Frequently Asked Questions
Do you handle council approval?
Yes, we handle the entire process of lodging applications with the Council and maintain communication throughout both the planning and building application stages. We represent you until the building approval is fully secured. Our products are engineered to meet the latest Australian Standards (AS460), which streamlines the council approval process.
Do you do free quotes?
Planning and designing are essential steps in any home improvement project. Our experienced design consultants are available to visit your home or business to discuss your needs and take precise measurements. We understand that every project is unique, and so are the quotes from different companies. We consider all aspects, including structural reinforcement, water management, aesthetics, and value for money. Best of all, this consultation service is completely free of charge.
What climate considerations should I consider?
We use materials specifically engineered to endure South Australia's intense 40°C summer heat while also offering dependable rain protection. These high-quality materials play a crucial role in safeguarding you and your home from extreme weather conditions, ensuring durability and comfort year-round. By selecting the right materials, you not only enhance the longevity of your outdoor spaces but also ensure that they remain functional and stylish in the face of harsh elements.
Does my structure comply with Australian Standards?
All our structures are fully certified to meet Australian standards, ensuring the highest quality and safety. If your project involves a challenging design that falls outside standard specifications, we will arrange for it to be privately engineered or certified. This ensures that even complex or unique structures receive the necessary expert validation, giving you peace of mind that your project meets all required regulations and standards.
