Planning a shed project?

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

  • 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 Toowoomba

Farm sheds far from boundaries can be exempt

Toowoomba Regional Council only exempts general sheds under 10 m², no more than 2.4 m high and no longer than 5 m on any side. Class 10 farm buildings such as hay sheds, barns and stables on agricultural, horticultural or pastoral land are exempt from building approval if no part of the building is within 200 m of a road or land boundary. Lockyer Valley Regional Council applies a similar 200 m test to small Class 10 farm buildings.

Check flood risk before setting floor levels

Toowoomba's Flood Hazard Overlay Code sorts land into four flood risk categories. In low-risk areas floors must sit at least 300 mm above the defined flood event, in medium-risk areas at least 500 mm, and generally no new buildings are allowed in high and extreme risk areas. Council's flood risk portal shows the category for a lot.

Other overlays that can catch a shed

The Toowoomba Region planning scheme also has bushfire, landslide, agricultural land and scenic amenity overlays. An airport environs overlay protects Toowoomba Airport and the Oakey Army Aviation Centre, and sets maximum building heights in mapped areas around the Oakey base. Check the planning scheme maps for the lot early.

Ask for the wind region and terrain on the engineering

Wind loads vary a lot between a sheltered valley and an open ridge or plain, and open-fronted machinery sheds let wind in under the roof, which the engineering has to allow for. Ask each builder for the wind region and terrain category on the engineering so quotes are priced on the same basis.

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 Toowoomba: common questions

How much does a large shed cost in Toowoomba?

We didn't find published Toowoomba-specific shed prices. National 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 national pricing guide puts commercial buildings with offices, services and external works at about $1,000 to $1,500 per m².

Do I need council approval for a shed in Toowoomba?

Usually, yes. Toowoomba Regional Council only exempts sheds under 10 m², no more than 2.4 m high and no longer than 5 m on any side. A Class 10 farm building on agricultural or pastoral land can be exempt from building approval if no part of it is within 200 m of a road or land boundary. Flood, bushfire and other overlays can add planning requirements.

What about sheds in the Lockyer Valley?

Lockyer Valley Regional Council uses the same small-shed exemption: no more than 10 m², 5 m on any side and 2.4 m high. Small Class 10 farm buildings more than 200 m from roads and boundaries can also be exempt. Anything else needs building approval.

What licence should a Toowoomba 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. We couldn't confirm any company on this page against the ShedSafe seller register for this review, so none are marked.

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 Toowoomba, the Darling Downs and the Lockyer Valley, found 44, and removed garden shed retailers, online kit sellers, network pages with no local operator and businesses we couldn't check. The 8 listed are genuine local operators with published evidence of the shed work they do. Google ratings don't decide who is listed. Nobody has paid to be listed or placed, and any future paid placements will be labelled as sponsored.
