Carports Cottesloe

Frequently asked questions

• Our Cottesloe driveway falls away from the street. Is that a problem?
  No, but it has to be measured rather than assumed. The streets here fall toward the water, so the post heights on a Cottesloe build are rarely all the same. We measure the fall across the full footprint at the site visit and set the frame to it, so the roof stays level while the ground does not.
• How long does a Cottesloe carport build take?
  Time from contract signing to handover depends on council processing time for your specific build, plus material lead times. The on-site build itself is typically 2 to 4 days. We'll give you a realistic end-to-end timeline at quote stage based on the actual specifics of your project.
• What's the most common carport you build in Cottesloe?
  Gable Roof Carports are common across Cottesloe because of the housing footprint and the typical block size. Other carport types are available depending on your block and home style.
• Do I need a Building Permit or something more?
  Carports in WA need a Building Permit lodged under the Building Act 2011. Town of Cottesloe, like every WA local council, processes these applications. The application can be lodged as Certified (BA1, with private certifier sign-off) or Uncertified (BA2). We handle the full submission either way and confirm the pathway that suits your build at quote stage.
• Do you cover all of Cottesloe, and what if I'm just outside it?
  We cover Cottesloe 6011 in full plus the surrounding suburbs, with no travel surcharge and no minimum job size. Just outside it the pricing and process are identical. Further out again we build the travel into the quote so there is no surprise on the invoice.
