In Australia, all housing construction over a set value requires a Building Permit to be issued by a licensed Building Surveyor/Certifier before construction can begin. By law, the property owner must engage the Building Surveyor/Certifier directly. You may choose to manage this process yourself, or your Builder can manage it on your behalf.

Our homes are delivered in Kit form by our network of transport partners, and we offer free delivery Australia-wide*. Prior to delivery, you will complete a Site Delivery Instruction Form, which provides us with important information regarding access to your property. Based on the details you provide, a suitable truck will be nominated for your delivery.

Please note that some projects may require multiple deliveries and that some deliveries may involve a semi-trailer, which can be at least 16m long, 2.6m wide, and weigh up to 30 tonnes gross. It is essential that suitable access is provided to ensure a safe and complete delivery.

The new NCC 2022 mandates a minimum 7-star energy rating for all new homes. As part of your Design Process, we will undertake a preliminary energy assessment to ensure your Shed House achieves 7-star compliance.

If your home does not initially meet this standard, we will provide a clear pathway to achieve compliance. Possible measures may include upgraded glazing, selecting a lighter external cladding colour, incorporation of shading devices, ceiling fans, or increased insulation.

Our standard SHA Kit is designed to BAL 12.5 and can be upgraded to accommodate BAL 19, BAL 29 and BAL 40. BAL-FZ projects are assessed separately through our Special Projects pathway.

Your BAL rating is site-specific and not determined by SHA. You and/or your architect will need to engage a BPAD-accredited bushfire consultant to confirm your BAL rating and provide the required compliance documentation. SHA and your builder will use this information to determine any required upgrades.

Our standard Kit pricing is based on BAL 12.5. Any required SHA Kit upgrades will be priced separately. You and/or your architect should also allow for additional costs utside the SHA Kit, including items such as compliant windows and doors, decks and other site-specific bushfire requirements.

The National Construction Code (NCC) 2022 sets out the minimum requirements for all new buildings in Australia. Our homes are designed and engineered to meet Class 1A standards under the NCC. In addition, we offer a range of ancillary Class 10 Work & Play structures.

Our Kits are designed to be built on a concrete slab. All designs are pre-engineered for Class A, S, M, or H1 soil conditions. As part of Stage 5 – Construction Documentation, we provide site-specific engineering and foundation plans that reflect the geotechnical classification of your property.

Like all construction, timeframes vary depending on location, planning & approvals, specification and availability of trades. Provided below are timeframes for guidance only. Please note these exclude planning permit approvals, if required.

Site Specific Pack: 2 weeks
Construction Pack: 3 weeks
Building Permit: 2 - 4 weeks
Shed House Kit order: 4 - 6 weeks
Construction: 3 - 6 months

We recommend exploring your funding and finance options before commencing your Shed House journey. There are several solutions depending on your individual circumstances, and we encourage a proactive approach by discussing options with your current bank, other lenders, or a reputable finance broker.

Some options you may wish to explore include:

- Equity funding your Kit

- Alternate equity sources

- Including your kit in your construction contract with your builder

Please note that the options described do not constitute financial advice.

Speak to our Sales Team and complete your New Client Form, and we will provide you with a Client Proposal. Once you are ready to proceed:

- Engage a Geotechnical Engineer to undertake a soil test.

- Engage a Land Surveyor to undertake a Feature & Level Survey.

- Select your Design and commence your Design Process.

For more information on the required scope, please refer to our Design Information Document, which our Sales Team can provide.
