Decks and Roof Decks
Although decks or roofed decks may seem like a minor construction, they are considered a significant structure that requires careful planning and certifications by the QBCC and local council authorities to ensure they are safe and structurally sound.

Decks and Roof Decks certification Brisbane
If you are a property owner or building professional who plans to build a deck or roofed deck, then you will need to submit your plans to local building authorities for approval.
These assessments, applications, reports, and certificates ensure they are safe for use by occupants and visitors and are no threat to adjacent properties.
Examples of parts of your decking that will be assessed for certification include:
- Groundwork
- Foundations
- Fixings
- Posts
- Bracing
- Bearers and joists
- Ledgers or pole plates
- Decking boards
- Roofing structure and materials
- The existing structure if attached
Queensland has the potential for extreme weather events, and the structure must also meet compliances for this possibility. All structures that could be considered a deck, roofed deck, balcony or verandah must meet the specifications outlined in the QueenslandBuildingAct 1975.
These laws, compliances and protocols can be daunting for even a seasoned building trade veteran, and it may be helpful to get a consultant to help navigate this complex system.
The highly-qualified and experienced consultants here at the Building Certification Group, Brisbane, can assist you in all aspects of this process, including facilitating all applications and reports that may be required for a smooth construction on your behalf.
