Your carport in Brisbane, start to finish

Not every carport is a flat 6 x 6. Custom jobs are where we earn our keep: carports with gable or hip roofs that match the house, extra-high clearance for vans, long spans with no middle posts, or a carport that runs into a patio.

Every custom carport is engineered for your site and drawn for approval. Brisbane overlays are checked first.

Local knowledge

What's different about building in Brisbane

Match the house
A gable or Dutch gable roof in your house colour makes the carport look like it was always there.
High clearance
Caravans, boats and lifted 4WDs need height. We engineer taller posts and bigger footings.
Long spans
Need three cars and no middle post? We size the beams for it.

Step 1 · pick a style

Which carport suits your home?

Attached

Fixed to the fascia or a wall of your home. The most common and the best value.

See attached carports →

Flyover

Raised above your gutter for extra height, air flow and a modern look.

Freestanding

Stands on its own posts, anywhere on your block.

See freestanding carports →

Gable & hip

A pitched roof that matches your house. Attached, flyover or freestanding.

Step 2 · pick a size

How big should your carport be?

Measure your cars with the doors open, then add room for bins, bikes or a boat.

3 × 6 m

Single carport

One car, with room to open the doors on one side.

6 × 6 m

Double carport

Two cars side by side — the most common carport.

6 × 9 m

Long double

Two cars plus a trailer, or a car and a boat.

4 × 10 m

Caravan cover

Built tall — usually 3.5 to 4.2 m clear for a caravan or motorhome.

Local rules

Council rules for a carport in Brisbane

Brisbane is in the Brisbane City Council area, under the Brisbane City Plan 2014 (version 37.00/2026).

Character areas: Homes built before 1947 in the traditional building character overlay have extra rules: structures forward of the house are restricted and work is assessed against the character provisions. A patio at the back is usually fine; a carport in front of a character home usually needs approval.
Carport and garage width: On a lot under 450 m², a garage door and carport together are capped at 6 m wide facing the street.
Steep blocks: On a small lot (180 to 450 m²) where the ground falls 1 in 4 or steeper from the street, a double carport up to 6 m wide may sit closer to the road than the house. Handy on the hilly small lots in Holland Park and Carina Heights.

How it works

From quote to handover

On-site quote & design
We come out, measure up and design it with you — colours, post and beam spacing, all within the engineering.
Plans & council approval
We draw, engineer and lodge everything: site plan, engineering, Form 15 and the building approval.
Materials ordered
Once approved, the materials are ordered from Australian suppliers. This takes about 2–4 weeks.
The build
Materials never sit at your place longer than 14 working days. Weather can delay us; we keep you posted.
