YEAR-ROUND USE
Built for Comfort
Every home and property is different, and that’s why no two patios we build are ever the same. We listen to what you want from your space, then guide you through your options. Whether you’re after a flat roof, gable, or a fully insulated structure for year-round use, we help you choose a design that suits your property and budget. Our patios don’t just look good — they’re built to last, handle harsh weather, and add serious value to your home or business.
You’ll also benefit from our full-service approach. From helping you visualise the layout to cleaning up after the final screw is drilled in, we make it easy. No chasing trades, no confusing paperwork — just a smooth, supportive process from start to finish.

Do I need council approval to build a patio?
In many NSW councils, you may need approval depending on the patio's height, size, location on your block, and proximity to boundaries. If the structure is freestanding and under certain size limits, it might fall under exempt development. However, attached patios or those with significant roofing often require a Development Application (DA) or Complying Development Certificate (CDC). It’s best to check with your local council or work with a builder who can handle approvals.
What is the best roofing material for a patio?
The best roofing material depends on your needs and the style of your home. Insulated roofing panels are great for reducing heat and noise and offer a clean, modern look. Polycarbonate roofing lets in natural light and suits areas where you want a bright finish, while Colorbond® steel is a long-lasting option that works well with most Australian homes. Always consider weather conditions, maintenance needs, and visual appeal when choosing.
Can a patio add value to my property?
Yes, adding a well-designed patio can significantly boost the appeal and resale value of your home. Buyers appreciate usable outdoor space — especially in coastal and regional areas like Forster or Newcastle, where lifestyle matters. A covered patio adds versatility, turning your backyard into an all-weather entertainment or dining area. It can also increase the visual footprint of your home, making it feel more spacious and complete.
