Granny flats came first. Built the normal way, until the waste added up.

Three of the ones that came first. The gaps between trades on builds like these are what Rivela was designed to close.

Held on every build.

01

A proper foundation

Engineered footings as standard, or upgrade the Studio or Granny flat to a poured concrete slab, the same permanent footing as the main house.

02

A price you can plan around

A set price for the home, agreed before work starts. Never a quote that creeps.

03

Approval is our job

Prepared, lodged and managed with an independent registered certifier. You never chase council.

04

Built to Australian standards

Engineered, checked and signed off by our own structural engineer.
