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.
