— Size. A double carport needs nearly twice the roof and structure of a single.

— Roof style. Gable and hip roofs cost more than a simple flat skillion roof.

— Slab & footings. Pouring a new slab adds $2,000–$5,000 over building on an existing surface.

— Attached versus freestanding. Tying into the house roofline adds engineering and finishing work.

— Approvals & site. Council permits, engineering and sloping or tight sites all add cost.

— Check council rules early — most carports need approval, especially near the front boundary.

— Match the roof colour and pitch to the house; it lifts resale value for little extra cost.

— Confirm the quote covers stormwater connection — leaving gutters draining nowhere causes problems later.
