Building a shed is an exciting journey, and at All Sheds, we’re here to make it smooth and hassle free from consultation to completion. To help you stay on top of everything, we’ve created this ultimate checklist. By following these steps, it will ensure your new shed is ready to use and absolutely perfect!
Planning & Permits to Delivery
At All Sheds, we take the hassle out of your shed building journey by managing the permits and more, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience. Here’s how we make your shed project smooth and enjoyable:
- Structural Engineering: Our expert team will design and prepare all structural engineering to meet Australian Standards, ensuring your shed is built to last.
- Detailed Drawings: We provide comprehensive structural drawings and elevations required for your Building Permit approval.
- Permit Submissions: Leave the paperwork to us! We’ll handle all building and planning permit submissions to your local council.
Note: This service is subject to your quote. If you’re unsure, feel free to chat with our team for clarification.
- Your New Shed: We manage the fabrication, supply, and delivery of all structural and concrete components to your site. Once everything is ready, we’ll schedule and coordinate contractors for the construction and concrete work.
Plumbing Requirements
Proper plumbing is crucial for the functionality and compliance of your shed. Here’s what you need to know:
- Downpipes and Stormwater Connections: Make sure your downpipes are connected to a legal discharge point, like a stormwater system or a water tank. It’s a crucial step to pass your final inspection.
- Final Inspection: Speaking of inspections, plumbing needs to be completed before your shed gets the all clear.
Our Pro Tip: Plan your plumbing early to avoid delays at the end of the project. If you need help with organising a licenced plumber to complete these works, let the team know during the consultation process.
Electrical Work
Let’s talk power! While All Sheds specialises in construction, here’s what you need to do for electrical setup:
- Hire a Licensed Electrician: Get a professional to handle wiring and other electrical tasks for safety and compliance.
- Subcontracting Options: Occasionally, we can organise electrical work for you, please let us know during the consultation stage if you’d like this included.
Reminder: Think about your future power needs, like power points for tools or lighting, and plan accordingly.
Construction Stage
Now comes the exciting part, building your new shed! All Sheds partners with skilled contractors who meet our high quality standards to bring your vision to life.
- The Build: From foundation excavation to final assembly, your shed will be constructed exactly as per your agreed quote.
- Plumbing Expertise: We handle all roof and wall plumbing to ground level, ensuring your shed is functional and secure.
- Final Touches: Once construction is complete, we leave your site clean and organised, removing all rubbish and debris.
From planning to delivery and beyond, All Sheds ensures every step is smooth, professional, and tailored to your needs.
Approval and Final Sign-Off
Your new shed isn’t just about looks; it’s about being legally compliant too. Here’s what you’ll need to finalise:
- Council Approval: Ensure your shed is signed off by the council or an authorised surveyor.
- Other Approvals: Some locations may require additional permits, so double check with local authorities if this will affect your new shed.
Checklist Reminder: Never start using your shed until you’ve received all the necessary approvals!
Defects Liability Period
We’re proud of the quality of our sheds, but just in case, we’ve got you covered. Here’s what you need to know:
- 3 Month Warranty Period: if there are any faults or defects, let us know within 7 days of taking possession. Regular inspections during this period are a great way to catch any issues early.
Peace of Mind: We’re here to ensure your shed is everything you dreamed it would be. Reach out to the team if you have any questions regarding the defect period.
Warranty Registration
Don’t forget to register your shed build with the manufacturer to activate your warranty. This is the owner’s responsibility and ensures you’re covered for any issues outside of the defects liability period.
Don’t skip this, it’s your key to long term peace of mind!
