A granny flat is one of the highest-returning improvements you can make to a Sydney property — whether for rental income, family accommodation or a home office. Probuilding & Carpentry delivers the carpentry that determines the quality of the finished dwelling: structural framing, roofing, cladding, windows, doors and the internal fit-off.

We work three ways: alongside your builder as the carpentry trade, directly with owner-builders managing their own project, or as the complete carpentry package from slab to handover for developers.

Free quotes. Free advice. Guaranteed workmanship. Probuilding & Carpentry is a licensed NSW carpentry business (Lic. 458148C), fully insured, with 8+ years of hands-on experience. Owner Hamzah Elfoul leads every job personally and treats each home like it’s his own.

Our secondary dwelling scope includes:

• Structural timber framing — walls, floors and roof structures built square, plumb and inspection-ready
• Roofing carpentry — conventional and truss roofs, fascia, barge and eaves detailing
• External cladding & weatherproofing — weatherboard, fibre cement and composite systems installed to manufacturer specification
• Windows & external doors — correctly flashed, sealed and operating perfectly
• Internal fit-off — doors, skirting, architraves, robes and storage completed to display-home standard
• Decks, ramps & access — compliant entries that integrate the dwelling with the site

1. Get in touch. Call, SMS or send photos of your project or plans through the contact form — a rough idea of size and materials helps.
2. Site visit & measure. Where needed, Hamzah visits to measure up, check access and talk through options that suit your property and budget.
3. Itemised written quote. You get a clear, line-by-line quote — no lump-sum guesswork, so you can see exactly what you’re paying for.
4. The build. We turn up when we say we will, keep the site clean and keep you updated as the work progresses.
5. Walkthrough & guarantee. We walk you through the finished job and stand behind our workmanship — if something’s not right, we come back and fix it.

On a small dwelling there is nowhere for poor workmanship to hide. Out-of-square framing shows up in every door, bench and tile line that follows. Builders and developers engage us because our frames pass inspection the first time and our fit-off standard eliminates call-backs — keeping projects on programme and on budget.

• Licensed & insured — NSW contractor licence 458148C, full public liability insurance, details supplied with every quote.
• Specialists in older & heritage homes — matched skirting and architrave profiles, traditional detailing and sympathetic repairs.
• One point of contact — you deal with Hamzah directly from first call to final walkthrough, not a rotating crew of subcontractors.
• Itemised quotes, honest advice — we’ll tell you when a cheaper option will do the job, and when it won’t.

We service St George, Bayside, the Sutherland Shire, Canterbury-Bankstown and the Inner West. NSW planning provisions allow secondary dwellings up to 60m² as complying development on many blocks — we can point you to the right certifiers and designers if you are early in the process.

Do you build the whole granny flat?

We deliver the complete carpentry package — framing through fit-off — and work in with your builder, certifier and other trades. For owner-builders we can also recommend trusted plumbers, electricians and other trades we regularly work alongside.

How long does the carpentry take on a granny flat?

Framing a standard 60m² dwelling typically takes one to two weeks, with cladding, windows and fit-off scheduled around other trades. We provide a programme with the quote and coordinate closely to avoid hold-ups.

Can you quote from my plans?

Yes — send your approved or draft plans through the contact form and we will return an itemised carpentry quote, usually within a few business days.
