Overview

The Signature approach.

Fire pits are the anchor of a great outdoor evening. Signature designs and builds custom fire features — gas or wood — as focal points for entertainment areas, boma spaces, resort lounges and executive residential terraces.

Wood-burning fire pits are engineered with proper combustion airflow and safe clearances to combustible surfaces. Gas fire pits are commissioned with a certified installer, appropriate cut-off valves and stone or lava-rock beds.

Integrated seating — poured concrete benches, timber banquettes, stone-clad ring seating — is part of the standard scope. The fire pit and its seating are drawn as one composition, not as two unrelated purchases.

For commercial and hospitality installations we deliver fire pits with the compliance paperwork insurance underwriters expect, including certified gas installation records where applicable.

Why Signature

Built to a spec, not to a price.

One-contract delivery

Structure, decking, cabinetry, lighting, appliances — all in one contract. One team accountable from concept to keys.

Engineered structures

Steel and timber sized by our in-house engineer for wind, snow and appliance loads — never guessed from a catalogue.

Marine-grade specifications

Balau, teak, capped composite, hot-dip galvanised steel — materials chosen because they survive Zimbabwean weather without failing.

Integrated services

Gas, electrical, water and lighting all designed into the structure from the outset, not chased in after the fact.

Custom cabinetry

Powder-coated frames, stone or epoxy-poured worktops — outdoor kitchens built to indoor cabinetry standards.

Bespoke, not modular

Every pergola, gazebo and outdoor kitchen is drawn to your site. No off-the-shelf kits pretending to fit.

Our process

From consult to handover.

01

Lifestyle brief

We ask how you actually want to use the space — dinners for eight, Sunday braais for twenty, a quiet reading spot — and design around that, not around a catalogue.

02

Design & 3D

Layout drawings and 3D renders showing the structure, the finishes and the sightlines from inside the house looking out.

03

Engineering

Structural steel and timber sized for the span and the wind load. Roof loadings calculated for solar, planters or PV panels if part of the brief.

04

Fabrication & delivery

Steel and cabinetry fabricated in our workshop, timber sourced and machined, everything staged to arrive on site in the correct sequence.

05

Site installation

Foundations, structure, roofing, cabinetry, appliances, plumbing and electrical — one crew from start to finish, not four different sub-contractors.

06

Commissioning & handover

Gas certification where required, appliance commissioning, lighting scenes programmed and a full walkthrough with the client before sign-off.

Materials & specification

What we work with.

Materials are specified for service life, not initial capital cost. Every quote lists brands, grades and quantities so you can see exactly what your project is built from.

Structural steel

Locally rolled sections, hot-dip galvanised or duco-finished, sized by our in-house engineer for wind, snow and appliance loads.

Premium hardwoods

Balau, teak and iroko decking and cladding — dense, tannin-rich timbers that survive African weather without failing.

Capped composite decking

Marine-grade WPC boards with polymer caps for zero-maintenance, colour-stable pool decks and terraces.

Louvred and solid roofing

Aluminium louvre systems, IBR sheet, polycarbonate and thatched roof options — each with the correct engineering behind it.

Outdoor cabinetry

Marine-grade ply substrates, powder-coated aluminium frames, stone or epoxy-poured worktops that shrug off UV and rain.

Appliances & fittings

Built-in braais, gas hobs, pizza ovens, undercounter fridges, sinks and taps — specified from proven outdoor-rated brands.

Pricing guidance

Honest ranges, not guesses.

Outdoor living structures are highly bespoke. What follows is an honest guide to help clients budget before we sit down for a design conversation.

Pergola (steel or timber)

Depending on span, roof type and finishes.

USD 4,500 – 22,000

Full outdoor kitchen

Cabinetry, worktops, built-in appliances, gas and electrical.

USD 8,000 – 38,000

Composite / hardwood deck

Depending on board spec, sub-frame material and elevation.

USD 110 – 260 / m²

Fire pit feature

Wood or gas-fed, stone-clad, with optional integrated seating.

USD 1,800 – 6,500

Cost factors

  • ◆Span and roof type of the structure
  • ◆Timber species vs. composite decking
  • ◆Appliance schedule for outdoor kitchens
  • ◆Integration with existing house services (gas, electrical, water)
  • ◆Access for delivery and installation plant

We deliver outdoor living packages as one contract — design, structure, decking, cabinetry, lighting and appliances — so accountability sits with one party from concept to keys.

Maintenance & aftercare

Built to last, cared for to prove it.

Timber decking

Annual clean and re-oil — spring or early winter — to keep tannin colour and moisture protection. Composite decks need only a hose down.

Steel & aluminium

Bi-annual inspection of coatings and fixings. Any touch-up work done immediately to prevent creeping corrosion under a paint film.

Roof & drainage

Clear leaves from louvre gullies and gutters before the rainy season. A five-minute job that saves major overflow damage later.

Cabinetry & appliances

Deep clean of stone/epoxy tops, servicing of gas fittings and appliance checks are covered under an optional annual retainer.
