Decking

Decking with Apollo — Process and What’s Included

We design and build custom decks that extend your living space, add value to your property, and stand up to New Zealand’s climate. Whether it’s a small courtyard upgrade or a full outdoor entertaining area, our process ensures your deck is functional, compliant, and built to last.

Design & Planning (What We Include)

• Site measure and layout planning — assess slope, drainage, access, and sun exposure to optimise placement.

• Material selection and finish options — help you choose between hardwood, composite, pine, or eco decking based on budget, durability, and style.

• Council compliance and consent guidance — advise on height restrictions, boundary rules, and whether a building consent is required.

• Costed design options and allowances — transparent pricing with contingency planning for groundworks, fixings, and coatings.

Build Coordination & Installation (What We Include)

• Full project management — one point of contact who coordinates trades, deliveries, and site access.

• Ground prep and framing — excavation, levelling, post installation, and subframe construction to NZBC standards.

• Decking installation — precision laying of boards with correct spacing, fixings, and edge detailing.

• Stairs, balustrades, and privacy screens — optional features designed and installed to suit your layout and compliance needs.

• Finishing and protection — oiling, staining, or sealing for long-term durability and aesthetic appeal.

Handover & Aftercare (What We Include)

• Final walkthrough and inspection — confirm finish quality, safety, and client satisfaction.

• Care and maintenance guidance — provide cleaning tips, recoating schedules, and product warranties.

• Defects support — clear warranty process and prompt response to any post‑handover items.

Typical Timeline and Budget Expectations

• Most decking projects are completed in 1–3 weeks, depending on size, site access, and consent requirements.

• Budgets vary by material and complexity — pine decks may start around $350/m², while hardwood and composite systems can exceed $600/m². Auckland pricing reflects local labour rates and material availability.
