Our Process
We visit your property to assess the site, discuss your design preferences, and advise on materials and council requirements. After preparing a detailed quote with clear specifications, we handle any required building permits. Construction typically takes 1-2 weeks and includes footings, post installation, beam and rafter construction, roofing if applicable, and all finishing work. We leave your outdoor area clean and ready to enjoy.
