A carport is one of the most practical outdoor structures you can add to a property. Done well, it protects your vehicle from sun damage and hail, adds measurable curb appeal, and delivers genuine resale value at a fraction of the cost and approval complexity of a full garage.
Outside Concepts builds custom carports across Australia. Our franchise owner-operated model means a single experienced team manages your project from design through to handover. We offer a fixed price guarantee on every carport build — if something costs more than anticipated, we wear it. Finance options are available through Zip Pay for homeowners who’d prefer to spread the cost. Backed by 35 years of experience, HIA membership, and $20 million in public liability cover, we’re a builder you can rely on.
Carport Installation – What Our Service Covers
Carport installation done properly isn’t just assembly. It starts with a site assessment, moves through soil and footing specification, structural framing, skin and roofing installation, and finishes with a walk-through that covers drainage, attachment points, and what to expect over time.
Our carport installation walk-through involves site preparation and footing excavation, post and beam construction, roofing skin installation, all fixing and weatherproofing, connection to existing structures where applicable, and final inspection and handover.

Trusted Across Australia
Ron Matz of Outside Concepts and his team were prompt and professional. Overall a great bunch of guys who built a timber deck that we are delighted with. People who take great pride in their service and work. Highly recommended. Keep up the work boys.
Exceptional workmanship and communications. Very happy with the results of a new car port and fence.
We received a detailed and competitive quote from Kose and the team efficiently. We received detailed elevations after a relatively small deposit, and the process got underway quickly. Kose responded to emails very quickly. However, through no fault of Outside Concepts we didn’t end up going through with the building because our circumstances changed. Kose was extremely understanding of our situation.
It was a pleasure to deal with such a professional company. From first contacting Outside Concepts Geelong to the completion of the job everything has been flawless. Tanja and Jaan were fantastic to deal with. The installation was performed by very competent tradesmen. We are so happy with the final outcome. I can highly recommend Outside Concepts Geelong to anyone.
From quote to completion, the service that Jaan, Tanya and the team from Outside Concepts provided was nothing short of exceptional. Their professionalism, strong communication, and attention to detail meant the construction of our new carport was delivered on time and structurally sound. Jaan and Tanya assisted with obtaining permits, ensuring everything met industry standards, assisting with plans and liaising with BC for a smooth approval, and never compromised on aesthetics, integrity, or transparency. Do yourself a favour and keep Outside Concepts in mind for your next carport or pergola. Thanks again, Jaan and Tanya.
Jaan was a very pleasant person to deal with. He answered all of my concerns, completed the project and exceeded my expectations.
Fantastic job.
These guys did a superb job on our verandah. Easy to deal with and plan. Permits and final inspection went through without a hitch. The builders were easy to have around and worked solidly. A very good price.
From the very beginning Jaan and the team were amazing — from the initial quote to the completion, nothing but exceptional service. Jaan helped navigate the building permits and nothing was too much trouble. They kept us updated every step of the way. The workmanship and professionalism from both Brian and Leith was outstanding. We highly recommend Outside Concepts. Our verandah is amazing. 100% recommend Jaan and the team.
Outside Concepts did a great job building a verandah in an unusual shape at the side of our house. It was very professionally done in the best time frame. Very good quality work and the people we dealt with directly were amazing. I would go back to them again.
Brian and the team at Outside Concepts were excellent. They took on a job others were unwilling or unable to do and made it look easy. Great result — highly recommended.
Outside Concepts helped us with our overall outdoor outlay, including design and build of our new carport. Great service and highly recommended!
I have engaged Outside Concepts on 2 occasions and have been extremely satisfied and impressed with the quality of their work and attention to detail in advising and planning the project for me.
Very happy with the final product. Would recommend your company without hesitation.
We have been very impressed with the quality and service and have gladly recommended you to several of our friends.
Thanks again David. It’s been a pleasure having you build for us and helping overcome the various snags along the way. We are already noticing the carport on these cold mornings — the car is not iced up like the other car. I’m sure we’ll appreciate it for many years to come, come rain or come shine.

Frequently Asked
Questions
What sort of person makes a successful Franchisee?
First and foremost, a successful franchisee needs to be open-minded and willing to accept new ideas and new ways of doing things. He or she must have the skills to be able to operate their own business whilst being a part of a group. It is critical that the franchisee enjoys people and possesses good communication skills and native intelligence. It is a necessity of the job to be well-presented, well-spoken, consistent, with an eye for detail and the organisational skills and ability to project-manage a job from quote to completion.
What are the start-up costs?
The cost of a franchise, including training, is $57,500 +GST. You will need working capital of around $10,000 for advertising—it takes between 6 and 12 months for a franchisee to start achieving their potential in sales and income. Many of our new franchisees continue with their existing employment whilst building the business, or they take a part-time job to cover living expenses until the franchise provides suitable profits.
What is the term of the Franchise Agreement?
The Franchise Agreement is for 20 years (5 + 5 + 5 + 5).
What sort of workload is required?
Most of our franchisees settle into a reasonably regular income after about 12 months, with the business continuing to grow over the next five years or so. The more you advertise, the quicker the business will grow. The majority of our franchisees have indicated that they work between 35 and 45 hours per week, but we do have a few doing a lot less hours to earn a smaller income and some working longer hours to earn a substantially higher than average income.
How much money can I make from an Outside Concepts Franchise?
It all gets back to how the franchisee wants to work the business. Most of our franchisees working full time earn around $80 to $120k, with a few doing substantially better by putting in the extra time. Keep in mind, though, that the first six months of operation involves a lot of learning, and most new franchisees do not make large profits during this establishment time.
