Items like, size, use,colour, location, site access, our build process, any potential council issues, and any other questions you may have been discussed in this stage.

3. Design & Engineering

The first step to building your quality shed is to get it Designed and Engineered according to the Australian Building Code and your exact location. Our team of qualified engineers and draftsmen then compile a complete set of CAD drawings for your shed. Each building component is individually part numbered according to our modular building system. The drawings are reviewed by our team & then checked by yourself, prior to manufacture.

4. Building Permits & Approvals

As a registered builder we can look after your council approvals process. This means we contact your local shire council on your behalf and arrange the submission of all necessary documents and building license applications to obtain approval to construct your shed on the property. If you would like us to manage this part of the process, ask our sales team to add it to your proposal.

5. Manufacture

After approvals are received (both from yourself and the council), your completed shed plans are handed over to the factory and our crew gets to work manufacturing the structural steel. Using laser cut components and premium quality steel, your shed is welded together with the utmost care and pride, to ensure that when it arrives on site it will facilitate a hassle-free build.

6. Galvanizing

Once all the structural steel has been fabricated, it all gets sent off to our galvaniser for complete hot dip galvanizing coating (inside & out) to ensure long-lasting protection from corrosion. All of our sheds are treated this way and include both the columns and the trusses for maximum protection. You can be assured that your shed will outlast any other shed that has not been treated in this unique way.

Each item required is checked off against the applicable load sheet to ensure a hassle free and complete delivery with no delays onsite.
