🏡 Thinking about building a smaller home on your property?
We’re Canning Construction — your local small-home and secondary dwelling specialists, servicing Cairns, Mareeba, Atherton and surrounding FNQ areas.
Unlike builders who offer secondary dwellings as just another product, this is an area we specialise in. We focus on permanent Class 1a homes designed specifically for North Queensland conditions, local council requirements and the way people actually want to live.
Whether you’re looking to create:
✅ A home for ageing parents
✅ Independent living for adult children
✅ A smaller home to retire or downsize into
✅ A long-term rental investment
✅ Better use of the land you already own
We can help you work out what is actually possible on your block before you spend thousands on plans or commit to a build.
Right now, we’re offering a complimentary desktop property feasibility study, valued at $600.
We look at your property, available space, access, setbacks and other key considerations to give you a much clearer idea of what may work.
And importantly — we’re talking about real homes.
🏠 Permanent Class 1a construction
🌴 Designed for FNQ conditions
📐 Designed around your individual property
🛏 Practical 1, 2 and 3-bedroom options
🔨 Local builder from feasibility through to construction
Not a caravan. Not a trailer-style tiny home. Not a temporary cabin.
Just a properly designed, council-compliant
home — only smaller.
If you’ve got land in Cairns, Mareeba, Atherton or surrounding areas and you’ve been wondering whether you could build a second or smaller home on it, comment “FEASIBILITY” below or send Canning Construction a message and we’ll take a look at your property.
