Building in Modbury Heights
Modbury Heights earns its name — the suburb rolls across elevated ground with long views back toward the city, and its blocks carry the gentle-but-real slopes that come with that. The 1970s development wave terraced many yards with materials that are now half a century old, and replacing those tired walls and steps is the suburb's bread-and-butter outdoor work. Clay dominates, with pockets of construction-era fill that behave unpredictably under load. Owners here are practical renovators: durable surfaces, usable lawn areas and shade structures for the north-east's hot summer afternoons top most briefs.
Outdoor rooms in Modbury Heights are designed against its real conditions — elevated rolling ground with long views south-west across the plains, and summer sun that makes western shading the first sketch on the page. Footings are engineered for north-eastern clays with lenses of gravel fill from the suburb's 1970s development, and structures are flashed and detailed to protect the home they attach to.
The suburb's 1970s–80s brick family homes on elevated blocks, many mid-renovation shape what we build: proportions, rooflines and materials are chosen to sit naturally with the architecture, and where a roofed or attached structure needs development approval, we prepare and lodge the application with City of Tea Tree Gully as part of the contract.
