A single-story light steel granny flat is a small, detached residential unit built using a light steel frame system, typically serving as an extension of the main house. It can be used as a granny flat for seniors, as a guest room, rental property, independent space for teenagers, backyard office, or holiday cottage.
This type of construction is popular in Australia, New Zealand, the United States, and other countries due to its rapid assembly, durable structure, controllable cost, and high mobility.
