For sheds less than 36sqm and 3m high overall, you may be fully exempt from approvals! Most structures under 50sqm are eligible for a DA-exempt Building Approval, while larger ones require a DA. First Sheds are experts in designing Colorbond sheds to avoid DA requirements, saving 4–6 months of time and thousands in fees. If your site meets conditions like boundary setbacks and coverage limits, we’ll assess whether it qualifies for DA exemption.

As the property owner, it’s your responsibility to ensure your shed is approved by the right authorities. We’ll manage that for you — ensuring your shed is engineered, compliant, and approved. Unapproved structures can attract council removal notices, insurance issues, and fines. They can also complicate property sales since unapproved buildings appear in reports. Always get your shed approved — First Sheds handles it all for you.

Shed sizes vary based on your needs — from 15sqm to thousands of square metres. Typical garages are: single (3m x 6m), double (6m x 6m), and triple (6m x 9m). Many add extra space for workshops, storage, or hoists. You can also adjust the roof pitch for solar panels. Every shed is fully customisable to suit your space and purpose.

Yes! Every Colorbond shed we make is custom-built. Whether it’s 16.45m wide or includes extra windows, insulation, doors, or internal walls — we’ll manufacture to your exact specs

Not at all! A portion of your shed can be Colorbond, and the rest can be built to suit your specific needs — like a studio, workshop, or granny flat. We often combine materials and designs for multipurpose projects.

You sure can! We can design and approve multiple structures — like carports, Colorbond sheds, and machinery sheds — together on the same application for efficiency and seamless layout.

Don’t be fooled by “cheap” kits — they’re not full builds. A small Colorbond shed like a single car garage usually costs $15,000–$30,000 fully built. A large 200sqm shed (4m eave height, 10m x 20m) typically ranges $100,000–$130,000, including earthworks, concreting, stormwater, materials, and installation.

From quote to completion usually takes 14–16 weeks for DA-exempt projects. That includes 1–2 weeks for design, 6 weeks for approval, 4–6 weeks for materials, and 2 weeks to start building after delivery. DA-required projects may take 4–6 months longer.

Every package includes shed materials, slab preparation, concrete slab, shed erection, and drafting/approval fees. We can also include plumbing, electrical, and additional concrete works — or simply supply and erect if you prefer.

Yes! All Bluescope steel materials include a 30-year warranty, and all builds done under our licence carry a 7-year structural warranty. We’re fully licensed, insured, and covered by both public liability and professional indemnity.
