QUICK ANSWER

Your Garden Studios Questions Answered

Find quick answers to the most common property questions.

Do I need council approval to build a garden studio in Melbourne?

It depends on the size and intended use. Generally, structures under 10m² may not require a building permit, but larger studios or those with plumbing/electrical work typically do. Our team can assess your specific situation and handle all permit requirements.

How long does it take to install a Humpy Co. garden studio?

Most of our garden studios are installed in just one day once the foundation is prepared. The entire process from purchase to completion typically takes 4-6 weeks, including build time at our factory.

Can your garden studios be used year-round in Melbourne weather?

Absolutely. Our studios are fully insulated (R3.0 ceiling and R1.5 wall insulation) and built with quality materials that withstand Melbourne’s varying climate, making them comfortable spaces throughout all seasons.

Are your backyard pods movable if I decide to relocate?

Yes, our garden studios and backyard pods are designed with potential relocation in mind. The steel frame construction allows us to disassemble and reassemble your studio if your circumstances change.

How do garden studios compare to traditional granny flats?

While both create additional living space, garden studios are typically smaller and may have fewer regulations than granny flats. Our studios offer flexibility for various uses beyond accommodation, though we also build full-featured granny flats for those needing complete living quarters.

What foundation is required for a garden studio?

Options include concrete slabs, adjustable stumps, or our proprietary foundation system. We’ll assess your site and recommend the best foundation based on soil conditions and local requirements.

Do you service all of Melbourne?

Yes, we deliver and install our garden studios throughout Melbourne and surrounding areas. Our team handles the entire process from design through to installation, regardless of your location in Greater Melbourne.

Can I customise the interior of my garden studio?

Absolutely. While all studios come with quality painted interiors, we offer various upgrade options including different flooring materials, cabinetry, and specialised electrical installations to create your perfect new space.
