Patios Holmview
Insulated patios and carports for Holmview homes, sized to small lots and Logan’s rules.
Your patio in Holmview, start to finish
Holmview sits between Beenleigh and Eagleby and is mostly newer housing on compact lots. The typical job is an insulated patio that turns a bare slab into somewhere to eat outside, or a carport for the second car down the side or in front of the garage.
On a small lot, the patio has to fit around the site cover, the side boundaries and the sewer, which often runs right through the backyard. We check all three at the measure-up, then give you one price that includes the approval.
- One team from quote to handover, no salespeople
- Genuine Colorbond and BlueScope steel, all engineered

What's different about building in Holmview
Small lot site cover
Logan allows 60% site cover in its small lot precinct and 50% on a standard suburban lot. The house and garage take most of it, so we work out what is left before we design the patio.
Sewer in the backyard
Logan Water assesses building near its sewer against the Queensland Development Code: footings about 1.2 m from small mains and 1.5 m from the centre of a manhole. If a post must go closer, a build-over application goes to council; Logan’s 2026-27 fee for it is $617.
Front carports
Logan lets an open carport up to 6 × 6 m and 3.5 m high sit right on the front boundary without a referral, as long as it stays open except where it attaches at the back.
Which patio suits your home?
Attached
Fixed to the fascia or a wall of your home. The most common and the best value.
See attached patios →
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 patios →
Gable & hip
A pitched roof that matches your house. Attached, flyover or freestanding.

Louvred
Opening blades: sun when you want it, shelter when you need it.

Tap one to see what you get.
Single skin
- The lowest-cost option
- Spans up to about 5 m between beams
- Can be built as close as 450 mm to a boundary (with approval)
- Hotter and louder in rain than insulated
- No downlights or fans in the roof
Best for: Carports, flyovers with good air flow, and budget builds.
From underneath you see the ribbed roof sheets and the steel purlins that hold them. Lights and fans fix to the beams.

Insulated panel
- Keeps the heat out — noticeably cooler underneath
- Quiet in rain
- Finished white (or coloured) ceiling, no visible purlins
- Downlights and ceiling fans built in
- Longer spans, fewer beams
Best for: Patios and outdoor rooms you will sit under and use all year.
From underneath you see a flat, finished ceiling, usually Surfmist, with downlights and a fan set straight into it. Thicker panels span further and insulate better.

Council rules for a patio in Holmview
Holmview is in the Logan City Council area, under the Logan Planning Scheme 2015 (version 9.2).
- Site cover depends on the precinct
- Logan sets the maximum roofed area by precinct, not just lot size: 60% in small lot areas, 50% in the standard suburban precinct, 40% large suburban, 35% small acreage and 20% (or 700 m²) on acreage. A patio counts, so on a tight lot we check this first.

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.
Patios Holmview: common questions
Can I put a carport down the side of my Holmview home?
Often, yes, if the side is wide enough. Carports can sit closer to a side boundary under the boundary rules, within limits on height and length. We measure the side and check the rules for your lot.
What is the best roof for a Holmview patio?
For a patio you will sit under, insulated: cooler in summer, quiet in rain and ready for downlights and a fan. Single skin suits a carport or a well shaded side area.
Do you build in Beenleigh and Eagleby too?
Yes. We build across Holmview, Beenleigh, Eagleby and the rest of Logan.
