This established home in BORONIA was a very comfortable residence... as long as you stayed indoors! The outdoor area offered no protection from the elements whatsoever. You either got soaked in the rain or burnt under the Summer Sun. Clearly, something needed to be done! After getting several quotes and accessing what was on offer, the owners decided to proceed with Melbourne Deck Builders, TIMBER DECKING NOW. Our extensive experience and a host of photos and ideas from previous projects in part, won the day! The clients settled on a gabled roofline to maximise the headroom, which would have diminished had a flat roof being installed. The depth of the construction necessitated the gable roof to maintain a constant clearance throughout. They also wished to keep the gables open at both ends by means of a few vertical inserts only. Timber Decking Now suggested a couple of polycarbonate (Laserlite) sheets over the windows to maintain natural light entering the home. This feature was taken up also. The build was quick, tidy and efficient. The clients later stated that they accepted the Timber Decking Now quote "due to the clear explanations to all our questions and concerns, plus the obvious experience, and lastly... we felt relaxed and we could trust you guys". This weatherboard unit in Box Hill South was almost brand new. Out the back was a very small deck of the type that builders instal to get a Certificate of Occupancy.
What the new owner wanted was an outdoor deck at floor level, SS wire inserts in the hand rails, and access via a Merbau faced set of steps to the clothes line. The deck was constructed on two levels to accommodate the owners desire to have a separate raised area for a small outdoor setting. The garden was fully established due to the unit being built as a"dual occupancy" on backyard site. The deck addition added real value to already desirable unit by way of creating a practical and appealing outdoor living zone. Melbourne Deck Builders, TIMBER DECKING NOW, we're very satisfied with the results of this project. The client was FAR MORE satisfied and made sure we knew it with a celebrative beer and a long chat on completion. Back in 2007 Timber Decking Now received a call from a young professional couple living in leafy BLACKBURN, an outer Eastern Suburb of MELBOURNE. The initial call was to construct a relatively small MERBAU timber deck to replace a broken concrete pad outside a recently renovated living room. Having won and completed the Merbau deck, the delighted owner then asked Melbourne Deck Builders, Timber Decking Now to construct the lovely outdoor gazebo style structure shown in the photos. The gazebo was to compliment the brand new in ground pool and surrounds, plus a permanent outdoor BBQ and entertainment zone. The structure features a hip roof, "Colourbond" roofing and fully lined with pine tongue & groove lining boards. The installation of the lining boards was the most time consuming factor in this project. Two full days were spent getting every aspect geometrically perfect. The photos show the gazebo at virtual completion except for the exterior lining of the Merbau privacy screen and the final finish on the complicated ceiling. Needless to say, the owners we're ecstatic with the result, which far exceeded their expectations. Their choice of colours and style flowed seamlessly from boundary to boundary. From our point of view, the gazebo perfectly complimented the resort style environment the owners had created in what was previously a very uninspiring rear garden area. In the Winter of 2007 Timber Decking Now received a call from an Italian couple who were in the process of completing their new home in Rowville. This was their first build and they were eager to move in and enjoy the luxury and space their new home afforded them. There was one big problem however! Prior to moving in, the owners decided to install an in ground pool to avoid the inevitable mud and mess made with any excavation in Winter. However, things got delayed... the rain and mud slowed the project down to such an extent that time was running out! Moving in day was only weeks away and that rain filled concrete hole in the back yard presented a real danger to their young children. Timber Decking Now we're called with an urgent brief to build a MERBAU deck immediately behind the new home and add a complying 1200mm semi frameless glass pool fence as a matter of urgency! TDN attended the very next day, measured and quoted the supply and install on the spot, and gave a very early start and completion date. NO OTHER CONTRACTOR offered the client this level of service. TDN was awarded the project within 24 hours of quoting on the basis of the above. Our team swung straight into action, ordering all the building materials and glass fencing. We then scheduled every facet of the install to a set date. The photos clearly show the deck install completed, along with the glass completed! The pool remains uncompleted and the deadline met well prior the owners moving in to their new home. |
