SHEDS, PATIOS, CARPORTS & DECKS

Sheds, Patios, Carports & Decks — Fast, Straightforward Approvals

When it comes to adding usable space to your property, these projects are some of the most common — and most commonly misunderstood when it comes to approvals. At Rocket Building Approvals, we provide comprehensive building certification services on the Gold Coast, Bundaberg and South East Queensland for all classes of residential structures, including sheds, patios, carports, and decks.

We assess your plans for compliance with the Building Code of Australia (NCC), Queensland Development Code, and local council planning requirements. Whether your project is from a volume manufacturer (like Stratco, Fair Dinkum, or Ausdeck) or a custom builder, we make sure it’s approved quickly and correctly before construction starts.

What’s Covered

We provide certification for:

  • Sheds & Garages – single or double bay, rural, industrial, or custom-built
  • Carports – attached or freestanding, designed for protection and compliance
  • Patios & Pergolas – roofed or open structures, engineered for strength and weather performance
  • Decks – elevated, enclosed, or open designs, assessed for safety, structure, and drainage

The Rocket Process

  1. Plan Review – We check your drawings and engineering against the NCC and QDC standards
  2. Building Approval – Fast turnaround (usually within 3–5 business days once docs are complete)
  3. Inspections – We schedule mandatory inspections at footing and final stages
  4. Certification – On completion, we issue a Form 21 Final Inspection Certificate confirming compliance

We work directly with your builder, designer, or engineer to avoid the back-and-forth delays that kill momentum. Our goal is to keep your project moving without red tape headaches.
