Frequently Asked Questions
Planning a new outdoor living space often comes with plenty of questions – and we’re here to make the process as clear and stress-free as possible. Below are answers to some of the most common things our clients ask when starting their journey.
How long does an outdoor living renovation take?
Timeframes vary depending on the scope of work, weather conditions, and material lead times. Contact us so that we can view your space, talk about your ideas and review any plans you have already considered or prepared.
Do I need council approval for a new deck or patio?
Some outdoor structures require approval, especially if they’re raised, roofed, or near property boundaries. We’ll help you determine what’s needed and manage any applications on your behalf.
Can you build around an existing pool?
Yes. We can create poolside decks, shelters, or pavilions that work with your existing pool layout. We also ensure any new work meets current safety regulations.
Can I include an outdoor kitchen or BBQ area in my project?
Absolutely. We construct the framing, benchtops, joinery, and finishes needed for outdoor kitchens. You can supply appliances, or we can coordinate with your chosen providers.
What’s the most durable decking material for Brisbane’s climate?
Both hardwoods and composite decking are well-suited to our climate. The best choice depends on your style, budget, and maintenance preference, we’ll guide you through the pros and cons of each.
Can you add lighting and electrical outlets to my outdoor space?
Yes. We coordinate with licensed electricians to install power points, lighting, and smart controls that are safe and weather-resistant.
Do you build pergolas or privacy screens?
We do. Custom timber or metal screens are a great way to add style, shade, and privacy. We can match your screen to other exterior finishes for a seamless look. Generally we only do this work as a part of a larger deck or outdoor living project though. Please contact us to discuss.
Can outdoor areas be used year-round?
With the right design, such as covered roofing, lighting, and even heating or ceiling fans, your outdoor space can be comfortable and usable in all seasons. When we worked with clients in USA a popular choice was to have a retractable screening system on your deck/patio. This encloses the space from mosquitos and will provide you the same wonderful open aspect we enjoy here with the added protection.
How much does an outdoor living renovation cost?
Costs vary depending on the size, materials, and features you choose. Factors like site access, elevation, or structural engineering may also affect the price. Contact us for a free, personalised quote.
Can you help with design ideas if I’m not sure what to do with my space?
Definitely. We’ll visit your site, listen to your goals, and offer practical, creative options tailored to your home and lifestyle.
