Queenslanders on stumps

Brisbane’s housing stock includes a large number of elevated timber homes on stumps. Raising, building under and re-stumping are core work here rather than occasional jobs, and the same house type is what makes relocation viable across the city.

Reactive soils

Much of Brisbane sits on clay that shrinks and swells with moisture. Site classification under AS 2870 is what turns that into a footing design, and it is the single input most likely to change the cost of a slab.

Flood-conscious design

Brisbane City Council maintains flood overlays across much of the city, and raising an existing home above a flood level is one of the more common reasons clients come to us. Elevating the home lifts critical infrastructure well above potential flood zones.

Building over council services

Established suburbs mean established infrastructure. Build over or near council services is a routine constraint on Brisbane blocks and one worth resolving at design stage.
