Fully Built, We Really are your One Stop Shed Shop.

Fully Built

Let the South West Sheds team take the hassle away from being an owner builder.

South West Sheds provides necessary permits, supervision of building works, domestic building insurance (only where the project cost exceeds $16,000) and on-site meetings throughout the process to ensure we are meeting your expectations and to keep you up-to-date with progress.

We take care of the full process, from permit applications through to the final inspection. We offer the peace of mind of having a registered builder managing every facet of the project, complete with relevant certifications and cover for all required insurances.

The Domestic Building Contract applies and we are bound by the conditions with clearly set amounts for payment structure. The contract only allows certain changes to the contract terms, which may involve additional cost.

We will quote the project specifically to your requirements after an on-site inspection.

Owner Build

This gives you the opportunity to do part of the required work yourself. As the owner builder, you manage the project.

We supply the complete shed kit to your site, and you will need to coordinate all trades. Once the trade work is completed, you will be responsible for the stormwater connection, arranging any electrical work you require, rubbish removal and organising the final inspection.

Customised for You

We value that every client has different needs and expectations of outcomes. Therefore, we have designed tailor-made services for you to choose from.

Kit Only

We will organise the delivery of the complete kit to your site. A set of instructions for your type of building, engineering and Reg 126 are provided. The kit will be covered by the specific manufacturer’s warranties.

Things You Should Know

To become an owner builder, you are now required (as of 1st September 2017) to complete the following:

Obtain a White Card
Complete an online assessment
Obtain construction insurance (around $2000)
Complete an application to become an owner builder

We encourage you to determine if this service is suitable for you by looking at the VBA online assessment.

Any building project constructed by an owner builder, and as required under Section 238(1) (A) of the Building Act 1993, if the property is sold within six-and-a-half years of completion of the project, it will require:

Where the total cost of the project is under $16,000, a building report prior to sale
Where the total cost of the project is above $16,000, a building report and owner builder’s Home Warranty Insurance for the remainder of the six-and-a-half year period

For projects in excess of $16,000, you will also need to apply for an Owner Builder’s Certificate of Consent issued by the Building Practitioners Board to submit with the building permit application.
