And What Impacts the Price
If you’re thinking about adding a patio to your home, one of the first questions you’ll probably ask is: how much does it cost to build a patio in Perth?
It’s a fair question; after all, a patio is a significant investment, and knowing the potential costs upfront can help you plan. The challenge is that there isn’t a single “set price” for patios. Instead, the cost depends on a few important factors like size, design, materials, and even your local council requirements.
At Advanced Patios, we’ve been designing and building patios across WA since 2008. What we’ve learned is that no two patios are the same, which means no two prices are the same either. Let’s break down what influences the cost of your patio and give you a realistic picture of what to expect.
Average Patio Costs in Perth
As a guide, here’s a rough idea of patio prices in Perth:
- Smaller flat roof patios: $8,000–$12,000
- Medium-sized gable patios: $12,000–$18,000
- Large gable, dome, or custom patios: $18,000–$25,000+
These numbers can increase if you’re adding premium materials like Colorbond® roofing, insulated Stratco Cooldek® panels, or if your design includes complex engineering or council requirements.
What Impacts the Price of a Patio?
- Size and Scale
It may sound obvious, but the larger your patio, the higher the cost. More square metres means more materials, more labour, and often, more engineering considerations. A compact patio for a small courtyard will sit at the lower end of the scale, while a full alfresco extension designed for entertaining will sit much higher.
- Design and Style
Flat patios are generally the most cost-effective option. They’re simple, stylish, and versatile. Gable patios (with their pitched roof) cost more, as they require additional materials and more complex engineering. Dome or curved patios, as well as custom designs that integrate seamlessly with your home, will typically sit at the higher end of the cost spectrum.
- Materials
Your choice of materials has a big impact on cost and performance. At Advanced Patios, we proudly partner with Stratco – one of Australia’s most trusted outdoor building brands – and use Colorbond® steel for roofing and finishes. These aren’t the cheapest options on the market, but they are long-lasting, weather-resistant, and backed by solid warranties (including a 25-year structural guarantee). Cheaper alternatives may save you upfront, but often cost more in maintenance and repairs over time.
- Complexity of the Build
Every site is different. A straightforward patio attached to the back of your house will usually be simpler, and cheaper, than a freestanding structure on uneven ground or one that requires extra engineering to meet council guidelines. The more complex your project, the more time, expertise, and cost it will involve.
- Council Approvals
In WA, council approvals are a necessary step for most patio builds. This can include planning approval, building permits, and in some cases, certifications from engineers. At Advanced Patios, we manage all of this on your behalf. While this step doesn’t usually add huge amounts to the build price, it does impact timelines and requires specialist handling.
Why Every Patio Quote is Different
Because of these variables, it’s almost impossible to compare two patio quotes “like for like” unless you know exactly what’s included. Some companies may appear cheaper at first glance but don’t include key costs like site checks, engineering, or warranty-backed materials.
That’s why at Advanced Patios, we don’t do cookie-cutter quotes. We sit down with you, look at your space, discuss how you want to use it, and then give you a tailored design and price that reflects your lifestyle and budget.
