The Patio Factory

What The Patio Factory does

The Patio Factory is a Perth-based, family-owned manufacturer and installer of custom outdoor steel structures, including patios, carports, pergolas, and verandahs. Founded in 2004 and led by Director Yuri Lazu, the company operates a 12-person team from its headquarters and in-house fabrication workshop at Unit 6, 117 Kurnall Road, Welshpool, Western Australia. All products are fabricated using Australian BlueScope steel with Colorbond finishes in 22 colours, and the company offers seven distinct patio styles (Gable, Flat, Raised Flat/Skillion, Dome, Louvre, Carports, Pergolas) plus complementary insulated roofing systems from Bondor (SolarSpan) and Stratco (Cooldek, Outback louvre).

The business operates a direct-to-consumer, sales-led model with free onsite measure and quote consultations. Two distinct revenue streams exist: fully installed patios (end-to-end service including design, council approval, fabrication, and installation) and DIY kits (pre-cut, pre-drilled, engineer-approved factory-direct kits shipped across Perth metro and regional WA). Revenue is supplemented by a finance partnership offering up to 60 months interest-free terms on projects up to $20,000. The company manages the entire building permit process with every Perth shire, removing a significant friction point for residential customers.

The customer base is comprised almost entirely of Perth metropolitan and regional Western Australian residential homeowners seeking to add outdoor living space, vehicle protection, or property value. Marketing is concentrated on the company's website, Google Business Profile (170+ reviews), suburb-specific local SEO pages, and direct phone sales. The company differentiates on 20+ years of local experience, in-house fabrication quality control, factory-direct pricing, a 15-year structural warranty, and a lifetime workmanship guarantee. No institutional funding, M&A activity, or international expansion has been disclosed.

Others

• Palram: Global manufacturer of polycarbonate and Twinwall roofing sheets supplied to The Patio Factory for hybrid patio designs. Technology/input supplier in the same outdoor-roofing category rather than a competing installer.
• Colorbond: BlueScope-owned brand of pre-painted steel finishes (22 colours used by The Patio Factory). Acts as a co-branded material ecosystem the company relies on for differentiation, not a direct competitor.
• BlueScope Steel: Primary steel supplier for The Patio Factory and owner of the Colorbond brand. While not a direct competitor, BlueScope's Lysaght range competes in adjacent outdoor-structure channels and its pricing directly sets The Patio Factory's input cost structure.
• Bondor: Manufacturer of SolarSpan insulated roofing panels — a strategic technology supplier and 'authorized reseller' partner to The Patio Factory. Bondor's product is integral to The Patio Factory's premium insulated-roof upsell and reflects the same insulated-panel category across the Australian market.
• Orrcon Steel: Australian steel products supplier for The Patio Factory's structural framing and components. Adjacent input partner rather than a competing patio builder.

Direct peers

• Stratco: Largest Australian manufacturer and retailer of patios, carports, verandahs, louvres and outdoor structures — the national-scale peer offering the same product categories (gable, flat, dome, louvre, carport) and the same key materials (Cooldek, Outback) that The Patio Factory resells. Significantly larger scale and broader geographic footprint.
