They will not come out to your site and assess earthworks, concreting, drainage and electrical hook ups, or offer these services. Build your Garden shed with First Sheds!

Garden Shed FAQs (Canberra & Surrounds)
For sheds under 36sqm and 3m high, you may be fully exempt from approvals! Most sheds under 50sqm qualify for a DA-exempt Building Approval, while larger ones may require a full DA. Unless your garden shed is bigger than a double garage, you’re likely fine with no approval. Find out more on our approvals page.
Even if approval isn’t required, it’s still your responsibility as the property owner to ensure compliance. We handle the approval process for you to make sure your shed is engineered and certified correctly. Building unapproved may lead to council notices, insurance issues, or complications during property sales. Always build properly — we’ll make it simple and hassle-free.
Our smallest sheds start at 2m x 2.325m. For sheds under 3m x 3m, Bunnings flat-packs can be suitable, but for stronger and more durable sheds, we recommend our custom-built options starting from 3m x 3m and up.
Yes! Every garden shed is custom-built to your specifications. Choose any dimension, roof pitch, windows, doors, insulation, openings, or internal walls — we’ll manufacture exactly what fits your block and budget.
Yes! We can design and approve multiple structures — like carports, garages, and studio sheds — in a single application. This makes the approval and build process faster and more efficient.
A complete project including earthworks, concreting, stormwater connection, supply, and erection typically costs around $15,000. Partial services (like kit-only or installation-only) are also available if preferred.
Material supply takes about 4–6 weeks. During that time, we handle earthworks and concreting. Once materials arrive, builds usually start within 2 weeks. Each project has a dedicated manager to coordinate everything for you.
Our standard package includes materials, slab prep, concrete slab, shed construction, and drafting/approval fees. Optional extras include plumbing, electrical, and custom concrete extensions — or we can simply supply and erect the shed if you prefer.
Yes! All Bluescope steel materials include a 30-year warranty. Builds completed under our licence also include a 7-year structural warranty. We’re fully licensed, insured, and backed by public liability and professional indemnity coverage.
