Why ALTRA

You picture it.
We build it.

Most homeowners have a clear idea of the space they want, but no easy way to see it before they commit. We start every project with a visual mockup of your actual yard, then give you an itemised proposal, so you know exactly what you're getting and what it costs before a single shovel goes in.

Site visit

We come out, measure up, check levels and drainage, and talk through how you want to use the space.

02

Visual mockup

We show you your own yard with the new design applied, so you can see it before you commit.

Highly recommend these guys, they are truely FANTASTIC!! From start to finish they've been super friendly, professional and they genuinely care about doing a great job. It's been so refreshing to work with people who communicate well, turn up when they say they will, and go the extra mile without being asked.

We've been thrilled with the results of our last two projects and I'm not even bothering to get a quote from someone else for the backyard studio we're having built. ThANK YOU!! Wish I could leave 1000 stars!

FAQ

Good
questions.

Yes. We come out, measure up and talk through your ideas at no cost. You'll get an itemised proposal showing each stage, so you can see exactly where your money goes.

We take photos of your actual yard and apply the proposed design, so you can see the finished look (paving colour, deck boards, walls, lighting) before you commit. It's included with your proposal.

One team handles the whole build: excavation, concreting, paving, walls, decking and landscaping. For anything electrical, like gate motors or 240 V power for lighting, we bring in a licensed electrician and manage it for you.

Small jobs such as a path or retaining wall usually take a few days. Larger multi-stage projects can take a few weeks. Your proposal includes the stages, and we confirm your start date when you accept.

Typically a 20% deposit locks in your start date, a progress payment is due at a key stage such as the concrete pour, and the balance is due on completion. Exact terms are set out in your proposal.

Yes. Bundling stages together saves on machine hire, deliveries and set-up time, and we pass those savings on with a bundle discount.
