About Peak Decking Point Cook: The Story

Peak Decking was set up to do one thing well: design and build decks for homes across Point Cook and the City of Wyndham, from Williams Landing and Tarneit to Werribee, Hoppers Crossing and the bayside suburbs of Altona Meadows and Seabrook. Decks are the whole focus. The work ranges from first decks level with the alfresco on new estate homes, to pool decks, raised decks off upstairs rooms and full replacements of tired decks on older houses. Wyndham's conditions shape every job: reactive basalt clay, strong summer sun and steady afternoon wind, so each deck is built on stumps sized to a soil test and finished to stand up to the sun.

Peak Decking Point Cook - How Each Job Is Run

Each job runs the same way. It starts with a free measure, where the slab and door sill heights, the fall of the yard, the distance to the boundaries, access for materials and the path for stormwater are recorded and the options are talked through. A written, itemised quote follows, so every part of the price can be seen. Once accepted, drawings, engineering and a soil test are prepared, overlays and the 800 mm rule are checked, and the building permit is lodged. The deck is then built, inspected at the stages the building surveyor requires and handed over with the site cleaned up.

Peak Decking Point Cook - Who Builds Each Job

The same team that measures the yard draws the deck and builds it, so the levels, board layout and fixings agreed on site are the ones built on the day. Footings are sized to a soil test under AS 2870, stumps are galvanised steel, boards are fixed with stainless steel screws or hidden clips, and every board is laid with the gap its species or brand calls for. Older decks are inspected underneath before any repair is quoted, so the frame and stumps are checked, not just the boards.

Peak Decking Point Cook Standards, Engineering and Permits

Every deck that needs one is built under a building permit issued by a registered building surveyor. Each permitted deck has structural engineering for its footings, bearers, joists and any balustrade or roof posts, based on the soil test's site class, the span and the wind loads that apply on the open western plains. Most decks in Victoria need a building permit, and a deck more than 800 mm above ground can also need a planning permit on a lot under 300 square metres. Balustrades and stairs are built to the National Construction Code, decks beside pools are designed to keep the barrier compliant, and bushfire requirements are checked where a property is in a designated bushfire-prone area. Boards are merbau, spotted gum, blackbutt, treated pine or composite, chosen for the site.
