Decks built for how you live outside

Field Carpentry builds decks across the Gold Coast: new timber and composite decks, pool decks and patios, and repairs to the deck you already have. Brett Field is QBCC licensed and has more than 25 years on the tools.

On the Gold Coast, the deck is often the room you use most. As a carpenter on the Gold Coast, Brett builds the stairs, railings and built-ins that go with it too.

What we build outside

  • New timber and composite decks
  • Pool decks
  • Patios and covered outdoor areas
  • Deck stairs and landings
  • Railings and balustrades, timber or stainless wire
  • Deck repairs and restoration
  • Daybeds, cabanas and built-in seating

How much does a deck cost on the Gold Coast?

Decks are priced per square metre. These are typical Gold Coast supply and install rates from a published 2026 cost guide, not Brett's own price list. Brett's free quote is the real number for your deck.

MaterialPer m²A 25 m² deck
Treated pine$175 to $345$4,375 to $8,625
Merbau hardwood$295 to $540$7,375 to $13,500
Spotted gum hardwood$345 to $590$8,625 to $14,750
Composite$275 to $540$6,875 to $13,500

A guide from published 2026 Gold Coast cost guides, not a quote. Brett's quote is the real number.

A deck raised more than a metre off the ground adds about $49 to $175 per square metre, for the taller frame, footings and railings. Stairs, a roof and taking out an old deck add to the price too.

Timber or composite decking?

Hardwood looks and feels natural, but it needs oiling to keep looking good. Composite costs about the same as hardwood to build, and needs much less upkeep. Treated pine costs the least.

On the Gold Coast, salt air matters too. Timber industry guidance says decks within 1 km of the coast, or close to a pool, need stainless steel fixings. Brett talks you through the options for your home and budget.

Pool decks and patios

Brett builds timber and composite pool decks, and covered patios that turn a deck into an outdoor room. Around a pool, the boards have to cope with water, sun and bare feet, so the material matters even more.

He also builds the daybeds, cabanas and built-in seats that finish a pool area off.

Can you restore my old deck?

Yes. Brett replaces boards, fixes the frame, rebuilds stairs and railings, and brings tired decks back to life. Restoring a deck often costs far less than building a new one, so it is worth asking about first.

Do I need approval for a deck?

Often, yes. The City of Gold Coast says a deck needs building approval unless it is smaller than 10 square metres and less than 1 metre high. A roofed deck needs approval too.

Brett checks what your deck needs and handles the approval for you.

Brett from Field Carpentry completed a renovation for us at our home in Ashmore on the Gold Coast. The project included two bathrooms, some large doors and windows, some brick work repairs, flooring modifications and some other bits. He was fantastic to work with and the quality of work was top notch. He was always very polite and considerate of us while living in the house through the Renos, always working with us to schedule things when it would suit our family movements. Brett is a very good communicator and a great builder. We will definitely use Field Carpentry again and would recommend them to other Gold Coasters.

Brett did a bang-up job repairing and restoring our wooden deck including building a set of fully-enclosed 2 metre wide steps from scratch. He listened to what we wanted to achieve and gave us a range of options to suit different budgets. A pleasure to deal with from go to whoa, we can't fault his work ethic, craftsmanship, communication or punctuality. Would we use him again? We're already writing our "2024 List for Brett"

Brett has done several renovation jobs for us over the last 15 years - timber and stainless steel back deck and railings, timber stairwell railings, refit and installation of cupboard units in laundry and bedrooms, and timber self-close fence side gate. A skilful tradie whose work I highly recommend - quality work, great follow-through, and just a great guy to have come into our home to do the necessary work.

Brett has carried out a range of medium to large jobs for us, including a new deck, a daybed, and he was a key part of the team that extended our house (a large reno project). His ability to bring a bespoke idea to life is incredible, as is his attention to detail. Just a great guy to work with, would recommend him to anyone.

I have hired Brett's expert carpentry services on a couple of occasions and both jobs were carried out in a professional manner. Brett is a perfectionist and takes pride in his workmanship and what he delivers. He carried out a semi kitchen reno job most recently which by no means was straightforward however he tackled it head on and a great result was achieved.
