From a simple timber deck to a fully covered alfresco pergola, we design and build outdoor living spaces that extend how you use your home, across Melbourne's eastern and south-eastern suburbs.
No obligation. We’ll come back to you with honest advice.
Planning a deck or pergola? Monarc Developments is a Melbourne-based team with over 10 years of hands-on building and renovation experience. We design and build outdoor living spaces that connect naturally to your home’s existing layout and finishes.
Whether you want a simple timber deck, a fully enclosed alfresco or a shade structure over an existing patio, our approach focuses on practical design, durable materials and a result that holds up to Melbourne’s weather. We believe outdoor structures should be built properly from the start, without unnecessary shortcuts.
We start by understanding how you’d like to use the space. Some homeowners want a place to entertain family and friends, others want a quiet spot to relax, and many want somewhere the kids can play while dinner is being made. Knowing this helps us decide on the size, shape and position of the deck or pergola, as well as where to include lighting, power and shade.
We also look closely at how the new structure will connect with your home. Floor levels, doorways, rooflines, drainage and the path of the sun all play a part. Getting these right means your outdoor area feels like a natural extension of your living space rather than something added on as an afterthought.
From there, we help you choose materials and finishes. Decking boards, posts, beams, roofing and screening all come in a range of options, and we’ll explain the differences in appearance, durability and maintenance so you can make a confident decision that suits your budget.
Clear communication and reliable timelines are central to our approach. We take the time to understand how you want to use your outdoor space and maintain communication throughout the build, from design through to completion.
From initial planning through to the final finish, our priority is quality workmanship. We aim to deliver a deck or pergola built to last, while keeping the process straightforward for you.
Outdoor structures are exposed to sun, rain and wind every day, so the details matter. We pay close attention to footings, framing, fixings and clearances, and we choose materials that suit Melbourne’s conditions. That care is what keeps a deck solid underfoot and a pergola looking good for years.
You’ll have one point of contact throughout. Jaan keeps you informed at each stage of the build, and we keep the site clean and tidy so your backyard and home are left in good shape when we finish.
When the build is complete, we walk through the finished deck or pergola with you, check every detail and explain how to look after it. It’s the final step in a process designed to leave you with an outdoor space you’ll enjoy for years to come.
Alongside decks and pergolas, we also provide balcony renovations, home extensions and full home renovations. If you are planning a broader Melbourne home project, these services can be coordinated around your property’s requirements and your overall goals.
A new deck or pergola often works best when it’s planned together with the rooms that open onto it. If you’re also thinking about updating your kitchen, opening up a living area or adding new doors to the backyard, we can plan the work together so the indoor and outdoor spaces flow naturally and share a consistent look.

A few things homeowners usually ask before getting started.
It depends on the size, height and location of the structure. We assess this during planning and manage any required permits so the build is fully compliant. You won't need to deal with council paperwork on your own.
We work with a range of timber and composite decking materials, and we'll talk you through the options that suit your budget, style and maintenance preferences. Timber offers a warm, natural look, while composite boards require less upkeep over time.
Yes. Depending on your goals, a pergola can be left open, partially screened or fully enclosed with roofing and walls to create usable space all year round.
Timelines vary with size and structural complexity. During our initial consultation, we map out a customised timeline with clear milestones, so you know what to expect.
