makes every corner functional, from the storage under the stairs to the seamless bathroom design. 

Many clients have also lauded how the company guided them through council approvals and zoning issues specific to Queensland. Their off-grid and commercial-application credentials mean you’re getting serious engineering and oversight.

However, many noted that construction could extend due to delays in sourcing premium materials.

Informative and genuinely committed 

“It has been an absolute pleasure working with Alphaline. From start to finish, their team was professional, friendly, informative and genuinely committed to creating something special. The designs they offer are not only beautiful but also incredibly inspiring, blending functionality with modern aesthetics. What really stands out is how fashion-forward the brand is—each home feels like a stylish, contemporary statement. I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I highly recommend Alphaline for their creativity, exceptional customer service, and cutting-edge designs! The factory tour was a stand out experience, I would highly recommend Alphaline to anyone looking for a compact or tiny home.”

Great quality of workmanship

“Outstanding on every detail from planning to delivery. Fantastic customer service, communication and great quality workmanship. Alphaline have made the whole build such an easy process. Amazing team and so easy to work with. Highly recommend. I am very happy with my little tiny home.”

Many have turned to Superior Granny Flats for a comfortable home that doesn’t feel temporary. Their showroom will surely impress you with its full-scale display units, showcasing layouts from modern 1BR pods to spacious 3BR homes.

They stand out with their 7-star energy rating and range of customizable design options. The two-bedroom modular unit with wide doorways and handrails is perfect for accessibility without sacrificing style.

Their in-house team will mostly handle everything from the council approvals to the final handover. Some clients have praised the turnkey service, which made the entire process seamless.

Many have also appreciated the free measure and quote, which gives a clear cost breakdown from the start.

The only downside was the limited design changes allowed once production began. Also, due to high demand, installation slots can book out quickly, requiring some early planning.

Excellent communication 

“My entire experience with Superior has been great. I’ve had 2 investment units built by them in Logan. Each unit I’ve had built there’s been excellent communication from my project manager with timelines, updates & photos. He was always happy to answer my hundreds of questions as well as the office were always easy to deal with and very friendly. In my opinion they are value for money and I can’t recommend them enough.”
