Outdoor Entertaining Areas, Decks & Pergolas

Covered alfresco areas, timber decks, pergolas and pool surround construction, finished to the same high standard as the rest of your home.

Quality outdoor construction, built to last in Australian conditions

Australians live outdoors, and a well-built entertaining area changes the way your family uses your home every single day. At Hannon Constructions, we take that seriously. We build alfresco areas, decks, pergolas and pool surrounds to the same standard we apply to every other project, properly engineered, properly finished, and built to handle the Australian climate for decades.

We are hands-on throughout, not a company that wins the job and hands it off. You will deal with us directly from the first conversation to the day the build is finished.

We build across the Hawkesbury, Hills District, and wider Sydney basin. If you have plans, or just an idea, we would love to talk.

What Drives Us

What we bring to every outdoor area build

Covered alfresco areas

A well built alfresco area extends your indoor living space outdoors and provides year round entertaining regardless of the weather. We manage all structural, roofing, electrical and finishing work throughout.

Decks and outdoor structures

Hardwood timber decks, composite decking, elevated structures and pergolas. We build outdoor structures that are properly engineered, structurally sound, and finished to complement the existing home.

Full project management

From council approvals and engineering sign offs through to trades coordination and site supervision, we manage the entire process so you do not have to.

Quality and compliance

All structural work engineered and certified to Australian standards. We do not cut corners, on compliance, on materials, or on finish.

High end finishes

Travertine paving, stone benchtops, integrated outdoor kitchens, quality timber and composite materials. We work with premium finishes and the trades who know how to use them properly.

Direct client relationship

Ryan and Tara respond to all enquiries personally and are your point of contact throughout. You will not be handed off to someone new, we're with you the whole way.

How It works

Your outdoor area, step by step

1 Tell us about your project

Once you get in contact with our team we will ask you to complete an online form which helps us understand your project goals, budget, timeframe, inspiration and overall vision of your project. We organise a phone call – Ryan personally calls you to discuss your project in detail, answer questions, explore ideas and determine the best next steps for your renovation or build.and ensure it aligns with our expertise, values and service area so we can deliver the best possible experience and outcome.

2 Initial Site meeting

We meet onsite to review your home, discuss ideas, explore possibilities, assess challenges and begin shaping the scope, vision and strategy for your project.

After the meeting, we provide detailed notes, recommendations and the next steps required to move your project into the planning and design phase.

We collaborate closely with you and your architect/designer to refine layouts, selections, functionality and construction details before pricing begins.

3 Approvals & planning

We handle the paperwork From council approvals to engineering sign-offs, we manage the documentation process so you don’t have to. Tara coordinates all scheduling, compliance, and pre-build administration, keeping everything on track before a single nail is driven.

4 Build & handover

Ryan is on site, every step of the way. We’re not a company that quotes and disappears. Ryan is hands-on throughout the entire build, managing trades, maintaining quality standards, and keeping you updated at every stage. You’ll always know where your project is at.

We’re not done until you’re happy Final walkthrough, defects rectified, and a thorough handover. We don’t consider a job finished until every detail is right. And we’re still contactable after handover, because the relationships we build with clients matter as much as the homes we build for them.

Professionalism and workmanship second to none

Just a small note of appreciation for the work you completed at our home. We have used a number of different tradesmen over the years and you have been by far the best tradesman we have dealt with. Your professionalism, workmanship and communication are second to none.

The project ran flawlessly, and with you being so meticulous with the quality of your work, the end results are amazing. We are extremely pleased with the results and have received numerous compliments.
We found it so much easier to work with a tradesman who kept us informed at every step along the way and completed the work upon the agreed timetable.

We would not think twice about using your services again in the future or recommending your work to our family and friends.

Stuart & Lana, Baulkham Hills

Delivered the highest possible quality, beyond our brief

We were referred to Ryan through another tradesman who we knew was a perfectionist so we had every faith that Ryan and his team would be able to deliver the high standards of building and finishes we wanted.
Every step of the way we knew Ryan had our best interests at heart and he often went beyond our brief to ensure he delivered the highest possible quality.

Ryan was able to plan ahead, stay on budget and provide excellent service and advice at all times.
We have no hesitation in recommending Hannon Constructions – in fact we have done it already and would do it again!

So happy, we've already contracted Ryan for a second project

We decided to run with a local builder Ryan Hannon from Hannon Constructions to do some renovations to our house. After speaking with Ryan and listing to his ideas and vision my wife and I could not be happier with the end result.

From start to finish nothing was a problem for Ryan and his team, we wanted a few changes along the way, and he went beyond what was required to make sure that the job was finished and completed to a very high standard.

To anyone thinking of contracting Hannon Constructions to Build, Renovate, Fix Up, Change, Alter anything we would recommend them with the utmost confidence that you will get a fantastic job from a very hard working and most importantly honest man who knows his trade extremely well.

We were that happy with the results, we have already contracted Ryan to start a second project at home for us.

Common Questions

Outdoor area construction FAQs

Do I need council approval for an outdoor entertainment area or deck?

It depends on the size, height and location of the structure on your property. Many decks and pergolas under a certain size can be approved as exempt or complying development, while larger or more complex outdoor entertainment areas may require a Development Application. We will advise you on exactly what applies to your property before we start.

What is the difference between an alfresco area and a pergola?

An alfresco area typically refers to a covered outdoor entertaining space attached to the home, often with a roofline that integrates with the main structure. A pergola is generally a freestanding or attached open structure with a lattice or open roof. Both can be built as part of a complete outdoor entertainment area and we build both.

Can you build an outdoor entertainment area as part of a larger renovation?

Absolutely. Many of our outdoor entertainment area builds are delivered as part of a broader home renovation or addition. Building the outdoor area at the same time as an internal renovation means everything integrates properly, structurally and visually.

Do you build poolside entertaining areas?

Yes. Poolside entertaining areas are one of our most requested outdoor builds. From travertine paving and timber decking through to covered pergola structures and full outdoor kitchens, we build complete poolside entertaining zones that tie the pool into a finished, functional outdoor living space.
