External Carpentry in Northern Rivers
Well-built outdoor spaces can completely change how you use your home. At Hearth Built, we deliver high-quality external carpentry across the Northern Rivers, Tweed Coast and Southern Gold Coast, including custom decks, pergolas, patios, carports, hardwood fencing and gates.
Every project is approached with the same care we bring to our larger builds, with considered design, quality materials and workmanship made to stand up to the Australian climate.
Built to enhance your home
External carpentry should feel like a natural extension of your home, not an afterthought. Whether you’re creating a new entertaining area, adding shade and shelter, improving privacy or upgrading the way you access your property, we’ll help you create a solution that suits your home, site and lifestyle.
We focus on thoughtful proportions, durable materials and quality finishes so the end result looks considered and performs well for years to come.
WHAT WE BUILD
Decks & Pergolas
Create an outdoor space that gives you more room to relax, entertain and enjoy your home. We build custom decks and pergolas designed around your property, lifestyle and the surrounding environment.
Patios & Carports
From covered entertaining areas to practical carports, we create structures that provide protection from the elements while complementing the existing design of your home.
Hardwood Fencing & Gates
Well-built fencing and gates can add privacy, security and street appeal. We create custom hardwood solutions with a focus on strength, longevity and a clean, considered finish.
Quality that goes beyond the finish
The difference in good external carpentry is often in the details you don’t immediately see. From footings and structural connections to material selection, drainage and weather exposure, we consider how every element will perform over time.
Our goal is to create outdoor structures that not only look good on completion, but continue to feel solid, functional and well resolved for years to come.
Our process
We keep things simple, structured, and transparent so you always know what to expect, and when.
Pre-construction
This is where your project takes shape. We work closely with you to finalise the design, confirm costs, outline timeframes, and manage all the required approvals. We understand how hard you’ve worked for your investment, and we’re committed to making every dollar count. From the outset, we’ll help ensure your design aligns with your budget and your goals.
Construction
Once we break ground, our trusted team of in-house carpenters brings your home to life with care and precision. We use project management software to keep everyone in the loop, and you’ll have access to your own online portal so you can track progress, view updates, and stay informed at every stage.
Post-construction
We don’t just hand over the keys and walk away. As we reach completion, we’ll ensure every detail is wrapped up properly - from final electricals to a thorough clean of the site. If you need help coordinating your move, we’re happy to assist. Our job’s not done until you’re completely satisfied.
OUR PROCESS
We keep the process straightforward and transparent, so you know what’s happening from the first conversation through to completion.
01
Planning & Site Review
We start by understanding what you want to achieve and reviewing the existing site. We’ll discuss your ideas, materials, budget and any practical considerations before confirming the best way forward.
02
Preparation & Construction
Once the scope is confirmed, we coordinate materials, site preparation and construction. Our team works carefully and efficiently, with a strong focus on workmanship, safety and keeping the site organised throughout the project.
