Broadbeach Waters

Patios for Canal Homes in Broadbeach Waters

On a canal block, the view is the point of the backyard. A patio here should frame the water, not block it, which means fewer posts, a slim roof edge and careful placement.

Keeping the view open

Every post you add is something to look around. We use beams that span further, so posts can sit at the corners instead of every few metres. A thin roof edge and a lighter colour also keep the structure from feeling heavy against the water.

We check where the structure can go on your block before designing, since canal properties often have rules about building near the revetment wall.

Setbacks from the water

There are often limits on how close you can build to a canal revetment wall. We check this early so the design does not need to be redrawn.

Fewer posts, longer beams

Steel beams let us span wider openings. The trade-off is cost, so we show you the price with and without the longer spans.

Corrosion-resistant fixings

Salt air near the water means stainless or coated fixings and roofing with the right coating for the location.

Why choose Orange Projects

QBCC-licensed building company

Orange Projects is a QBCC-licensed builder (Licence No. 15620733) carrying full insurance, so structural outdoor work is carried out under licence rather than by an unlicensed installer.

Fixed-price quotes after a site visit

We inspect the property, then put an itemised fixed price in writing covering structure, roofing, fixings and rubbish removal. No vague allowances.

Carpenter-led, not kit-only

We are carpenters first, so a structure can be designed around your house rather than trimmed to fit a catalogue kit.

One team from footings to finish

Engineering, footings, structure, roofing, electrical coordination and finishing carpentry are managed by the one team, so nothing falls between trades.

Our process

  1. 01

    Site inspection

    We walk the yard with you, check the roof line, ground levels, sun path and where posts can realistically land, and talk through how you want to use the space.

  2. 02

    Design and material selection

    We settle the style, roofing type, timber or steel structure, ceiling treatment and finishes, and confirm anything that affects price before quoting.

  3. 03

    Fixed-price written quote

    You receive an itemised quote covering structure, roofing, fixings, engineering where required, electrical coordination and site clean-up.

  4. 04

    Engineering and approvals where needed

    Where a structure needs an engineer's design or building approval, we organise the documentation and certification as part of the job.

  5. 05

    Construction

    Footings, frame, roofing, guttering and finishing carpentry, worked around your household rather than taking over the property.

  6. 06

    Handover

    Final walkthrough, defect check, clean site and any certificates or product warranties handed over with the invoice.
