Five non-negotiables on every Endure job. Not aspirational — this is the sign-off checklist before any build is handed over. If it's not right, it gets fixed before we move on.
01
Water management
No surface where water ponds on structural timber. Joist tops protected at deck-board interfaces. Ledger flashed correctly. Clear drainage paths.
02
Material & treatment class
Right treatment rating for the actual exposure — above-ground, low-clearance, coastal. No untreated structural timber. Cut ends sealed on site.
03
Connections & corrosion
Fasteners rated for the environment — coastal or inland. No mixed metals. All structural connectors fully fixed. Posts isolated from concrete.
04
Ventilation & drying
Structure can dry after rain. No sealed voids without airflow. Skirting ventilated or removable. Drainage paths stay clear of future landscaping.
05
Load path & structure
Loads transfer cleanly from boards to footings. Joist spacing correct for the board material. No packers, no improvised fixes, no unsupported spans.
