Outdoor living, built to last
Decks, pergolas, patios, carports, pool surrounds and retaining walls. Engineered where it needs to be, certified where it has to be, and built by our own team.
What we build
Decks
Composite and timber decks, framed and finished, with the drainage sorted underneath.
Carports
Single and double carports, attached or freestanding, on a new or existing slab.
Pool surrounds
Decking, coping, paving and screening around a pool, priced to the space.
Retaining walls
Concrete sleeper walls, engineered above a metre, with the drainage built in behind.
What outdoor work costs
| Job | Typical price (inc GST) | What that covers |
|---|---|---|
| Pergolas | from $6,600 | A 20 m² freestanding treated pine pergola. Where building approval is triggered, add roughly $2,200 to $3,800 for engineering and certification. |
| Retaining walls | from $7,900 | A 15 m concrete-sleeper wall 0.8 m high. A 30 m wall a metre high runs to about $19,600. Priced on the face area of the wall. |
| Patios | from $12,200 | A 30 m² attached single-skin Colorbond patio, including engineering, certification and the Form 15 and Form 16. |
| Carports | from $16,100 | A double carport on an existing slab. On a new slab a 36 m² freestanding double runs to about $21,800, slab included. |
| Decks | from $22,200 | A 31 m² composite deck, framed, decked and finished. |
| Pool surrounds | quoted per project | Every pool surround is an assembly of decking, paving, coping and screening, so it is priced to the space rather than a standard job. |
Final price depends on size, ground conditions, access and finishes. We confirm it in writing before any work starts.

What is included, and what is extra
We quote the whole thing, not a headline number with surprises behind it. Where a job needs engineering, a building approval, a certifier or a slab, those sit as their own lines in your quote so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
- Engineering and Form 15, where the structure needs it
- Building approval and certifier Form 16, where the size or siting triggers it
- QBCC Home Warranty Insurance on contracts of $20,000 or more
- Spoil removal, skips and tip fees
- Drainage behind a retaining wall, which we build in as standard, never as an upsell
Common questions
It depends on the size, the height and where it sits on the block. We work that out before quoting, so the approval cost is in your price rather than a surprise later.
Approval. A pergola that falls inside accepted development needs no engineering or certifier. One that does not picks up roughly $2,200 to $3,800 of engineering and certification. We establish that before we quote.
Walls over a metre need engineering, and we build that into the quote. We also build the subsoil drain in behind every wall as standard.
Yes. Stepped and sloping sites are normal here. It changes the hours and sometimes the machine access, which we price after seeing the site.
No. Our builder licence covers buildings up to two storeys, so we stick to low-rise.
