Approvals, Engineering & Peace of Mind

The Technical Side, Taken Care Of

Adding a patio or residential shade structure can involve more than choosing a style. Depending on the project, drafting, structural engineering, certification and council approvals may also be required. Perth Better Homes helps coordinate these requirements so homeowners have a clearer path from design through to installation.

Less guesswork for the homeowner

We help you understand what is required for your specific project and coordinate the relevant steps where applicable.

Site-Specific Design

Your structure is planned around the home, available space, intended use and site conditions rather than a one-size-fits-all design.

Drafting & Structural Engineering

Project drawings, engineering and structural certification can be coordinated where required for the individual patio or shade structure.

Council Approvals & Documentation

Where approvals or supporting documentation are required, these can be coordinated as part of the project process.

Professional Installation

Installation is planned around access, site requirements and the practical considerations of working at your home.

We engaged Perth Better Homes to construct a roof over our deck. We were very happy with the quality workmanship and the conscientious attitude of the workmen. There was minimal disruption while building was underway and we are more than happy with the finished structure.
