Got Questions?
We’ve Got Answers
How long does it take to build and install an Ecopod or granny flat?
⏳ Fast & Efficient – Our Ecopods can be prefabricated off-site for higher quality and minimal delays. Once approvals are complete, construction and installation takes as little as 12 weeks, depending on site access and requirements.
Do I need council approval to install a granny flat?
No Planning Approval Needed Under 70sqm! – Thanks to recent government changes, granny flats under 70sqm no longer need planning approval. However, a building permit is still required, and we handle the entire process to make it simple and stress-free.
Will my Ecopod be comfortable in all seasons?
Unlike standard granny flats that feel like a fridge in winter and an oven in summer, our Ecopods are built for superior insulation and energy efficiency. With double glazing, Pro Clima wrapping, and airtight construction, you’ll enjoy a comfortable, stable indoor temperature while saving on energy bills.
Can I rent out my Ecopod for extra income?
Many homeowners use their Ecopods for rental income, whether as a long-term rental or an Airbnb investment. With growing demand for high-quality, energy-efficient living, your Ecopod can start generating income quickly and pay for itself.
What Should I Consider Before Installing an Ecopod or Granny Flat?
Before adding an Ecopod or granny flat, there are a few things to check—but don’t worry, we handle it all for you!
✅ Site Access & Delivery – We’ll make sure your site is suitable for transport and installation.
✅ Site Survey & Positioning – While no planning approval is needed for homes under 70sqm, your Ecopod still needs the right placement to meet setback rules.
✅ Soil & Foundation Check – A soil test helps determine the best footing system forstability.
✅ Wind & Bushfire Rating – Some areas need a wind classification or bushfire risk assessment—we’ll sort this out if needed.
✅ Energy Efficiency & Services – Our homes are designed for comfort and energy savings, but council requires an Energy Certification. We also check if you need mains connections or a septic system.
✅ Building Permit – Even though planning approval isn’t required under 70sqm, a building permit is still needed, and we take care of the whole process for you.
�� Need finance? We can connect you with experts to help fund your modular build.
With Perway Ecopods & Granny Flats, you get a hassle-free experience—we handle approvals, installation, and everything in between!
What Additional Costs Should I Consider When Installing an Ecopod or Granny Flat?
There are a few additional costs to consider based on your site requirements. The good news? We handle the entire process for you, so there are no surprises!
✅ Bushfire Upgrades – If your site is in a bushfire-prone area, upgrades may be needed to bring your building to the necessary BAL rating.
✅ Site Preparation & Access – Your site needs to be clear and level for installation. If there are trees or obstacles in the way, they may need to be removed. We’ll assess your site and let you know what’s needed.
✅ Service Connections – Your Ecopod is built fully wired and plumbed, ready for connection. Depending on your area, you may need a qualified electrician, plumber, or septic system installation. We’ll organise this for you.
✅ Crane Hire (If Needed) – Some sites with limited access may require a crane to lift and position the Ecopod. We’ll check this in advance and arrange everything if needed.
✅ Landscaping & Driveways – If you plan to add fencing, paths, or driveways, allow for additional costs.
✅ Transport & Installation – Costs vary depending on your location, but we’ll provide a full breakdown upfront so you know exactly what to expect.
�� We take care of all planning, approvals, and logistics—so you get a stress-free, seamless experience.
Why is a Perway Ecopod Different from Other Granny Flats and Tiny Homes?
Not all granny flats and tiny homes are built the same. Many on the market are poorly insulated, feel like metal boxes, and cost a fortune to run. At Perway Ecopods, we take a different approach—focusing on quality, comfort, and sustainability.
✅ Passive House Expertise – Our builder, Andy, is Passive House Trade Certified, and we use energy-efficient design principles for year-round comfort and lower energy bills.
✅ Superior Materials – Unlike standard builds, we use double glazing, Pro Clima wrapping, and airtight construction to prevent extreme temperatures and moisture issues.
✅ Built Off-Site for Precision – Prefabricated in a controlled environment, ensuring higher quality, less waste, and faster installation compared to traditional builds.
✅ Industry-Leading Warranty – We offer a 12-month defects liability period (3x longer than industry standard) and a 7-year structural warranty—because we stand by our work.
✅ More Than Just a Product—A Customer Experience – We guide you from approvals to installation, handling everything so you can enjoy a hassle-free process.
�� Our Ecopods aren’t just extra space—they’re a future-proof investment built for comfort, sustainability, and long-term value.
