About Ready to Build
New Zealand's 2026 granny flat rules allow you to build a stand-alone dwelling of up to 70 m² without building consent if the plans are prepared properly by a licensed designer. We sell complete, exemption-ready plan sets so you can get straight to a PIM and a build.
Where others sell half a plan set, we include the parts that actually matter: NZS 3604 good-ground foundations, E2 flashing details, bracing, specification, and a compliance pack.
Designs by an LBP
Plans are designed and reviewed by Matthew Laird, LBP Design 3. Every Ready to Build plan is prepared to meet the applicable professional design requirements.
