What's included

Carports we build

  • Freestanding carports

    On their own posts and footings, anywhere on the block the setbacks allow.

  • Attached carports

    Fixed to the house or an existing structure, with the roof tied in so it drains properly.

  • Gable, skillion and flat roofs

    A roof shape that suits the house, in steel sheeting or insulated panels.

  • Slab and footings

    Concreting is done by our own crew, so the slab, footings and structure are one job and one schedule.

  • Extra height

    Taller clearance for a caravan, boat or four-wheel drive with a roof rack.

  • Design, engineering and certification

    In-house design and drafting, structural engineering and building certification, to FNQ cyclone-rating and site-specific requirements. You get approved plans, ready to build.

Built for here

Built for Cairns conditions, not southern averages.

Humidity, termites, salt air and cyclone season are the job, not add-ons. This is what that means for carports.

  • Footings and tie-downs sized for wind region C
  • Cyclone-rated roofing, brackets and fixings
  • Engineering and certification to site-specific requirements, included
  • QBCC licence covers sheds, carports and garages

Carports questions

Do carports need approval in Cairns?
Often yes, depending on size, height and how close the carport sits to a boundary. Design, drafting, engineering and certification are included in our carport package, so the approval is taken care of before we build.
Can a carport go close to my boundary?
Boundary clearances depend on council rules and on whether the carport is open-sided. We design around what applies to your block, so the plans are right the first time.
Do you pour the slab as well?
Yes. The slab and footings are poured by our own crew before the posts go in, so there is no second contractor to coordinate.
How long does a carport take?
Usually a few days on site once materials and any approval are in. A new slab needs time to cure before the structure goes up, which we build into the schedule.
