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.
Patios on older houses
On older homes, the fascia can be undersized or have soft spots. Fixing a patio to it without checking is asking for trouble. We look in the roof space where we can and check the rafters and fascia condition.
If the framing needs strengthening, we include it in the quote. If it cannot take the load, a freestanding or flyover design avoids relying on it.
Fixing to an older house
Fascia condition
Checked for rot, size and fixings before we rely on it.
Strengthening
Extra blocking or brackets into the rafters where needed.
Alternatives
Freestanding or flyover designs where the house framing is not suitable.
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.
