A range of factors will affect the total outlay of your deck:
- Size of the area you plan to build on
- Type of material you use (timber/softwood/hardwood/ composite)
- If you include a balustrade, verandahs and pergolas or stairs
- Foundations to be constructed on (soil type can affect this)
- Council permits (if any)
- If the area is elevated/ slanted then this can create challenges in the built and add further expense/ labour costs
Most customers will normally see costs of around
- $200/m2 for treated pine decks
- $320+ /m2 for hardwood timber
- $350+ /m2 for composite
- $800+ /m2 for deck with roofing and/or stairs
- $1000+ for elevated cyclone rated decking
