Timber Framing in Reedy Creek - what to expect
Reedy Creek is a green, elevated residential pocket behind Burleigh with a strong family demographic and homes that are now well into renovation age. Late-1990s and 2000s two-storey brick homes on sloping estate blocks, plus larger acreage-style properties toward the western edge. Kitchen updates, ensuite renovations, decks and internal reconfigurations are typical. For timber framing specifically, this matters. Sloping estate blocks mean elevated decks with engineered posts and balustrade compliance, plus careful stormwater consideration. Two-storey homes also need proper access planning for material handling. Every Reedy Creek 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 Reedy Creek
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 Reedy Creek (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. Prices vary with access, existing condition and the level of finish you choose. Sloping estate blocks mean elevated decks with engineered posts and balustrade compliance, plus careful stormwater consideration. Two-storey homes also need proper access planning for material handling.

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.

How much does it cost to remove a load-bearing wall?

Can you repair termite or rot damaged framing?
Yes, and it is regular work in Reedy Creek. 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 Reedy Creek. We inspect the subfloor, map the damage, replace with treated hardwood or steel and relevel the floor.
