Patios in Labrador
Water is where many patios go wrong. Undersized gutters overflow in summer storms, downpipes dump onto paths, and water runs back toward the house.

Why choose Orange Projects
Engineering, footings, structure, roofing, electrical coordination and finishing carpentry are managed by the one team, so nothing falls between trades.
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). We confirm the building scope in writing; current licence details and relevant insurance certificates can be requested before work starts.
Getting the water off
A patio roof collects a lot of water. We size the gutter for the roof area and set enough fall for it to drain. Downpipes are positioned so water goes to stormwater or a garden, not onto the patio floor.
Where the patio meets the house, flashing and gutter details prevent water running between the two roofs.
Drainage details
Gutter sizing
Sized to the roof area so it copes with heavy downpours.
Downpipe positions
Placed at corners or posts and connected to stormwater by a licensed plumber where practical.
Junction with the house
Flashings and gutter overlaps keep water out of the gap between roofs.
Our process
- 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.
- 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.
- 03
Fixed-price written quote
You receive an itemised quote covering structure, roofing, fixings, engineering where required, electrical coordination and site clean-up.
- 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.
- 05
Construction
Footings, frame, roofing, guttering and finishing carpentry, worked around your household rather than taking over the property.
- 06
Handover
Final walkthrough, defect check, clean site and any certificates or product warranties handed over with the invoice.
