Custom sheds for Casey blocks that don’t fit a brochure.

Eight reasons we go custom every week.

• Non-standard dimensions — access width forces a 5.4m or 7.2m span instead of a brochure 6m or 9m
• Block constraint — setback or easement forces an asymmetric or angled footprint
• Mixed-use building — garage + workshop + storeroom + office under one roof, each with different ceiling height
• Stable / livestock fit-out — integrated stalls, tack room, feed bays inside the steel shell
• Sea-container hybrid — two containers as side walls, portal-frame roof spanning between them
• Skillion roof preference — modern look, solar PV optimisation, neighbouring building amenity
• Two-storey enthusiast shed — ground floor workshop, mezzanine floor as office / studio
• Premium aesthetic — non-Colorbond cladding (timber-look sheeting, board-and-batten profile), feature window joinery, cathedral skylights

Roof pitch and profile choices.

• 5° skillion — minimum legal pitch for Colorbond. Sleek modern look. Solar optimised.
• 10–12° low-pitch gable — standard farm shed and workshop. Cheapest. Good drainage.
• 15° mid-pitch gable — traditional barn feel. Better internal headroom mid-span.
• 22° steep-pitch gable — deliberately barn-style or to match a heritage home roof line. Higher cost (more steel, more cladding).
• Cathedral skylight — clear polycarbonate ridge cap insert, daylight without retrofit. ~$2K–$4K extra per skylight.

Cladding options beyond standard Colorbond.

• Standard Colorbond Ultra (22 colours, 25-year roof / 15-year wall warranty)
• Colorbond Matt (low-sheen finish, suits acreage and farming-zone aesthetic)
• Timber-look profile sheeting (printed Colorbond, looks like vertical timber from 5m away)
• Board-and-batten profile (vertical-corrugation, modern farmhouse aesthetic)
• Mixed cladding (Colorbond above, board-and-batten below, or feature stone-clad wing)
• Window joinery integrated (full-height aluminium-framed windows in side walls for studio / office sheds)

Custom-design process.

1. Measure-up (free, 60–90 min): Site, access, soil, intended use, dream list.
2. Concept sketches (1 week): 2–3 layout options with rough pricing.
3. Design refinement + fixed quote (2–3 weeks): Full drawings, written quote, BlueScope spec sheet, inclusion list.
4. Engineering + permit (3–6 weeks): AS 1170 wind-load certificate, City of Casey building permit, planning permit if needed.
5. Build (2–8 weeks): Slab, steel, sheeting, doors, services, handover.

Custom adds time, not chaos.

A custom build typically adds 2–3 weeks vs an off-the-shelf brochure size, mostly in the permit phase — surveyors take a closer look at non-standard. Compared with the years you’ll own the building, it’s a fair trade.
