We design and build patios, pergolas and covered outdoor areas for Sovereign Islands homes, from a simple shade structure over the back door to a full alfresco roof that turns the yard into a second living room.
Tell us roughly what you want the space to do and we will inspect the site in Sovereign Islands and come back with a fixed written price.

Most Sovereign Islands homeowners do not need more indoor floor area, they need somewhere shaded to actually use the yard. A well-built patio or pergola does that for a fraction of the cost of an extension, and it is the part of the house the family ends up living in.
Sovereign Islands is the northern Gold Coast's premier waterfront address, and standards are correspondingly high. Work here is measured on finish quality and on how well the build is managed day to day.
Large architectural waterfront residences, many with substantial joinery packages, expansive glazing and pool-side entertaining areas. Renovations tend to be high-value, staged and specification-driven.
Access is via a single causeway, so deliveries, waste removal and trade parking are planned in advance. Direct Broadwater exposure means 316-grade stainless fixings, marine finishes and careful detailing on every external element.
We quote after inspecting the property, not from photos. Post locations, footing depths, tie-in details and drainage all change the price, so it is better to sort them out before you commit than to discover them mid-build.

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.
An entertaining area needs more than a roof. We plan the space around the table, the barbecue or outdoor kitchen, power and lighting, fans and where people will move between the kitchen and outside. Getting the ceiling height and the width right at design stage is what separates a space that gets used every week from one that feels tight.
Roofing choice sets the temperature under the structure. Insulated panels cut radiant heat and give a clean flat ceiling, single-skin colorbond is the budget option, polycarbonate keeps light coming into rooms behind, and a mix of the two often works best. We also handle guttering, downpipes and stormwater connection so water goes where it should.
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 are carpenters first, so a structure can be designed around your house rather than trimmed to fit a catalogue kit.
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 build patios, pergolas and alfresco roofing across Sovereign Islands under our QBCC licence. Book a site visit and you will get a clear written price with no allowances hiding the tricky parts. QBCC Licence No. 15620733.
