Do I need a building permit for a shed?
Permit requirements vary by state and local council. Generally, sheds under 10m² may not require a permit if they meet setback requirements, but this varies. Larger sheds, garages, and structures in bushfire zones typically need permits. Read our permit guide or call us for specific advice on your project and location.
How long does it take to build a shed?
Manufacturing typically takes 4-8 weeks depending on customization and current demand. Installation takes 1-3 days for most residential sheds. We'll provide accurate timeframes when you order.
