There are a few different variables that will affect the total investment of having a new deck built:
- Proposed size of decking area
- Type of decks used (timber/softwood/hardwood/ composite)
- Any extras like stairs, pergolas, verandahs, balustrade, glass panels
- Foundations underneath the area
- Any council permission required
- If the area is elevated then this can create difficulties in the build and cause an increase in overall cost
Most customers will spend around
- $200 per m2 for treated pine
- $350+ per m2 for composite
- $320+ per m2 for hardwood timber
- $800+ per m2 for deck with roofing and/or stairs
- $1000+ for elevated cyclone rated decking
