What Eastwood is built on
Scoping pergola and decking work at Eastwood addresses
Eastwood is 2.45 km south-east of the Adelaide CBD and inside the 60 km service area. The scope is written from what is measured and seen on site, not from an assumed rate or a photo. The footings carry the roof and the crowd, so the ground the posts sit on is settled before anything is framed.
How it goes
How a Eastwood pergola and decking work job runs
Every job follows the same sequence, and the sequence is what makes the finished work hold up. Pergolas, verandahs and decks built as structures: engineered footings, correctly sized posts and spans, flashings that keep water out of the house, and decking in hardwood or composite fixed to last.
01
Footings are dug and poured to the engineering
02
Posts stand plumb on stirrups and are braced to the line
03
Bearers and joists go in at the spacings the decking demands
04
Rafters and battens are fixed overhead
05
Roofing or shade is installed and flashed back to the house
06
Decking is laid with consistent gaps and clean fixings
Why AOI
One scope, written down
Pergolas and Decking at Eastwood is priced from a written scope that lists what is included before anything is cut, dug or poured. The same team that scopes the work builds it, so the plan that is approved is the plan that gets built.
Common in Eastwood
Where these jobs usually start
The same handful of problems turn up again and again on this kind of work. Each one changes the scope, and each is priced as its own line rather than buried in a rate.
01
An open space off the back of the house with all sun and no shelter
02
A deck that bounces because the joists were undersized
03
Water finding its way into the house at the wall junction
04
Footings that were never engineered for roof load
05
Decking boards that cup or lift because of fixing and gaps

Questions from Eastwood
Pergolas & Decking in Eastwood — FAQs
Do you cover Eastwood for pergola and decking work?
Eastwood 5063, roughly 2.45 km south-east of the CBD, is well within the 60 km radius and a routine visit. The scope comes from what is measured and seen, not from an assumed rate or a photo.
Can lighting and fans be included?
At Eastwood the lighting, fans and finishing trades are worked into the build rather than added once it is closed in, because the wiring has to be in place before the linings and roofing go on.
How is a pergola or deck priced?
Costing an Eastwood deck means adding the dimensions, the spans, the board, how the footings are built, a roof if included, and any services in the way such as downpipes or gas and power. It is settled after inspection of the structure and ground.
Does a pergola or deck need council approval in South Australia?
For an Eastwood block the deciding factors are the deck height, any roof tied to the dwelling, and the zoning overlay. A deck standing around half a metre or higher, or a roofed addition to the house, will normally require approval; a small open pergola on independent posts may not. That is confirmed at the quote and consent sought only if it is triggered.
