Recent Work
Local projects in Cashmere
Our projects in Cashmere often involve harnessing the suburb's beautiful but challenging terrain. We specialise in building robust, compliant decks and external staircases on steeply sloping blocks, creating functional outdoor spaces where others see difficulty. We have extensive experience working with BAL-rated materials for homes in bushfire overlay zones, ensuring your new pergola or verandah is not only beautiful but safe. We also handle numerous timber repairs for local homes, addressing issues like deck subsidence caused by reactive clay soils or weathering from the Queensland climate.
Build Conditions
Local climate in Cashmere
Cashmere's leafy environment and proximity to reserves means many properties fall under a Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) overlay. This requires specific building materials and construction methods to mitigate fire risk, something Michael is well-versed in. The area's subtropical humidity and high rainfall also accelerate timber decay and fungal growth, making correct material choice and maintenance crucial for the longevity of decks, stairs, and pergolas.
Approvals
Council & compliance in Cashmere
All building work in Cashmere is governed by the Moreton Bay Regional Council. Navigating their planning scheme, especially regarding building envelopes, boundary setbacks on large blocks, and requirements for building within a BAL overlay, can be complex. As licenced carpenters, we can help ensure your project is designed and built to be fully compliant, streamlining the approval process and providing peace of mind.
Property Types
Homes we work on in Cashmere
The suburb is characterised by a mix of housing styles, including 1980s and 90s brick lowsets on expansive blocks and more contemporary multi-level homes built to capture views. These properties often feature extensive timber decks, verandahs, and external staircases that are essential for outdoor living and navigating the hilly terrain. We are experienced in working on both older and modern homes, tailoring our approach to suit the specific construction style.
