The footings are the part of a patio you never see and the part that matters most in a storm. They need to be sized for the soil on your block, not just dug to a standard depth.
Tell us about the work you're considering and our team will be in touch within 1 business day.
A patio roof wants to lift in high wind. The footings and tie-downs stop it. Where the ground is sandy it gives less grip than clay, so footings may need to be wider or deeper.
We dig and pour footings to the design, set post brackets in the concrete and keep the base clear of water. It is not glamorous work, but it is why the roof stays put.

Set by the design, soil and wind rating. We do not guess.
Galvanised or stainless brackets cast into concrete, raised off the ground.

Brackets fixed into rafters or wall framing, not just the fascia board.
Materials and fixings are chosen for Gold Coast sun, storms and, near the water, salt air, which is what determines whether a structure still looks good in ten years.
Access protected, offcuts cleared daily, and honest updates on what is happening and when.
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 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 soil and exposure on site and give you a fixed written price. QBCC Licence No. 15620733.
