Modern granny flat in a sunny Perth backyard at golden hour

Turn unused space into income

We help Perth homeowners find out if their backyard can hold a granny flat, then connect them with builders who make it happen.

What we do

We identify unseen backyard investment opportunities

We're the matchmakers in the middle, connecting Perth homeowners with trusted modular building partners who handle design, approvals, and construction.

How we work

Straight answers, no hard sell

We asses your space and your needs and give you an honest read on whether a secondary dwelling makes sense for you.

Clear process

You'll know exactly what happens at each step, from site check to builder handover.

No ownership

We don't build, sell, or manage properties. We connect you with people who do.

Perth focused

We know Western Australian blocks, setback rules, and what works in local suburbs.

Honest calls

If your yard won't suit a secondary dwelling, we'll tell you straight rather than push it.

PARTNER FEEDBACK

Building trust one project at a time

Partner builders value the homeowners we connect them with. Here is what they have shared about working together.

The homeowners Backyard Capital WA sent our way came prepared and genuinely ready to build. That meant our first call could focus on their project, not the basics.

Modular building company, Perth

It is rare to get leads that are this well matched. The site details were accurate, and the owner had already thought through the important questions before we met.
