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.
Tell us about the work you're considering and our team will be in touch within 1 business day.
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.

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

Salt air near the water means stainless or coated fixings and roofing with the right coating for the location.
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.
We inspect the property, then put an itemised fixed price in writing covering structure, roofing, fixings and rubbish removal. No vague allowances.
We are carpenters first, so a structure can be designed around your house rather than trimmed to fit a catalogue kit.
Engineering, footings, structure, roofing, electrical coordination and finishing carpentry are managed by the one team, so nothing falls between trades.
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.
We settle the style, roofing type, timber or steel structure, ceiling treatment and finishes, and confirm anything that affects price before quoting.
You receive an itemised quote covering structure, roofing, fixings, engineering where required, electrical coordination and site clean-up.
Where a structure needs an engineer's design or building approval, we organise the documentation and certification as part of the job.
Footings, frame, roofing, guttering and finishing carpentry, worked around your household rather than taking over the property.
Final walkthrough, defect check, clean site and any certificates or product warranties handed over with the invoice.
We will check the setbacks on your block, work out how few posts we can get away with, and quote it in writing. QBCC Licence No. 15620733.
