Custom Verandah Design, Installation and Construction – Australia-Wide

A verandah is one of the most enduring features of Australian residential architecture. It extends your living space, protects windows and walls from weather, improves energy performance, and adds immediate street appeal.

At Outside Concepts, our verandah builders design and construct custom verandahs to professional structural standards – fully managed, end-to-end, with no trade coordination required from you. With more than 18,000 projects completed across Australia, Outside Concepts is one of the country’s most experienced outdoor living builders. Every verandah installation is covered by $20 million public liability insurance and a 10-year structural guarantee — and our fixed price contract means no unexpected costs after the job begins.

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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a new verandah installed. It was a replacement for an existing verandah that needed to be demolished. Because of the limitations imposed by our spouting a novel way of attaching it to the house was required. Of all the companies we had quotes from, Kose's was the only one that came up with a goosneck arrangement which provided a verandah that met all our requirements for looks and functionality. The workmanship is excellent and we are very happy with the result.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had a Large Colour Bond Patio ordered with OUTSIDE CONCEPTS PTY LTD in Melbourne.....The Quality and Workmanship were Outstanding, with the Best Quality materials used, not forgetting the TOP Tradesmen used, to do  the job. We are Very satisfied with this Project, and will highly recommend them to anybody wanting a Good job done, at a reasonable price. The Manager  Kose, who handled the job from start to finish, was extremely Professional, Very knowledgeable, and Patient, especially  while dealing with the Local City Councils for Permits etc We wish them all the very Best in the future. Update 17 May 2026 : I recently had an issue with the extension Patio, so I contacted Kose, from OUTSIDE CONCEPTS, for assistance. Kose contacted me promptly, with all the advice I required, and a solution to the problem.! Thank you Kose for all your help you gave me, .....This proves that your 'After Sales Service " is Rock Solid , and the Best I have received so far. wishing you all the Best for the future.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. While we unfortunately were not able to have a carport built by Custom Carports and Pergolas due to council regulations, the team here did so much fantastic work for us that I wanted to write a review. Everyone I spoke to here was courteous, friendly, and helpful. They understood what we wanted, knew the right questions to ask our city council to figure out what we could and could not do, and they communicated the result to us sensitively. I would be delighted to engage with this company again in the future if I had the opportunity. Thank you very much!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cannot speak highly enough of Kose and the team! From initial contact through to completion my experience was fantastic. Kose was always in hand for any queries I had and would keep us thoroughly updated at every stage. Our backyard is now a lot more homely with the finished product delivered with care and skill. To anyone looking for a pergola look no further!

Verandah Styles and Roof Profiles

Our verandah builders can create the full range of verandah styles, each with structural and aesthetic differences worth understanding:

Bullnose – A curved front profile and Australian residential classic. Natural fit for period, Federation, and heritage homes.
Gable – Pitched ridge profile that creates volume and excellent airflow. Works with both traditional and contemporary properties.
Flat / Skillion – Clean, minimal roofline ideal for modern homes and extensions.
Skillion – A single-pitch variation with efficient water runoff and contemporary character.
Curved – An architectural option that softens the roofline and adds visual interest.

Material Choices for Australian Conditions

Colorbond Steel is the most widely specified material across Australia – UV-resistant, low maintenance, and available in a full Colorbond colour range.
Timber suits period and character homes where heritage compliance requires natural materials and matching of existing architecture.
Aluminium is preferred for coastal and tropical climates where salt and humidity accelerate corrosion in lesser materials.

Attached vs Freestanding – What’s Right for Your Property?

Most verandah installations are attached to the home. This is a practical for an outdoor room that functions as a genuine extension of your living space. Attached verandahs share a roofline with your home and require careful flashing and junction waterproofing; something our outdoor verandah builders specifically address.

Freestanding verandahs suit properties where attachment isn’t possible or where a separate outdoor room is preferred. Both configurations are available across our range, done by our custom verandah builders.

Verandah vs Pergola – One Clear Answer

A verandah is a fully roofed, typically attached outdoor structure providing year-round weather protection. A pergola is open or semi-covered, which tends to be better for shade and definition of outdoor space than full weatherproofing.

If you’re deciding between the two, we’ll walk you through both options, including our verandahs in Adelaide and nationally, to find the right fit for your property.

Frequently Asked
Questions

Do I need permission to enclose a verandah?

Yes, in most jurisdictions. Enclosing an existing verandah changes the building's weatherproofed envelope and typically requires development approval. Our verandah builders manage the approval process as part of the job.

How much does a verandah cost?

Costs depend on style, span, material, and whether the structure is attached or freestanding. Our verandah price estimator gives a starting-point range; a fixed quote follows consultation.

What's the best constructed verandah material for hot or coastal climates?

Colorbond is the go-to for hot inland climates – UV-reflective and low maintenance. Aluminium is preferred for coastal zones where salt air is a factor. We'll specify the right option for your location at the consultation.

How long does verandah construction take?

Most verandah installations are completed in two to three days on-site. The design and approval timeline is longer, we'll provide a full project schedule at consultation.
