Yes — Expandify homes can be installed on properties with existing dwellings, subject to zoning, setbacks, and local planning regulations.

Most customers use Expandify homes as:

  • Secondary dwellings or granny flats
  • Ancillary accommodation
  • Home offices or extended family housing

Your eligibility depends on:

  • The land zoning and size
  • Available private open space
  • Compliance with setback, height, and site coverage rules

These are checked during your $500 Preliminary Site Feasibility Check (Prelim) with your council conducted by Expandify, which identifies whether your site meets council or CDC rules for a second dwelling.
