Have a burning question about patios or verandahs, and whether one will suit for your home and lifestyle?
Don’t worry, we’ve lined up expert answers to the most common concerns.
When it comes to patios and verandahs, council permits and regulations dominate customer queries. Taking shortcuts with this stage of your build only spells costly and distressing results when fulfilments aren’t met. We asked Fielders Centenary dealer Michelle Staudt, Project Manager at For Life Patios, for some insider knowledge.
1. “Are permits included?”
Absolutely! A key advantage of working with a Fielders Centenary dealer on your patio or verandah build is their management of all required permits and licenses to guarantee regulations are met. “Don’t let builders tell you that you don’t need a permit!” Michelle says. “Remember, your builder must also be licensed without fail.”
“We provide all permits and can apply for any special conditions on your property and dispensations to councils,” Michelle says. “The Fielders Centenary range fully complies with building regulations to obtain permits, and receive an Engineering Certificate.”
2. “How can I accessorise my patio or verandah?”
There are many ways to customise your build, but core to any decision is thinking about it early. “Think ahead,” Michelle advises. “If you want to add blinds down the track, then we need to consider the location of your posts because these can’t be moved when construction is complete.”
The ability to customise your Fielders Centenary patio or verandah purely depends on your needs and personal style. Popular choices include add-on Fielders Dominator Slat Screening to keep the weather out, or downlight flashing to a gable allowing for downlights and fans to be installed in future.
