FAQ's
Do I need council approval for decking, pergolas, or extensions?
Many small decks/pergolas are “exempt development” if they meet height/size rules in the NSW Codes S.E.P.P.
Anything structural, high, or close to boundaries may need a CDC or DA through council.
We at scg will advise you on what needs approval. contact us now and talk to one of our experts!
Do you provide materials or should I supply my own?
WE At scg can supply quality timber, fixings, and hardware through trade accounts (cheaper & better quality than Bunnings retail).
Customers can also supply their own materials, but We will not won’t warranty them.
Do you guarantee your work?
licensed carpenters in NSW must provide a written warranty. For residential work over $20,000, Home Building Compensation cover (formerly Home Warranty Insurance) may also apply through the builder. Smaller jobs usually come with a workmanship warranty.
How do I maintain a new deck or pergola in Sydney weather?
Oil/seal softwood every 6–12 months.
Hardwoods (merbau, spotted gum) last longer but still need sealing.
in Sydney’s climate, UV and rain are the biggest issues. maintenance is key.

How do you quote—fixed or cost-plus?
Smaller, well-defined carpentry is often fixed-price; complex or design-evolving jobs may be cost-plus with agreed margins and transparent timesheets. NSW Fair Trading model contracts cover both.
