As a Stratco Outback® Authorised Dealer for over 30 years, we offer a range of custom outdoor living solutions, from traditional roofed verandahs through to opening louvred sunroofs and pergola-style designs.
Each project is tailored to suit the architecture of your home, the available space, your preferred colours and, most importantly, how you want to use your outdoor area.

Luxford Building combines decades of outdoor-building experience with the strength and design flexibility of the Stratco Outback® range. We take the time to understand how you want to use the space before recommending a design, roof style and finish.
Our team can manage the entire project, including the design, relevant permit applications and professional installation. You receive clear advice, a detailed quotation and one experienced team responsible for the job from beginning to end.

Why build a Patio for your Melbourne Home
A thoughtfully designed patio gives you more opportunities to enjoy your home, entertain outside and make better use of an otherwise exposed outdoor area.
Outdoor Entertaining
Create a dedicated space for barbecues, family meals, celebrations and casual gatherings without being completely dependent on the weather.
More Usable Living Space
A patio can extend the practical living area beyond your kitchen or family room, creating a natural connection between the home and garden.
Protection from Melbourne Weather
Enjoy shelter from summer sun and unexpected rain while retaining the open-air feeling that makes outdoor living appealing
A More Comfortable Outdoor Area
The right roof orientation and material can improve shade, airflow and comfort. An insulated roof can provide additional protection from heat and rain noise.
Designed to Complement Your Home
Choose the roof style, framework, colours and finishes that best suit the architecture and existing colour palette of your property.
Durable and Low Maintenance
Quality steel and aluminium components provide long-term durability without the frequent repainting and maintenance associated with some traditional outdoor structures.

Melbourne Patio FAQ’s
The terms are often used interchangeably. Many Melbourne homeowners use “patio” to describe a covered outdoor entertaining area, while the same structure may technically be described as a verandah. Luxford Building designs and installs these outdoor roof systems regardless of the terminology you use.
Luxford Building offers a range of outdoor living solutions including roofed verandahs, louvred sunroofs and pergolas. Verandahs can be designed with Flat, Gable or Cooldek® insulated roofing, while louvred and pergola designs provide alternatives for homeowners wanting greater flexibility or a more open outdoor feel.
Yes. Depending on the property and selected roof system, a patio can be attached to the home or designed as a freestanding structure elsewhere in the outdoor area.
Cooldek is the most appropriate of the three options when insulation is a priority. Its polystyrene core helps reduce heat transfer through the roof and also reduces noise from heavy rain.
Permit requirements depend on the design, size, attachment method and individual property. Luxford Building can determine what approvals are required and manage the relevant application process as part of the project.
The cost will depend on the patio size, roof style, site access, structural requirements, finishes and permit costs. Luxford provides a free onsite measure and detailed quotation based on the individual property.
