FAQs

Common Outdoor Renovation Questions

How much does an outdoor renovation cost on the Gold Coast?

Outdoor renovation costs vary widely depending on scope. A quality timber or composite deck starts from around $15,000, alfresco areas with roofing from $25,000-$50,000, and full outdoor kitchens with entertainment areas from $40,000-$80,000+. We provide detailed fixed-price quotes after an on-site assessment of your space and requirements.

How long does an outdoor renovation take?

Most outdoor renovation projects take 3-8 weeks depending on complexity. A standard deck build can be completed in 3-4 weeks, while larger projects involving alfresco areas, outdoor kitchens, and pergolas typically take 6-8 weeks. Weather can occasionally cause minor delays during the Gold Coast wet season.

Do outdoor structures need council approval on the Gold Coast?

Many outdoor structures on the Gold Coast require development approval from the City of Gold Coast council, particularly roofed structures, carports, and builds close to property boundaries. We handle the entire approval process including architectural drawings, engineering, and DA/BA submissions so you don't have to.

What decking materials do you recommend for the Gold Coast climate?

For the Gold Coast's subtropical climate, we recommend composite decking (such as ModWood or Trex) for low maintenance and durability, or hardwood timbers like Spotted Gum and Merbau for a natural look. Both options handle humidity, UV exposure, and coastal conditions well. We advise on the best option based on your budget and lifestyle.

Can you build an outdoor kitchen on an existing deck?

In many cases, yes. We assess the existing structure to ensure it can support the additional weight of benchtops, appliances, and cabinetry. If structural upgrades are needed, we handle those as part of the project. All gas and plumbing connections are completed by licensed tradespeople.

Do you build pool surrounds and decking?

Yes, pool surrounds and poolside decking are a core part of our outdoor renovation services. We use slip-resistant materials suitable for wet areas and can integrate seating, planter boxes, and shade structures into the design. All work complies with pool fencing and safety regulations.
