A patio or pergola is usually the cheapest way to add usable living space to a Maudsland home. We handle the design, the structure, the roofing and the finish as one job.
If you already have a deck or slab in Maudsland that goes unused because there is no shade, that is usually a quick job to price.

The question we get asked most in Maudsland is whether to go with a roofed patio or an open pergola. The honest answer depends on what you want the space to do: a solid roof gives you a year-round room, while a pergola gives you filtered light, air movement and a lighter look against the house.
Maudsland has grown quickly from acreage into a mix of newer estates and larger semi-rural holdings between Nerang and Coomera.
Newer estate homes needing flooring, joinery and outdoor living upgrades, alongside older acreage homes where decks, pergolas and timber repairs dominate.
Sloping estate blocks frequently suit elevated alfresco decks, and the older acreage stock often needs weathered verandah structures brought back up to standard after years of western sun.
You get an itemised fixed-price quote covering structure, roofing, fixings, engineering where required and rubbish removal, so you can compare it properly against anything else you have been given.

The part you never see decides how long the structure lasts. Footings are sized to the soil and the load, posts are fixed with proper brackets rather than concreted straight into the ground, and tie-downs are detailed for wind. Where engineering, certification or a building approval is required, we arrange it as part of the job.
Once the structure is up, the details are what make it liveable: downlights or festoon wiring run before the ceiling closes, a ceiling fan rated for outdoor use, weatherproof power points near the barbecue, and clean fascia, batten and post trim so nothing looks unfinished. Licensed electricians do the electrical work.

Not every job is new. We replace tired awnings and failing lattice pergolas, re-roof leaking patios, repair or replace rotted posts and beams, and rebuild structures that were never engineered for the loads they carry. If a repair is the sensible answer, we will quote the repair.
Where the house roof line will not work, a freestanding pergola or cabana sited away from the building often gives a better result. It can be positioned for the view, the breeze or the pool rather than for whatever the existing fascia allows, and it keeps the house structure untouched.
Attached patio roofs are the workhorse of Queensland outdoor living. We build insulated panel, flyover and gable style patios that connect cleanly into the existing roof or fascia, with a pitch that keeps the space bright rather than dark and boxed in. Span, post spacing and beam sizing are set for the structure you actually want, not for whatever the standard kit allows.
A pergola gives you shade and structure without closing the sky off. We build hardwood and treated pine pergolas with proper joinery at the connections, batten spacing chosen for the sun angle over your yard, and posts set on engineered footings rather than surface plates. Left natural, oiled or painted, they hold up far better than a flat-pack frame.
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.
Send through your address and what you have in mind. We will inspect the site, talk through the options that suit your house and yard, and give you an itemised fixed price in writing. QBCC Licence No. 15620733.
