Before
After
" From the initial design that I provided, Mayank did the pricing using maps and it was half of the cost quoted by other established companies. The setup for obtaining the building permits, inspections, delivery of hardware, measuring and building the carport was well planned and payment in various stages of construction. Measurements were very meticulously done with no margin for errors, and well thought of system for guttering and storm water drains. The design has a skewed section of the carport which was the main challenge and Mayank's creativity made the difference where others would have opted for a square shaped carport. Mayank has shown professionalism, maintained very good communication and always available on the phone, I appreciated his friendly attitude and advice. The outcome of the build can be viewed in the images I'm uploading to his google page. Mayank is highly commendable, you may confidently hire him knowing that the job will get done right. "

Every Stratco patio or carport must meet structural requirements for wind classification, drainage and boundary conditions. We ensure your project is not only visually aligned with your home, but compliant and structurally sound.
We offers flexible design options to suit every home and lifestyle. Choose from the classic Gable Patio for open, airy entertaining, a modern Skillion Patio for clean architectural lines, or a practical Freestanding Patio ideal for pools and backyard zones away from the house.
For unique spaces, Livin Renovations also delivers custom Stratco Outback® designs, tailored to your layout, block conditions and council requirements. As a Stratco Authorised Dealer and registered builder, we help you select the right Outback® patio solution and manage everything from design to approvals and construction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, most patios, verandahs and carports in Victoria require a building permit—especially when they are attached to the house or exceed certain size or height limits. Us at Livin Renovations can manage the full permit process, including drawings, engineering and council or private building surveyor approvals.
Costs vary depending on size, design, materials and site conditions. As a general guide, patio and carport projects can range from budget-friendly options to fully customised designs. A professional site assessment and quote will give you an accurate price with no surprises.
Once permits are approved and materials are ready, most Stratco patios and carports are installed within a few days. The overall timeline depends on design complexity, weather and permit approvals, which can take several weeks.

Pergola - Typically open or partially covered
Verandah - A roofed structure that usually runs along the front or side of a home

This is the most common question we get asked. The truth is not all structures will add value to your home. A well-designed and expertly installed outdoor structure increases usable living space, improves street appeal and can significantly boost resale value - especially in Melbourne’s lifestyle-focused market.
Using an authorised Stratco installer ensures your patio, verandah or carport is designed, engineered and installed exactly to Stratco standards. This protects your investment and gives you confidence that the structure will perform as intended for years to come.
Yes, at Livin Renovations we manage the entire approval process, including drawings, engineering, permits and inspections-so you don’t have to deal with paperwork or council confusion. Having said that, if you have preference for your own building draftsman and building surveyor, we would be more than glad to work alongside them to ensure the process is smooth and efficient.
Most Stratco products come with long manufacturer warranties on materials, and we provide 10 year installation warranties for peace of mind.
Yes. Many patios and verandahs are designed to allow future additions like lighting, ceiling fans or outdoor heaters. Planning this early is highly recommended as it can be very cost effective at the build stage and end results look seamless.
