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 Ormeau
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.
It's one of the first questions people ask: do I need a permit for a deck? The honest answer is that it depends on the deck. Height, size, how close it is to the boundary and whether it has a roof all come into it.
Things that usually trigger approval
- Decks more than about a metre off the ground.
- Larger decks, or decks attached to the house with a roof.
- Decks close to a boundary.
- Decks forming part of a pool fence or barrier.
These are general guides only. The exact rules come from Queensland building law and the Gold Coast planning scheme, and a certifier makes the call.
Estate covenants
Newer estates may also have design guidelines that cover materials, colours or setbacks. These are separate from building approval and sit on your title or contract. If you have them, send them through with your enquiry.
Why it matters later
Unapproved structures can come up in building and pest reports when you sell, and they can complicate insurance claims. Getting approval at the start is usually simpler than chasing it afterwards.
How we handle it
We look at the design, tell you whether it is likely to need approval and can work with a private certifier and engineer when it does. Our blog on council approval for decks in Queensland goes into more detail.
Prices
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. Approval and engineering costs are listed separately in the quote when they apply. Install only is also available. See deck builders.
