What Elevated Deck Construction Involves
We design and build elevated decks using strong, weather-resistant materials. The structure is supported by durable framing and footings, ensuring stability and compliance with relevant building standards. Balustrades, stairs, and integrated lighting can also be included for safety and functionality.
The Elevated Deck Construction Process
The process starts with a site assessment to determine the best position, size, and style of the deck. After design approval, we prepare the site, install the supporting framework, and fit the decking boards. All structural elements are built to withstand heavy use and exposure to the elements.
Benefits of an Elevated Deck
An elevated deck can create usable space where ground-level options aren’t practical, provide better views, and connect upper floors to the outdoors. It can also add value to a property and enhance its overall design appeal.

Elevated Deck Construction FAQs
An elevated deck is a raised timber or composite structure built above ground level, often attached to two-storey homes or sloping blocks. In Melbourne, elevated decks are popular because they maximise outdoor living space, provide views, and create a functional transition between indoor and outdoor areas.
The cost of an elevated deck in Melbourne depends on size, height, materials, and structural requirements. On average, prices are higher than ground-level decks due to additional support posts, engineering, and safety features like balustrades. A site inspection and tailored quote will give you an accurate estimate.
Yes, most elevated decks in Melbourne require council permits and compliance with the Victorian Building Authority (VBA) regulations. This includes engineering for load-bearing, drainage, and balustrade height. Our team manages the entire approval process so your deck is built legally and safely.
Elevated decks are usually built from durable timber such as Merbau, Spotted Gum, or Blackbutt, or from low-maintenance composite decking. The choice depends on budget, maintenance preferences, and the overall style of your home.
Most elevated decks in Melbourne take between 3 to 6 weeks to complete, depending on design complexity, weather, and council approval times. Large projects or multi-level decks may take longer, but we provide clear timelines before construction begins.
