01 — Suburbs
Eight suburbs, eight different jobs
Each of these has its own housing stock and its own local variables. Pick yours to see what we typically build there and what changes a quote.
4157
Capalaba
Brick-and-tile, older creek-side timber homes and newer infill. Flood overlay and drainage checks come first here.
Capalaba builders →4163
Cleveland
Post-war cottages, character homes near the point and canal-front houses. Salt air and overlays drive the specification.
Cleveland builders →4160
Wellington Point
Older homes built facing the street instead of the bay. Reorientation and elevated decks do more here than extra rooms.
Wellington Point builders →4164
Thornlands
1990s–2000s family homes with the floor area already there. Reconfiguration and alfresco beat extending, nearly every time.
Thornlands builders →4165
Redland Bay
New estates, old waterfront cottages and acreage. Slope is the constant — footings, retaining and drainage get designed.
Redland Bay builders →4160
Ormiston
Older housing on established, well-planted blocks. Renovate rather than replace — with drainage and salt-air detailing checked first.
Ormiston builders →4165 · Acreage
Mount Cotton
Acreage, slope and bush. Site access, footings and the bushfire overlay decide the job as much as the house does.
Mount Cotton builders →4165
Victoria Point
Nineties and 2000s estate homes plus acreage toward Eprapah Creek. Reactive clay and tight side access drive the price.
Victoria Point builders →4159
Birkdale
Large blocks, post-war timber and 1970s brick. Overland flow and older framing are the two things we check first.
Birkdale builders →4178
Wynnum
Pre-1946 cottages under Brisbane City Council character controls, with salt air setting the specification.
Wynnum builders →4179
Manly
Steep streets above the harbour. Slope, access and outlook decide what a second storey or deck costs.
Manly builders →02 — Also covered

03 — Why local matters
A bayside job is not a generic job
Four things change from suburb to suburb around here, and all four change the build.
- Housing stock. A 1980s brick-and-tile home and a post-war cottage need completely different approaches to the same brief.
- Overlays. Flood, coastal hazard, bushfire, character and vegetation mapping all change the approval pathway — and they vary street by street.
- Ground. Reactive soil and sloping sites decide footing sizes, retaining and drainage. A site classification costs little and prevents a lot.
- Salt air. Near the water, fixings and hardware get specified for corrosion. It is a small cost that decides how the job looks in five years.

Our knowledge hub covers the approvals, licensing and construction rules behind all of this — including which jobs need a certifier and which are accepted development.
Where is Manttan Construction based?
Alexandra Hills, QLD 4161, in the Redlands. We hold QBCC licence 15030266 and work across Redland City and bayside Brisbane.
How far do you travel for a job?
Most of our work sits inside a twenty-minute drive of Alexandra Hills, covering Redland City and bayside Brisbane. We take jobs further afield when the scope justifies the travel, and we will tell you honestly if it does not.
Do you charge for a quote or a site visit?
No. Quotes and initial site visits within our service area are free, and we would rather look at the actual house than price from photographs.
Do you work on the Southern Moreton Bay Islands?
Island work is possible but it changes the program and cost because of barge access and material delivery. Talk to us about the scope first and we will tell you whether it stacks up.
