Decks built for Sydney's coast

Hardwood and composite decks, designed, supplied and built by one contractor across the Eastern Suburbs and the Sutherland Shire.

Why Shaw Build

Design, supply and build under one contractor

Most decks get split between a designer, a timber yard and a crew who have never met. Shaw Build handles all three. The person who measures your site chooses the material, orders it and lays every board, so nothing gets lost between trades and one person is accountable from quote to handover.

  • One quoteDesign, materials and labour priced together, in writing.
  • One scheduleNo waiting on another trade to turn up.
  • One contactYou deal with Matthew from the first visit to sign-off.
