We design and build custom timber decks to suit your yard, including sloping sites, curved and circular designs, and decks that wrap around pools and existing structures.

Questions

Decking FAQs

How much does a new deck cost in Brisbane?

Deck pricing depends on the size, the height off the ground, the timber or composite you choose, and any extras like stairs, screening or built-in seating. Rather than guess, we visit the site, take measurements and put together a clear written quote so you can see exactly what's included. There are no hidden price hikes once the job starts — the figure we quote is the figure we work to.

How do I get a quote for a deck?

Get in touch with a few details about what you're picturing and roughly where the deck will go. We'll arrange a time to visit the site, talk through materials and design options, and then send you a written, no-obligation quote. Free quotes are part of how we work, so there's no cost or commitment in finding out what your project would involve.

What timber do you use for decking?

We work with a range of decking timbers and materials and recommend the right one for your situation — your budget, how the deck will be used, sun exposure and the look you're after all matter. During the site visit we'll talk through the options so you can make an informed choice rather than being pushed toward a single product.

Do I need council approval for a deck?

Some decks need building approval and others don't, depending on the height, size and where they sit on the property. Queensland has clear rules under the Building Code of Australia and the Queensland Development Code. We're across these requirements and will let you know what your project needs as part of the quoting process so there are no surprises.

How long does it take to build a deck?

Build time depends on the size and complexity of the deck, site access, and the weather. A straightforward deck can come together quickly, while a larger or multi-level build with screening and seating takes longer. We'll give you a realistic timeframe with your quote and keep you updated throughout so you always know where the project stands.

Can you build decks on sloping or uneven ground?

Yes. We've built feature decks over uneven ground and around existing structures, including curved and circular designs. Sloping sites simply need the right structural approach, which we'll work out during the site visit. If your yard isn't flat, that doesn't rule out a great deck — it just shapes how we frame and support it.

Are you licensed and insured to build decks?

Yes. C3L Carpentry & Joinery is fully QBCC licensed and fully insured, and we stay up to date with the latest Queensland building codes and regulations. That means your deck is built to standard by a properly covered trade — important both for safety and if you ever come to sell the property.
