What's Included
What we cover for smaller projects.
Decks & Alfresco Areas
Outdoor living spaces documented and prepared for the correct approval pathway.
Carports & Garages
Straightforward, compliant drawings for vehicle structures, attached or freestanding.

Accurate documentation for sheds and outbuildings of all sizes.
Pool & Landscape Structures
Supporting drawings for pool surrounds, pergolas and other landscape elements.
Working out what approval you actually need.
Many smaller structures are exempt from full development approval, or qualify for a simpler code-assessable pathway — but the rules vary by council and by exactly what you’re building. We tell you upfront what applies, so you’re not paying for more process than necessary.
Drawings sized to the job.
A deck doesn’t need the same documentation depth as a full home rebuild — but it does need to be accurate. We keep the drawing set Learn and focused on exactly what your builder and council need to see.
Common Questions
Decks, Outdoor & Smaller Works FAQs.
Do I need council or building approval for a deck?
In most cases, yes. Decks, carports and similar structures typically require building approval, which in turn usually involves a certifier and a structural engineer. The best path forward is to start with accurate, comprehensive documentation, which gives those consultants what they need and keeps the approval moving.
What about a carport or shed?
Similar to decks, most carports and sheds require building approval and the input of a certifier and structural engineer. We prepare the documentation that underpins that process, so the right consultants can do their part without delay.
How long does documentation for a smaller project take?
Timeframes depend on the project and council requirements. We’ll give you a specific timeline when we prepare your quote.
Can you combine a few smaller projects into one submission?
In many cases, yes. If you’re planning a deck and a shed together, for example, we can often document and submit them as a combined package.
Not Sure Where To Start?
Planning something bigger down the line?
If your smaller project is part of a larger plan, these might be relevant too.
