A deck should feel like a natural extension of your home—not an afterthought.

Made to Suit Your Lifestyle
Every home is different—and so is every deck. The best designs are based on how you live and what you want from the space. Some people want an entertainment area with plenty of room for a table, BBQ, and shade cover.
Others want a quiet corner to enjoy their morning coffee or a safe place for the kids to play. We look at your block, layout and lifestyle to come up with a design that works—one that feels like a natural part of the home, not just an add-on.
From framing to finish, every detail matters. We factor in drainage, airflow, access, and material choice to make sure your deck looks great, lasts longer, and fits how you actually use your space.
Built for Harsh Conditions
A deck needs to handle sun, storms, and daily wear and tear. That’s why it’s important to choose materials that are suited to local conditions.
Timber offers a classic look and warmth that suits many homes, but it needs proper sealing and occasional upkeep. Composite boards are popular for their durability and low maintenance, especially in high-traffic or shaded areas where moisture might be a concern.
We also consider the structure beneath the surface—quality posts, footings, and framing are what keep your deck solid and safe for years to come.
Whether you’re building from scratch or replacing an old structure, choosing a builder who focuses on both design and durability ensures you get a finished product that’s built to last.



Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need council approval to build a deck in Queensland?
Yes, in many cases you will. If the deck is over one metre off the ground, attached to the home, or over a certain size, council approval or building certification may be required. Regulations vary by location, so it’s important to check early. Approvals ensure the structure is safe, compliant, and insurable.
What timber is best for decking in Queensland?
Hardwoods like Spotted Gum, Merbau, and Blackbutt are great for durability and appearance. They handle the elements well and resist termites when properly treated. Treated pine is a budget-friendly option but may need more regular maintenance. Your choice depends on budget, look, and how much upkeep you're happy to do.
How long does it take to build a deck?
Timeframes vary, but most residential decks take one to three weeks to complete. Factors include size, site access, material availability, and any extra features like stairs or balustrades. Weather delays and approval processes can also affect timing, so it’s smart to allow for some flexibility when scheduling.
