For sheds under 36sqm and 3m high overall, you may be fully exempt from all approvals! Most structures under 50sqm qualify for a DA-exempt Building Approval, and anything larger will need a full DA. However, First Sheds are experts at designing Skillion sheds to meet DA exemption requirements, saving you months and thousands of dollars. Contact us for a full block assessment.

It’s the property owner’s responsibility to ensure all buildings are approved. If you engage us, we handle the full approvals process, ensuring your shed is compliant, engineered, and built to code. Without approval, you risk removal notices, blocked insurance claims, and resale complications. We strongly recommend proper approvals for peace of mind and long-term value.

The size depends entirely on your needs. A single garage is typically 3m x 6m, a double 6m x 6m, and a triple 6m x 9m. Add extra space for storage or a workshop, or increase the pitch for solar panels. Skillion sheds can span up to 15–16m wide and can be built to almost any specification.

Yes! Every Skillion shed is custom-designed and made to order. Choose exact dimensions, roof pitch, windows, doors, insulation, openings, and more. Whether you need a compact garage or a large-scale workshop, we’ll design it to fit perfectly.

No, not at all! You can design a multipurpose structure — part Skillion shed, part studio, or granny flat. We’ll help you maximise functionality while streamlining the approval process for all structures at once.

Yes! We can submit and approve multiple structures together — such as carports, garages, or studios — in one go. This coordinated approach saves time, reduces fees, and ensures your property layout is cohesive.

Don’t be fooled by cheap shed kits — a full project includes approvals, concreting, stormwater, and installation. Smaller projects (like a single-car garage) typically cost $15,000–$30,000. Larger builds, such as a 200sqm Skillion shed with 4m eave height, cost between $100,000–$130,000 including all materials and labour.

ypically, the quote, design, and acceptance process takes 1–2 weeks. A DA-exempt Building Approval takes around 6 weeks. Materials arrive in 4–6 weeks, with builds commencing shortly after. In total, expect 14–16 weeks for a complete project including approvals (add 4–6 months if a DA is needed).

Our packages include everything: shed kit supply, earthworks and slab prep, concrete slab, construction, and approval/drafting fees. Optional extras include plumbing, electrical, and additional concreting — or we can provide kit and erection services only.

Yes! All materials come with a 30-year Bluescope warranty, and all builds under our licence include a 7-year structural warranty. We are fully licensed and insured with public liability and professional indemnity coverage.
