Carports Murray

Frequently asked questions

• We keep a boat at home on the river. How do you size the carport for it?
  Off the boat, not off a catalogue. Through the Yunderup and Ravenswood estates most people keep the boat on the trailer at home, so we take the beam at its widest point and the height with the canopy up, then build the span and clearance to that with room to walk around it.
• How long does a Murray 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 Murray?
  Boat Carports are common across Murray 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. Shire of Murray, 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 Murray, and what if I'm just outside it?
  We cover Murray 6208 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.
