Stage 1 · Measure
On site, with exposure assessed.
What we build, in detail
Four kinds of aluminium work, all engineered and permitted where required.
Program 01 · A permitted structure
Screen enclosures & pool cages
Wind load depends on your address, not on a general figure — exposure near open water is different from a sheltered inland lot. We build to an approved product specification for your location, pull the permit and attend the inspection, because an unpermitted enclosure becomes the owner's problem at resale and with insurance.
Stage 2 · Engineer
To the design wind load for the address.
Stage 3 · Permit
Pulled, with the approved specification.
Stage 4 · Build & inspect
Signed off by the authority.
Stage 1 · Purpose
Guard rail, or pool barrier.
Stage 2 · Requirements
Height, gaps, gate hardware.
Stage 3 · Build
To code, not to preference.
Stage 4 · Inspect
Attended through to sign-off.
Program 02 · Pool barriers are different
Railings & gates
An ordinary railing and a pool barrier are not the same product. Barrier height, gap dimensions, and self-closing self-latching gates with the latch at the required height are set by law, and an inspector checks each one. We build to those, and refuse designs that fail them.
Program 03 · Ventilation matters
Soffit, fascia & gutter
Soffit is not just trim — it ventilates the attic, and blocking it to make a tidy line traps heat and moisture in the roof structure. We keep the required ventilation area, and we deal with rotten fascia rather than cladding over it, which is the shortcut that hides a problem for five years.
Stage 1 · Inspect
Fascia condition and existing ventilation.
Stage 2 · Repair first
Rotten timber replaced, not covered.
Stage 3 · Install
With ventilation area maintained.
Stage 4 · Gutter
Sized and pitched to actually drain.
Stage 1 · Setbacks
What the lot and code actually allow.
Stage 2 · Engineer
Footings and uplift, to wind load.
Stage 3 · Permit
Pulled before fabrication.
Stage 4 · Build & inspect
Through to sign-off.
Program 04 · Also permitted structures
Carports & awnings
People are often surprised that a carport needs a permit and engineering. It does: it is a roof structure in a hurricane zone, and an unpermitted one is both a code violation and a thing that becomes airborne. We quote it properly rather than cheaply.
