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 Jacobs Well
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.
Footing options
Concrete pad or pier footings
The most common choice. A hole is dug to firm ground, concrete is poured and a galvanised stirrup is set in it for the post. Reliable on most ground, but it needs digging, concrete and curing time.
Screw piles
Steel shafts with a helix that are screwed into the ground with a machine or hand tool until they reach the required resistance. They can be loaded straight away, cause little mess and can work well in sandy or soft ground. They cost more per footing and need the right equipment.
Adjustable pedestals
For very low decks over a slab or compacted base. Not suitable for raised decks.
Choosing for the site
We look at the ground when we visit, and if the soil is soft, sandy or filled, or the water table is high, we may suggest deeper footings or screw piles. We do not guess. If an engineer is involved, they set the footing type and depth.
Low decks and drainage
On flatter blocks, decks often sit low. Water needs to drain away from under the frame, or the timber stays wet. We shape the ground, use ground-rated timber and leave airflow at the sides.
Wet weather and timing
Concrete footings need a few dry days to dig and pour. After heavy rain, holes can fill with water. Screw piles are less affected by weather, which can help keep a job on schedule.
Boards
Hardwood, treated pine or composite from Ekodeck and Ezy Decking all sit on the same frame types. More on composite decking.
Supply, install and cost
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. Screw piles or deeper footings are itemised. We also install boards you supply. See decking.
