What your project can include
Timber decking
Discuss the board choice, layout and finish for a natural timber deck. Exposure, everyday use and the care you are prepared to give the timber should guide the material discussion and quotation.
Composite decking
Compare composite board options, colours and edge details for an outdoor area. Ask the contractor to explain the proposed product, support system and care requirements before settling on a specification.
Steps, levels and finishing details
Plan the connection between the house, deck and garden, including steps and exposed edges. Supports, drainage, access and any guarding requirements need to be assessed for the actual site and deck height.
Before the site discussion
A little preparation helps
- Share photos, approximate dimensions and the location of doors, drains and existing outdoor surfaces.
- Explain how you want to use the deck and whether steps or changes in level are involved.
- Collect material and finish examples, and discuss access, exposure and maintenance during the site assessment.
What affects the quote?
Deck area, material specification, height, ground conditions and the supporting structure affect the quotation. Steps, edge finishes, site access and preparation can add work. Ask for the deck boards, supports, fixings, finishing and any removal or making good to be clearly described. Final dimensions and site requirements should be confirmed before materials are ordered.
Discuss the scope, availability and pricing during the site visit, then review each contractor’s quotation independently.

Useful to know
Decking questions
Should I choose timber or composite decking?
Compare the appearance, product specification, budget and maintenance requirements for your site. Ask the contractor to explain the proposed materials and support system rather than assuming all timber or composite boards perform the same way.
Can a deck be built on sloping or uneven ground?
The site needs assessment before a suitable design and price can be confirmed. Share photos and changes in level so the contractor can discuss supports, access, drainage and any additional design requirements.
Can I request decking and a pergola together?
Yes. Select Decking and Pergola on the same enquiry, and include Building if alterations are also involved. We bring the relevant vetted contractors together for the initial site visit. You can review and choose their quotations independently.
