Find skilled builders in East Melbourne

I am looking for an experienced pergola / roofing specialist who may be able to provide advice and possible waterproofing improvements for a custom-designed backyard pergola structure. The pergola has already been built and I would ideally like to retain the existing timber structure, as it was custom designed to suit the heritage style courtyard and outdoor space. The current issue is mainly related to waterproofing and leaking during rain. The roof uses irregular-shaped transparent acrylic/polycarbonate panels with a custom geometric design. Over time, silicone joints and timber movement appear to have caused multiple leaking points. I am NOT looking for a quick silicone patch job only. I would prefer someone with experience in: Pergola roofing Polycarbonate roofing systems Skylight / waterproofing detail Custom outdoor structures At this stage, I am mainly looking for: Professional advice Assessment of possible solutions Waterproofing redesign ideas Whether existing panels should be replaced or reinstalled differently Advice regarding roof weight / structure suitability if thicker panels are considered The overall aesthetic and open courtyard feeling are important to me, so I would like to improve the waterproofing while preserving the architectural style and transparency as much as possible. Photos attached. Open to discussion and inspection onsite. Open to quote after inspection

We have an outdoor shed (metal sheeting) measuring 3m wide x 0.78m x 1.7m high (brand Easyshed). It has been assembled, but the walls need to be erected. This is likely a two person job or else 1 person who is skilled at holding the walls to drill them together with nails. It should be a straightforward job IF you have experience at assembly or are a skilled tradesperson. Please don’t apply if you don’t have this direct experience - we have been stuffed around before on this task and just need to get the job done. Thank you.
