Timber Framing in Logan
Structural timber framing - wall, floor and roof framing, load-bearing wall removal and engineered beams, structural openings, subfloor and stump replacement, and termite or rot damaged framing repairs. Orange Projects is a QBCC-licensed builder (Licence No. 15620733) delivering timber framing across Logan and the wider South East Queensland region.
Timber Framing in Logan - what to expect
Logan sits between Brisbane and the Gold Coast and offers some of the best renovation value in South East Queensland - larger blocks, solid original construction and owners who improve rather than move. 1970s to 1990s brick low-sets and split-level homes across Springwood, Shailer Park and Daisy Hill, newer estate housing through the southern corridor, and acreage on the bushland fringes. For timber framing specifically, this matters. Split-level plans and sloping bush blocks are the main design consideration, and asbestos-era materials are still common in homes from this period, so testing and licensed removal are budgeted rather than discovered mid-job. Bushfire overlay applies in parts of Daisy Hill and Priestdale. Every 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 timber framing service in Logan
Structural openings and beams
Opening a kitchen into living is the most requested structural change we quote. Done properly it means confirming what the wall carries, an engineer sizing the beam and supports, temporary propping, the beam and posts taken down to adequate footings, and certification at completion - all carried out under our QBCC licence.
Subfloor, bearers, joists and stumps
Older homes commonly hide their worst problems under the floor: sagging bearers, damaged joists, rotted stumps and floors that slope. We inspect, map the damage and replace what needs replacing with treated hardwood or steel before relevelling. On a character home this is almost always the job that has to come before any cosmetic renovation.
Framing for decks, extensions and build-unders
Elevated decks, patios, build-under conversions and new rooms all carry engineering, wind-rating and tie-down requirements in South East Queensland, and coastal areas sit in higher wind regions than inland ones. We frame to the engineered drawings and book frame-stage inspections so certification is straightforward.
What timber framing cost in Logan (2026)
Small structural repairs generally start around $3,000-$8,000. Beam installations with engineering and certification typically run $6,000-$20,000, and full subfloor rebuilds or restumping $10,000-$35,000. Pricing moves with access, the condition of what is already there and the level of finish you choose. Split-level plans and sloping bush blocks are the main design consideration, and asbestos-era materials are still common in homes from this period, so testing and licensed removal are budgeted rather than discovered mid-job. Bushfire overlay applies in parts of Daisy Hill and Priestdale.
How long timber framing take
Small structural repairs take 2-5 days. Beam installations usually run 1-2 weeks. Subfloor rebuilds, restumping and build-under framing generally take 3-6 weeks.

Frequently asked questions - Logan
How much does it cost to remove a load-bearing wall?
In Logan, removing a load-bearing wall and installing an engineered beam typically costs $6,000-$20,000 including engineering, propping, the beam, posts, footings, patching and certification. Long spans, upper-floor loads and steel beams needing craneage sit above that range.
Can you repair termite or rot damaged framing?
Yes, and it is regular work in Logan. We open up the affected area to find the true extent - almost always larger than what is visible - replace the damaged studs, plates, bearers or joists, address the moisture source, and work alongside a licensed pest manager where termites are involved.
Do you do restumping and subfloor repairs?
Yes. Sagging bearers, borer or termite damaged joists, rotted timber stumps and sloping floors are common in the older cottages and Queenslanders around Logan. We inspect the subfloor, map the damage, replace with treated hardwood or steel and relevel the floor.
