Shed assembly.
Done proper.

Costs scale with the shed size, material, and complexity. A small garden shed (under 4m²) sits at the lower end. Standard family-sized garden sheds (4 to 9m², single door, no windows) are mid-band. Larger sheds (over 10m², double doors, multiple windows, lean-to extensions), garage-sized utility sheds, and timber sheds with custom cladding sit at the top. We send fixed quotes based on the specific shed you're building. Send a product link and we'll send a price that holds. Larger shed builds may include a second builder; the build can be too long and too heavy for one person.

Most kitset sheds sold in New Zealand. Garden sheds (the standard backyard storage type), larger utility and workshop sheds, garage-sized sheds, timber sheds with weatherboard or plywood cladding, steel kitset sheds (the dominant NZ format), plastic resin sheds (Keter and similar), and smaller mini-sheds for tools or bikes. Brand-wise: Spanbilt, Duratuf, Kiwispan, Stratco, Pinehaven, Absco, Garden Master, Keter, and most NZ kitset shed retailers. If your shed is from somewhere not listed, send a link.

Yes. Garden sheds and kitset sheds (the same thing, by different names) are a frequent outdoor assembly need. The work follows the manufacturer's manual page by page: lay out and check the parts against the manifest, build the wall panels flat before raising them, brace the walls square, build the roof, fit doors and windows, and anchor the shed to your base. A typical garden shed assembly takes 4 to 8 hours depending on size and complexity.

Yes. We assemble all the major shed brands sold in New Zealand including Spanbilt, Duratuf, Stratco, Kiwispan, Pinehaven, Absco, Garden Master, and Keter. Each brand has its own assembly quirks (Duratuf uses heavier-gauge steel and more bolted fittings; Absco uses snap-together panels; Spanbilt and Stratco rely heavily on Tek screws into the frame) but the underlying principle is the same. We work from the manual the brand supplies.

Yes, and this is the most important question to settle before booking. We assemble the shed, but we don't prepare the base. Sheds need to sit on a flat, level base, which can be a concrete pad, a paver base, a treated-timber floor frame, or a compacted gravel base depending on the shed and your preference. Base prep needs to be done before assembly day. Concrete pads need time to cure, paver bases need to be screeded and levelled, timber frames need to be in place. If you're unsure what base type is right for your shed, the manufacturer's manual usually specifies. If you need someone to do the base work, you'll need a separate trade (a concreter, landscaper, or builder).

Yes. Anchoring the shed to its base is part of shed assembly where the kitset includes the manufacturer's anchor system. Most kitset sheds come with their own anchor brackets and fixings designed for the base type the manufacturer recommends, and we fix the shed to your base using the manufacturer's system. Auckland's westerlies can lift a poorly anchored steel shed, so this isn't an optional step. If your base is concrete and your kitset's anchors are designed for it, we use those. If you have a timber floor frame, the shed bolts through to that.

Many garden sheds in New Zealand don't require a council consent because they sit under the exempt-building thresholds for floor area and use. Larger sheds and some specific configurations may need a building consent from Auckland Council. We don't handle the consent process for you. If your shed needs a permit, that's between you and the council; we'll assemble it once the paperwork is sorted.

Depends on the shed. A small garden shed (under 4m²) is usually 3 to 4 hours. A standard 6 to 9m² garden shed is 4 to 6 hours. Larger sheds with double doors, multiple windows, or lean-to extensions run 6 to 10 hours, sometimes a full day with two builders. Timber sheds with weatherboard cladding can take longer because of the cladding step.

Yes, sheds can be disassembled and reassembled, though it's more involved than indoor furniture. Steel kitset sheds disassemble in reverse order with the same screws and brackets they were assembled with; the panels stack flat for transport. Timber sheds are harder, since the cladding often gets damaged in disassembly. We disassemble in reverse order, label the panels and fittings, and protect what we can for transit. At the new address, the same caveat applies as a new build: the base needs to be ready before we rebuild.

We pause, document what's wrong, and help you raise a parts request with the retailer. Shed kitsets routinely ship with a small surplus of fittings (extra bolts, screws, brackets) but if a structural panel is missing or damaged, the build stops until the replacement is in hand. We'll finish whatever we safely can in the meantime and come back at no charge to complete the job once parts arrive.

All of Auckland. North Shore, Central, East, West, South, Manukau, Howick, Pakuranga, Albany, the Hibiscus Coast, and the rural fringes. Out-of-city jobs are quoted with a small travel allowance. If you're outside our usual range, ask anyway.

Same-day shed assembly is unlikely. Sheds are full-day builds and often need to be scheduled ahead. Lead times can stretch longer in summer (shed-buying season) and shorten through winter. Weather affects the schedule too: we don't build sheds in heavy rain or strong wind. If we have to reschedule for weather, we'll do it as early as possible and rebook quickly.
