Build & handover

Designed, not templated
Built around your block, not a catalogue plan
Every Hobart block is different, and a lot of them aren’t flat. Ryan designs each deck around the actual site — the slope, the aspect, where the sun sits in the afternoon, how you get from the kitchen out to it — rather than starting from a standard plan and forcing the block to fit it.
That matters most on the harder sites: elevated builds, sloping blocks, and anywhere access for materials is tight. If your block falls into that category, it’s worth reading through how sloping-block decks are built before you get quotes elsewhere.
If you’ve already got a deck that’s just too small rather than needing a full rebuild, an extension is usually the cheaper path. And every new deck above a certain height needs proper stairs and balustrades built to code, not bolted on as an afterthought.
Choosing your decking material
Composite, hardwood and treated pine all suit different budgets and maintenance appetites. If you haven’t settled on a material yet, compare the decking types before the design stage — it’s easier to plan for the right material from the start than to switch partway through.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How long does building a new deck take?
- Most residential decks in Hobart take one to three weeks from the first post going in to handover, depending on size, height and whether the block needs retaining or extra footings first.
- Do I need a permit to build a deck in Hobart?
- It depends on the height, size and location of the deck. Ryan will tell you upfront whether your build needs a permit, and works with licensed builders where one is required, so nothing gets built that shouldn’t have.
- Can you design the deck as well as build it?
- Yes. Ryan will walk the block with you, talk through how you actually want to use the space, and design the deck around that before any timber is ordered.
