Planning a shed project?

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

  • 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 Rockhampton

The small-shed exemption may not apply here

Queensland's Building Regulation exempts sheds up to 10 m², 2.4 m high and 5 m on any side, but not for work in wind Region C, the tropical cyclone area. Rockhampton and the Capricorn Coast are generally treated as cyclonic, so assume any shed needs building approval until a certifier, Rockhampton Regional Council or Livingstone Shire Council confirms otherwise.

Confirm the wind region for your lot

Severe Tropical Cyclone Marcia crossed the coast north of Yeppoon as a category 5 system in February 2015 and caused structural damage around Yeppoon, the Capricorn Coast and Rockhampton. Wind regions are set by distance from the coast, so inland sites such as Biloela may differ. Ask each builder for the wind region and terrain category on the engineering, so quotes are priced on the same basis.

Check flood overlays first

The Fitzroy River drains a 143,000 km² catchment. The Rockhampton Region Planning Scheme has flood hazard and local catchment flood overlays, and council can do a property flood search. Check the overlay before you settle on a shed position or floor level.

Coastal and bushfire overlays in Livingstone

The Livingstone Planning Scheme 2018 covers Yeppoon and Emu Park and includes coastal hazard, flood hazard and bushfire hazard overlay codes. Look up the lot on the council's interactive mapping tool before ordering steel.

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 Rockhampton: common questions

How much does a large shed cost in Rockhampton?

We found no published Rockhampton shed prices, so these figures are national or Queensland-wide. 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. Commercial buildings with offices, services and external works are indicatively priced at $1,000 to $1,500 per m².

Do I need council approval for a shed in Rockhampton or Yeppoon?

Almost always. Queensland's small-shed exemption (10 m², 2.4 m high, 5 m on any side) does not apply to work in wind Region C, the tropical cyclone area, which generally takes in Rockhampton and the coast. You can lodge a building application with Rockhampton Regional Council or Livingstone Shire Council, or use a private certifier. Flood, coastal or bushfire overlays can add planning requirements.

What licence should a Rockhampton 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. Some local stores sell kits only, so check the licence of whoever will actually build the shed.

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 as checked, the company 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. In Central Queensland, some network stores supply kits only and refer you to an independent builder.

How did you choose these builders?

We searched for shed companies across Rockhampton, the Capricorn Coast, Gladstone and Biloela, found 47, and removed garden shed retailers, online kit sellers, network pages with no local operator and businesses we couldn't verify. 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.
