Anyone can screw down decking boards. Building an outdoor structure that stays straight, tight and beautiful through twenty coastal summers is a different trade - and it is one of ours.
We build decks, verandas, breezeways, pergolas, walkways and screens in Australian hardwoods, with coastal-grade fixings and detailing chosen for the salt, sun and rain of the Northern Rivers and Gold Coast.
From a simple entertaining deck to a full veranda wrapping a homestead, the structure is engineered properly, the boards are laid with intent, and the details - mitres, fascias, balustrades, steps - are where the craft shows.

It depends on exposure and budget, but we favour dense Australian hardwoods - species like blackbutt and spotted gum - matched with stainless or coastal-rated fixings. We will recommend a timber honestly based on your site, not on what is cheapest to supply.
Some do, depending on size, height and boundary setbacks - the rules differ between NSW and QLD. As licensed builders in both states we will tell you early whether your structure needs approval and handle the build to comply.
Yes. We regularly re-deck sound structures, replace tired substructures, and extend existing decks and verandas so the new work ties invisibly into the old.
