Timber Framing in Robina

Our timber framing service in Robina

Repairs that older homes actually need in Robina

Failures in older stock follow a pattern: rot at the base of posts and bearers, split or termite-damaged framing behind wet areas, sagging floors over failed stumps, and cladding that has held water behind unsealed joints. We open up enough to see the real extent before pricing, because a patch over rotten timber fails again within a couple of years. The housing includes estate homes, lakefront properties and townhouses, most with original kitchens and wet areas.

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 can require engineering, wind-rated details and tie-downs. We frame to the approved drawings and arrange the required inspections so the work can be certified.

What timber framing costs in Robina (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 move with access, the condition of what is already there, how much structural work is involved and the level of finish you choose. We confirm all of that at the inspection and price your Robina job rather than quoting from a range.
