As the days grow shorter and the cooler months settle in, most homeowners naturally shift their focus indoors. But the smartest ones? They’re already planning their outdoor upgrades — and securing a brand-new verandah well before the spring and summer rush.
At Innovative Verandahs, we believe the best time to start your verandah journey is now. Here’s why acting early can save you time, stress, and even money — while ensuring you’re ready to enjoy your outdoor space when the warmer weather returns.
1. Beat the Spring Rush
Spring is traditionally the busiest time of year for outdoor construction projects. As the temperatures rise, so does demand — and that often means longer wait times and busy schedules. By starting your verandah project during autumn or winter, you’re ahead of the curve.
You’ll secure quicker build times, greater flexibility in scheduling, and the attention your project deserves.
2. Allow Time for Design, Planning and Permits
A stunning verandah doesn’t happen overnight. Design, planning, and securing the necessary permits can take time — sometimes several weeks. Starting now means you can work closely with our team to bring your vision to life, finalise all the approvals, and be ready to build by August.
That way, your verandah will be complete just in time for the warmer spring months and the festive entertaining season.
3. Design Without the Pressure
Starting your verandah project now means you have time to thoughtfully design a space that perfectly suits your home and lifestyle. Whether you want an alfresco dining area, a cosy reading nook, or a weatherproof entertainment zone, planning ahead allows you to make confident decisions — without the last-minute rush.
4. Make the Most of Your Outdoor Space Year-Round
A verandah isn’t just for summer. With clever features like insulated roofing, café blinds, and outdoor heating options, your verandah can become a comfortable outdoor living area, even during winter. Imagine enjoying your morning coffee outdoors, rugged up under a heater, while sheltered from the wind and rain.
5. Increase Your Home’s Value Before Selling Season
If you’re thinking about selling your home in the future, a verandah can instantly boost street appeal and property value. Real estate experts agree: outdoor living spaces are high on buyers’ wishlists. Completing your verandah now means you’re market-ready when the busy spring selling season hits.
