Built two the hard way. Building the third with Rivela.

I’ve built two granny flats the usual way. Both dragged on, and both cost more than they should have. The third one is going up with Rivela. Same standards, a lot less money, and far fewer trades to chase.

“I started Rivela because a second dwelling shouldn’t cost what a conventional build does. We developed the Rivela system to specialise in secondary dwellings, to the same standards as any other home, so more Australians can put one on the land they already own.”

Same rent.
Less money in. Faster than a conventional build.

Will the "from" price double?

No. The number covers the building and the work to put it up, and the parts that depend on your block are quoted separately, in writing, before you commit to anything.

  • What the price includes: the precision-engineered components and the on-site build on a standard site, with standard service connections.
  • What is quoted separately: approval costs, plus anything your block needs beyond a standard site. These are the ones that genuinely differ block to block, so we price them after we have seen yours rather than guessing.
  • When you see the full number: before you sign. One written price, both parts, no allowances left open.
  • What moves it after that: only a change you ask for.
Will a bank lend on it?

Generally yes, and the reason is how it gets built. It goes up in stages on your block by a licensed builder, so lenders assess it as ordinary residential construction.

  • Why that matters: a building fixed to your land is treated differently to a transportable or a chattel purchase. Keeping the work on site is what keeps it financeable the normal way.
  • How the money flows: progress payments at stages, the same as any other build.
  • What the bank wants to see: the approval, the contract, and a licensed builder behind it. All three exist here.
  • If you don't know where to start: ask, and we'll point you to a finance broker. We're not paid for the introduction and you're under no obligation to use them.
  • What Rivela does not do: arrange, advise on or organise your finance. Your bank or broker does that. We give them the documents they ask for.
Does my block qualify?

Most residential blocks in NSW can take a second dwelling. The real question is not whether, it is which approval path yours falls on.

  • Two paths: a private certifier where the lot meets the standards, or council where it does not. Neither is a given until your address is checked.
  • What decides it: lot size and shape, frontage, the space left around the building, and what is already on the block.
  • What can complicate it: sewer mains, easements, a heritage or flood overlay, significant trees, or access to the rear.
  • What it costs to find out: nothing. We check your address and tell you which path you are on before you spend anything.
Which one fits my block?

That is the one question a picture cannot answer, and it is free to find out. Lot size and shape, frontage, the space left around the building and what is already on the block all decide it. Give us the address and we read it straight from the NSW planning record before you spend anything.

Can I change the layout?

Yes. The same system is cut to your dimensions instead of ours, priced against your drawings rather than a plan off this page. Most custom enquiries turn out to be a variation on a standard plan, not a design from scratch.

Can I see the floor plans?

They are on this page, one under each model, at the size you can actually read them. Every plan here is the plan you would be quoted on, not an illustration of one.
