Browse Forums Building Standards; Getting It Right! 1 Apr 08, 2018 3:38 pm Hi, we are getting our first home (double storey custom built) - so please excuse our naivety. Just wanted to sound board the idea of having a sun deck / large balcony on level 1 over the double garage. Can anyone who may have built a similar home or a structural engineer shed some light on the regulations around this please?
