1. What thickness is the roof and wall iron? Many kit sheds use .33mm iron with shallow ribs to stretch further. It dents, flexes and ages faster. Our answer: .42mm BlueScope Trimdek or corrugated, standard.2. Are the connection plates welded on, or loose in a bag? Loose plates and a bag of bolts mean days more erection time and joints that rely on whoever assembled them. Our answer: fully welded base, haunch and apex plates, painted in zinc-rich cold gal.3. Does the vermin sealing keep the BlueScope warranty? Most vermin seals on the market void the iron warranty. Ask for it in writing. Our answer: the only vermin proofing that meets BlueScope's warranty spec, standard on every shed.4. Are you a licensed builder? What is the licence number? A kit seller is not a builder. If something goes wrong, the licence is your protection. Our answer: SA Builder's Licence 187 388.5. Who engineers the shed, and is it certified for my site's wind rating? A shed engineered for the wrong wind region is a liability, not a bargain. Our answer: independently certified engineering for your specific site.6. Who handles council approvals, and what do they cost? Planning, building and development approvals can take months. Someone has to own them. Our answer: we prepare, lodge and chase all of it for you.7. Is the concrete slab included, and who guarantees it is level? A poor slab means a shorter-lived shed and corroded walls. Edges matter most. Our answer: our own concrete crews pour it level to the edges, before the shed goes up.8. What exactly does the price include? Flashings, gutters, doors, delivery, erection. The cheapest quote usually excludes the most. Our answer: an itemised quote with nothing hiding in the fine print.9. What is the realistic timeframe, deposit to done? Anyone quoting a few weeks has not included council. Get honest numbers up front. Our answer: typically 6 to 8 months for solid steel, 8 to 10 for C-section, in writing.10. Where can I see one of your sheds standing? Ten-year-old sheds tell the truth. Any builder proud of their work can show you real builds. Our answer: our shed gallery lists real builds with towns and sizes, and our sheds are standing all over the district.
