Frequently asked questions
Do I need Council Approval to build a fence?
No, as long as the fence or wall is no higher than 2m. If the fence or wall needs to be higher than 2m then a Building Certifier and Engineer will need to be engaged. You will need to submit the plans for Council Approval, which can take up to 8-12 weeks or more in some cases based on the Council. We can assist and manage this process, if you wish.
Do I need Council Approval to build a retaining wall?

What is the lead time to start my job once I approve the quote and pay the deposit?
Generally, 7-10 days from receiving the deposit. This can vary slightly, depending on our workload, but our current lead time to begin your job is always listed on your quote.
How long does it take to build a fence or wall?
Every job is different. However, as a guide a standard masonry fence approximately 15m long would take about 7-10 site/working days. Always, pending weather and any unforeseen delays.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept direct bank transfer with the quote/invoice number as the reference. Our bank details are on every quote/invoice. We do not accept credit cards due to the surcharge fees banks and institutions charge.
Do I need QBCC Insurance for my job?
You can request for QBCC Insurance to be taken out on your job, if you wish. This cost will be in addition to the quoted amount. In general terms, fences and walls as well as general masonry work do not require QBCC Insurance. Whereas for major extensions, new homes and other major construction works, QBCC Insurance is mandatory.
Is the Company Licensed and Insured?
