Cladding Installation & Repairs Queensland

Why quality cladding matters in Queensland

Queensland’s subtropical climate, cyclonic zones and UV intensity demand exterior wall systems that are both resilient and compliant. A well-installed cladding system protects the building envelope from moisture, heat and impact, while delivering architectural flair. Conversely, poor workmanship or outdated materials can invite mould, energy loss and non-compliance with the National Construction Code (NCC). If your project involves new builds, extensions or remedial work, engaging specialist cladding installers and repairers is crucial.

Popular material options in QLD

1. Aluminium composite panels (ACP)

Lightweight, versatile and ideal for high-rise projects up to the Gold Coast skyline. Ensure panels are fire-rated to AS 5113.

2. Fibre-cement & compressed sheeting

Favoured for coastal areas thanks to its resistance to rot and salt spray.

3. Timber & composite timber

Adds warmth to subtropical homes but must be sealed correctly to handle humidity.

4. Brick slips & masonry veneer

Delivers a solid look without the weight of full-depth brick, useful for renovations.

5. Metal standing-seam & corrugated steel

Durable under cyclonic wind loads common in North Queensland.

Cost guide: what to budget

Pricing varies by material, height access and design complexity. As a rule of thumb:

• Basic fibre-cement installation: $110–$160 per m²
• Mid-range ACP or metal: $180–$300 per m²
• Premium timber/composite systems: $250–$400 per m²
• Localised repair work: $90–$150 per hour plus materials

Request itemised quotes that include substrate preparation, flashings, scaffolding or EWPs, and disposal of any non-compliant panels.

Regulations & compliance

Queensland adopts the latest NCC along with state-specific fire safety amendments. According to the Australian Building Codes Board, buildings of Type A and B construction must use non-combustible cladding unless a performance solution is approved. Licensed installers will provide Form 16 certificates and product datasheets to prove compliance.
