Why choose Orange Projects
Orange Projects holds QBCC Licence No. 15620733 and is fully insured for residential and commercial decking work.
We handle removal and disposal, footings, posts, bearers, joists, stairs, fascia and balustrades, so one team is responsible for the whole deck.
Hardwoods such as Merbau, Spotted Gum and Blackbutt, or composite boards from Ekodeck and Ezy Decking. Supply and install, or install only if you are supplying the boards.
On replacement jobs we check the existing structure before quoting. Framing is only reused when its condition and size suit the new deck.
You get an itemised, fixed price in writing after we measure, with stairs, balustrades and any engineering listed separately.
We build and replace decks for homeowners, landlords, property managers, body corporates and commercial premises such as offices, retail and hospitality spaces.

Residential and commercial decking around Elanora
Alongside home decks, we take on decking for managed and commercial properties: outdoor customer areas for cafes and retail, office break-out decks, body corporate common areas, and replacement decks on investment properties for landlords and property managers. Commercial work can be timber or composite, and is scoped and quoted the same way: measure, assess what is there, then a fixed written price.
Safety first
Any deck more than 1 m above the ground needs a balustrade, and the rules limit gaps so a child cannot fit through or climb. Horizontal rails that act like a ladder are not allowed where the fall height requires a compliant balustrade. If you have young children, a lower deck avoids balustrades altogether and keeps falls short.
Barefoot friendly
Splinters are the main complaint about older timber decks. Composite boards do not splinter. Hardwood that is oiled regularly stays smooth. Untreated or neglected pine is the most likely to splinter.
Pets
Dog claws scratch most deck surfaces. Hardwood marks, but can be lightly sanded and re-oiled. Capped composite resists scratching better than uncapped boards, and scratches tend to blend in over time. Lighter colours hide scratches and dust better than dark ones. Board gaps should be small enough that paws and claws do not catch.
Space to play
- Wide steps double as seating and a safe way down.
- A covered section gives shade for play in summer.
- Built-in storage benches keep toys and outdoor cushions off the deck.
- A gate at the top of steps stops toddlers wandering off.
Easy cleaning
Food spills and muddy paws are part of family life. Composite cleans with soapy water. Timber can be washed but may stain if spills sit. Keep this in mind when choosing a dark or light board.
Prices and options
As a general guide, timber decking runs roughly $350 to $550 per m² and composite $450 to $700 per m² supplied and installed, depending on height, access, framing and finishes. We also do install only. See composite decking and deck builders.
