Our Process

We know planning a new addition to your home is a big decision, which is why we’ve simplified the process from start to finish. As a trusted builder of granny flats and home extensions in South Australia, Atlas Living takes care of everything upfront: including council approvals, interior and exterior selections, and site preparation.

Whether you’re building a self-contained granny flat, a compact new home or a light-filled linked extension, our experienced team is here to guide you step-by-step, so you always know what’s happening next. With clear communication, and decades of experience, you can feel confident in a process that’s streamlined and transparent. We’ve done this thousands of times, and we’ll make sure to guide you through it.

Every Atlas Living design is fully tailorable, from floorplan and layout adjustments to façade finishes, roofing, and internal selections. With guidance from your Sales and Selections Consultants, we’ll help you personalise every detail to suit your block, your style and your lifestyle.

Smart design. Smooth delivery. The Atlas Living way.

Step-by-Step Building Process

Step 2:

Design & Quote

Your consultant will guide you towards the most suitable design and tailor it to suit your space and needs. Get a clear, upfront price, specific to your site and chosen design.

Step 3:

Approvals & Selections

We manage all council approvals, engineering and technical documentation and help you finalise your colours, finishes, and inclusions to suit your style.
