At Ideal, we understand that home is where the heart is
and that’s why we put as much care into creating your
new building as we would our own. Our tradespeople
are all highly-skilled locals who stand behind their
workmanship one hundred percent.

results. The garage has been built
to a very high standard and looks

the property!”
With so many two-car families, a double garage can add
more room for the all-important beer fridge or somewhere
value to a property as well as being handy right now! Double to store the kayak and the kid’s bikes. As with all Ideal
garages offer secure storage for two vehicles and a bit
buildings, how big you choose to go is simply up to you!

through the concepts –
anything seemed possible.’’

As well as having a tried and tested range of standard
plans, we can also create something completely unique or
sympathetic to your existing architecture. We can talk over
your ideas and include special wall or roof claddings, a
particular roof pitch, specific foundation requirements or
a whole host of other custom-design options.

satisfy council rules and regulations which Ideal can
advise you on. Utility sheds make great storage for tools,
equipment, garden or lifestyle block chemicals – anything
that you need to keep secure and protected.

Carports
Carports are a cost-effective way to protect your vehicle
from the elements and add value to your home. They’re
also a good option for sites where a garage would restrict
views and access. Our gabled or flat-roofed carports are
available as singles or doubles, freestanding or attached
to other buildings or garages. Customised designs are
also available.
