Q. How long will it take to erect my building?
A. Generally it takes around an hour for small to medium sized Sheds. Larger Sheds take around two hours with the Heavy Duty Workshops taking around three hours. Times and prices to erect are based on there being able to get unloaded at your property and the Shed Base being no more than 60 meters from the unloading point. If it takes longer to erect your building because of access issues or long carries then the additional time will be charged at an hourly rate. We will endeavor to get your build erected as quickly as possible. If you have parking or distance issues you should let us know in advance.

Q. What happens if my access isn’t good enough?
A. If we are erecting for you and your access isn’t good enough we will leave the building at roadside and you will be charged for the full delivery and erect. If we have to re-visit at another time you will be charged again for the full delivery and erect.
