The best room in the house
isn't inside.
Custom decks that don't warp, grey or pull away from the house.
Intro
Considered, custom, built to last.
A cheap deck warps, greys and pulls away from the house within a couple of summers. Built right, it becomes the room you actually use — for a decade or more. Correct substructure, correct fixings, the right timber or composite for the aspect.
Pricing guidance
From $18,000
Custom decks typically sit between $18k and $85k depending on size, timber and detail.
Most custom decks are built in 2–5 weeks depending on size and detail.
Benefits
What you get from CIB.
Substructure done properly
Correct joist spacing, ventilation, ground clearance and drainage. The deck lasts because of what's underneath.
Hardwood or composite
We'll help you weigh spotted gum, blackbutt, merbau or premium composite against your aspect and appetite for maintenance.
Detail at the edges
Concealed fixings, tight breezeway joins, mitred corners, considered stair risers.
Common problems
What we see when others cut corners.
- Cupping and greying within two summers
- Boards that pull away from the house
- Substructure rotting from poor ventilation

Clients on the work.
"Chris was the only builder who told us what our reno was actually going to cost — and then held to the number. Every trade he brought through was excellent. The finish is beyond what we thought was possible in our old cottage."

"We were burned by a builder on our last renovation. CIB was the opposite experience — communication every week, decisions logged, and a finish that looks like a five-star hotel. Worth every dollar."
