What is different about building here

Building conditions change from one part of Brisbane to another. These are the ones that matter in this area.

  • Queenslanders and the two-storey attachment

    A patio on a high-set Queenslander is a different job to one on a low-set brick home. The connection is higher, so the posts are longer and the engineering changes. This is where a patio picked from a catalogue most often has to compromise.

  • Character overlays

    The older southside suburbs carry character overlays on many streets, and they affect what a roof can do at the front of a house more than at the back. We check the address before we quote.

  • Bayside breeze and salt

    Wynnum, Manly and the Redlands get the breeze, which is why people want an outdoor room there. They also get the salt, and that decides the specification.

Your council, and what it wants

More than one council covers this area: Brisbane City Council, Logan City Council, Redland City Council. The three things that decide approval are the same across South East Queensland. They are mean height, boundary setback and any overlay over your property.

You can build to within 500mm of a boundary with your neighbour's written agreement, and approval usually runs 2–6 weeks.

We prepare the drawings, lodge the application and deal with the council, whichever one it is.

With your neighbour's written agreement, the setback can come down to 500mm.
