Attadale is an established riverside suburb, so a new patio usually has to tie in neatly with an existing roofline and the look of the home.
My Patio designs, documents and builds patios in Attadale and nearby suburbs including Alfred Cove, Applecross and Bicton, and looks after the paperwork from the first sketch to the final inspection.
We build skillion patios, gable patios, flat roof patios, pergolas, gazebos and carports. Call 0420 361 450 for a free quote.
In Western Australia, most patios, pergolas, carports and similar structures need a building permit before work starts. In Attadale, applications go to the City of Melville. Your design also has to meet the planning rules for your lot, such as boundary setbacks and open space, and some structures need extra approvals, so it pays to check early.
My Patio designs and builds your new gable patio, skillion patio, flat roof patio, carport, pergola or gazebo, and prepares the drawings and documents for your City of Melville building application.
Building permit: not needed for a freestanding patio or carport of 10 m² or less and 2.4 m or less in height (outside wind regions C and D). A pergola with a Class 1 building needs none if it is 2.4 m or less high and covers 20 m² or less. Pergolas with an impervious roof, such as Colorbond or polycarbonate, are treated as patios. Structures attached to the house may need a permit.
Planning approval: needed if the proposal does not comply with the Residential Design Codes or the City’s local planning policies.
Engineering: a structural engineer must check and certify the design. Owner-builders need an Owner-Builder Certificate for work worth $20,000 or more.
