Orange Projects is a QBCC-licensed builder (Licence No. 15620733) delivering carpentry across Isle of Capri and the wider Gold Coast region.
Carpentry in Isle of Capri - what to expect
Isle of Capri is a compact, established island suburb where nearly every street ends at water. The blocks are valuable enough that owners renovate to a high standard rather than move, and the briefs usually centre on opening the home to the canal. A mix of 1970s and 80s brick waterfront homes being extensively renovated, and newer architectural rebuilds. Rear living reconfigurations, kitchens facing the water, pool-surround decking and full flooring replacements are the recurring scopes. For carpentry specifically, this matters. Canal-front work brings tidal considerations, boundary and revetment wall setbacks, and the need to protect existing pontoons and landscaping during the build. Narrow streets and limited kerbside space also mean staged deliveries and a tightly managed site. Every Isle of Capri project is quoted at a fixed price after a site inspection, delivered by one licensed team, and finished with the documentation and warranties you should expect from a licensed builder.

Our carpentry service in Isle of Capri
Structural carpentry
Wall framing, floor framing, roof carpentry, subfloor repairs, stump replacement and structural timber repairs where rot or termite damage has been found. All work is carried out under our QBCC licence with engineering where required.
Custom joinery and built-ins
Built-in wardrobes, entertainment units, media walls, window seats, mudroom storage, study nooks and bespoke shelving. Made to suit your walls rather than a catalogue module, then finished flush so the joinery reads as part of the architecture.
Finish carpentry
Door hanging, skirtings, architraves, cornice, VJ panelling, battened feature walls, staircases and trim repairs. This is the detail people notice - tight mitres, straight scribes, no gaps and no filler doing the work of a good cut.

Frequently asked questions - Isle of Capri
Do you take on small carpentry jobs?
Yes. Door hanging, rotten timber repairs, skirtings and architraves, a single built-in robe or a set of shelves are all work we take on in Isle of Capri, alongside larger structural carpentry and joinery packages. Small jobs are quoted the same way as large ones - inspected first, then a fixed price in writing.
Are you a licensed carpenter or a handyman?
Orange Projects is a QBCC-licensed building company (Licence No. 15620733), not an unlicensed handyman service. In Queensland any building work over $3,300 - including structural carpentry, framing, subfloor and stump repairs - legally requires a licensed contractor, and all of our carpentry in Isle of Capri is carried out under that licence and covered by insurance.
Can you repair termite or rot damaged timber?
Yes. Replacing damaged bearers, joists, stumps, wall framing, decking and external trim is regular work for us in Isle of Capri. We open up the affected area, confirm the extent of the damage, replace with treated or hardwood timber to suit the location, and involve an engineer where the member is structural.
How much do carpentry cost in Isle of Capri?
Smaller carpentry jobs generally start around $1,500-$5,000. Built-in joinery such as robes, entertainment units and media walls typically runs $4,000-$15,000 depending on size and finish.
