Timber Framing in Springwood
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 Springwood and the wider Logan region.
Timber Framing in Springwood - what to expect
Springwood is one of Logan's original commercial and residential centres, with mature streets, good motorway access and a strong owner-occupier renovation market. Largely 1970s and 1980s brick low-sets and split-level homes on sloping blocks, plus a band of townhouses closer to the business district. Kitchens, flooring, bathrooms and opening up dated compartmentalised living areas are the most requested scopes. For timber framing specifically, this matters. Split-level floor plans and sloping sites mean level changes and step-downs are the main design challenge here, and asbestos-era materials are still common in eaves, wet areas and sheeting, so testing and licensed removal are budgeted from the start. Every Springwood 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 Springwood
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 Springwood (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. Split-level floor plans and sloping sites mean level changes and step-downs are the main design challenge here, and asbestos-era materials are still common in eaves, wet areas and sheeting, so testing and licensed removal are budgeted from the start.
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 - Springwood
How much does it cost to remove a load-bearing wall?
In Springwood, 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 Springwood. 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 Springwood. We inspect the subfloor, map the damage, replace with treated hardwood or steel and relevel the floor.

What makes timber framing different in Springwood?
Largely 1970s and 1980s brick low-sets and split-level homes on sloping blocks, plus a band of townhouses closer to the business district.

Do I need approval or a licensed builder?
In Queensland, residential building work over $3,300 must be carried out by a QBCC-licensed contractor. Structural work and elevated decks also require engineering and building approval. We arrange the certification and documentation as part of the job.
