What to include in the scope
Use these items to make the initial conversation specific. The final scope must reflect the property and the provider’s assessment.
- Site measure, levels and intended use
- Footings and structural support design
- Decking material and fixing system
- Stairs, edges and barriers where required
- Drainage, approvals and maintenance handover
What changes the price?
Deck height, footing conditions, framing, stairs, barriers and access all affect cost. Compare the complete installed structure, not just the board price. Confirm whether engineering, approvals, staining or sealing and site clean-up are included.
Questions before you commit
Does a small deck need approval?
Some work may qualify as exempt or complying development, but standards and site exclusions apply. Confirm the pathway for your proposal with council or an appropriate professional.
Is composite maintenance-free?
Ask for the chosen product’s cleaning and maintenance instructions. Material warranties and workmanship warranties have different conditions.
Who would quote and do the work?
The proposed platform introduces customers to independent providers. The matched provider would assess the property, issue the quote, enter the contract and perform the work. A match is not a substitute for checking their identity, licence scope and insurance.
