Planning a shed project?

Tell us what you're building and we'll help you find suitable shed companies in Brisbane.

  • Matched to builders who do your type of shed
  • Up to three builders, not a ring-around
  • You decide who to go ahead with

By submitting your enquiry, you agree that Compare Sheds may share your details with up to three suitable shed builders who may contact you about your project. See our privacy policy.

Before you compare quotes

Kit, build or design and construct?

Brisbane shed companies sell three different things. Knowing which one you're being quoted on is the easiest way to avoid comparing apples with oranges.

Kit / supply only

Engineered frame, cladding, doors and drawings delivered to site.

Your job: You organise the slab, erection, approvals and a licensed builder if the work is over $3,300.

Supply & build

The company supplies the kit and its own team or contractors build it.

Your job: Check whether the slab and approvals are in the price, and whose QBCC licence covers the build.

Design & construct (turnkey)

One company handles design, engineering, approvals, slab and construction through to handover.

Your job: Usual for commercial and industrial work. Compare inclusions line by line, not just the total.

Local considerations

Building a shed in Brisbane

Almost every substantial shed needs approval

Brisbane City Council only exempts sheds up to 10 m², 2.4 m high and 5 m on any side. Anything bigger needs building approval, usually through a private certifier. In Redland residential zones, a shed on land with no house is generally treated as a different use and needs planning assessment.

Check flood overlays first

Brisbane's City Plan has five flood planning areas, and the highest-risk area carries the toughest assessment rules. Pull a FloodWise Property Report for the lot before you settle on a shed size or floor level.

Wind region drives the steel

Coastal South East Queensland sits in wind Region B, split into B1 and B2 since the 2021 update to AS/NZS 1170.2. Ask each builder for the wind region and terrain category on the engineering, so quotes are priced on the same basis.

Compare quotes on the same inclusions

A kit price, a supply-and-build price and a turnkey price can differ by tens of thousands for the same shed. Line up the slab, footings, approvals, site prep, delivery and erection before comparing totals.

Licence check

How to check a shed builder's QBCC licence

  1. Ask for the licence number

    In Queensland, building work valued over $3,300 needs a QBCC licence. Get the number and the licensee's name in writing with your quote.

  2. Check the class covers your shed

    The 'Sheds, carports and garages' trade licence only covers Class 10a buildings up to 100 m². Bigger sheds and commercial buildings need a builder licence class, such as Builder – Low Rise or Builder – Open.

  3. Search the QBCC register

    Confirm the licence is current and matches the company on your contract.

    Open the QBCC licence search

  4. Check home warranty on residential jobs

    Residential outbuildings with a roof, like a garage or large shed, generally need QBCC Home Warranty Insurance when the work is over $3,300. Commercial work and owner-builder work aren't covered.

FAQ

Shed builders in Brisbane: common questions

How much does a large shed cost in Brisbane?

Published kit prices start around $30,000 for a 9 × 24 m farm and machinery shed and around $98,000 for a 36 × 15 m commercial shed, before the slab and erection. A Brisbane concrete slab runs about $75 to $150 per m². Commercial buildings with offices, services and external works are commonly priced at $1,000 to $1,500 per m².

Do I need council approval for a shed in Brisbane?

Usually, yes. Only very small sheds are exempt: up to 10 m² in area, 2.4 m high and no longer than 5 m on any side. Larger sheds need building approval, and some lots also need planning approval because of zoning, flood or heritage overlays.

What licence should a Brisbane shed builder hold?

Building work over $3,300 in Queensland needs a QBCC licence. The 'Sheds, carports and garages' trade licence only covers sheds up to 100 m², so larger rural, commercial and industrial sheds need a builder licence class. Check the number on the QBCC register before you sign.

What does ShedSafe accreditation mean?

ShedSafe is a third-party accreditation program run by the Australian Steel Institute. It reviews a shed company’s engineering, steel products and site specification against the National Construction Code. Where we show ShedSafe, we checked the company against the ShedSafe seller register.

What's the difference between supply only and supply and build?

Supply only means you receive an engineered kit and arrange the slab, erection and approvals yourself. Supply and build adds construction. Design and construct means one company runs everything from design to handover, which is normal for commercial work.

How did you choose these builders?

We searched for shed companies across Greater Brisbane, found 45, and removed garden shed retailers, online kit sellers, network head-office pages and businesses with no local presence. The 8 listed are genuine local operators with published evidence of the shed work they do. Google ratings don't decide who is listed.

Do builders pay to be listed?

No. Nobody on this page has paid to be listed or to be placed. If we add paid placements later they will be clearly labelled as sponsored and won't change the editorial order.
