Planning a shed project?

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

  • 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 Gold Coast

Almost every substantial shed needs approval

City of Gold Coast only exempts one small shed per site, under 10 m², 2.4 m high (2.1 m mean height) and 5 m long. Every other shed needs building approval through a private certifier. City Plan setbacks are usually 6 m at the front and 1.5 m at the side, and a shed that is large or tall for the block may also need an amenity and aesthetics approval.

Check flood and bushfire overlays early

Much of the coast is low-lying floodplain, and council uses a 0.5% annual chance flood with a margin of usually 30 to 50 cm to set floor levels. Lots in council's bushfire hazard overlay can need extra assessment under the City Plan and the Building Regulation. Check the Gold Coast flood maps and City Plan overlays, or the Scenic Rim flood maps, before you fix a shed size or floor level.

Wind region and salt both affect the steel

Coastal South East Queensland, including the Gold Coast, sits in wind Region B. Ask each builder for the wind region and terrain category on the engineering. Near the beach, check cladding warranties too: some BlueScope warranties only apply more than 1 km from a marine environment.

Yatala is the main industrial area

The Yatala Enterprise Area is the Gold Coast's largest industrial area, and council is investigating an expansion towards Stapylton. Planning, access, services and flood conditions vary from site to site, so get these checked before comparing warehouse quotes.

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 Gold Coast: common questions

How much does a large shed cost on the Gold Coast?

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. One builder's Gold Coast warehouse page gives $650 to $1,600 per m² for the building shell. One national builder's pricing guide puts a Colorbond commercial shed with office, services and external works at $1,000 to $1,500 per m².

Do I need council approval for a shed on the Gold Coast or in the Scenic Rim?

Usually, yes. City of Gold Coast only exempts one small shed per site, under 10 m², 2.4 m high and 5 m long. Anything bigger needs building approval through a private certifier, and may need a setback or amenity approval too. In the Scenic Rim, check the requirements with Scenic Rim Regional Council or a private certifier before you order.

What licence should a Gold Coast 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. Several companies here supply kits and use a separate builder, so check whose licence is on your contract and search it on the QBCC register.

What does ShedSafe accreditation mean?

ShedSafe is a third-party accreditation program run by the Australian Steel Institute. It reviews the engineering, steel products and site specification of the steel shed you are buying. Every company listed on this page appears on 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 the Gold Coast, the hinterland and the Scenic Rim, found 39, and removed garden shed retailers, online kit sellers, network head-office pages, businesses with no local presence and general builders with no steel shed work. The 7 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.
