FAQs | All Steel Buildings

1. How Long Has All Steel Buildings Been In Business?

 All Steel Buildings have been in business since 2000 and have built more that 500 sheds from small garages through to large commercial buildings.

2. What Size Shed Can I Build?

Any size you want! With our modern “Multibuild” software we design your shed to any size you want. Your order goes electronically to the factory where the components are cut to size.

3. Can I Change The Way My Shed Looks?

Of course. There are different claddings, roof angles, and a variety of doors and windows available. Colorsteel has 24 different colours, or you can choose unpainted “Zincalume”.

4. How Long Will It Take To Build?

Once you have your “Building Consent” from the local Council we can soon start on your floor (weather permitting) and shortly after that on your shed. You will be amazed how quickly the steel portals and walls are erected. Our expert local builders have the experience and knowledge to build you a shed to be proud of.

5. How Do I Obtain My Building Consent From The Council?

We normally obtain the Consent for you. The “Multibuild” software prints all the drawings, plans, and technical information the Council needs. All you supply are the details of your legal Title, and we meet with you on site to prepare a site plan. Our shed designs meet all the requirements of the Building Code.

6. What Will My Shed Look Like, And What Is It Built From?

Our “Multibuild” Software prepares a layout plan for you showing how your shed looks, with doors and features, and a Specification sheet showing all the material sizes, bracing, and Engineer approved technical data. We use 40 gauge steel cladding to both roof and walls and 55 gauge if you prefer it. You can have a schedule of every component! It is all free of charge with your quote.

7. Do We Lay The Floor Too?

Yes we normally prepare and lay the concrete footings and floor. We us 20MPa concrete for strength and finish, polythene underneath, steel mesh, steel rod in the footings and construction cuts to minimize cracking to the floor. 

8. Can I Buy A Kitset?

Of course. We are happy to provide you with a kit – they are straightforward to erect with our plans, manual, dvd, and our advice. Delivery takes about 4 weeks,  everything is included in the kitset.

9. Will My Shed Withstand Hawkes’s Bays Strong Wind?

Our “Multibuild” software calculates all the necessary Engineering. Our design covers winds up to 55 m/second and meets Council requirements for all of Hawke’s Bay. Our sheds are strong and durable!

10. Can I Have A Sleep-Out Or Live In Part Of My Shed?

Certainly! We will install Building paper and thermal break materials in the walls and roof as we construct the shed. You can then line the shed later and we can advise on the most suitable material and methods to comply with Council rules.

11. What Will My Shed Cost?

Our sheds are reasonably priced and the software calculates the price exactly on the materials needed and no more. We will provide an estimate at no charge and a full quote after meeting you on site. Call at our office and we will demonstrate the software, design your shed, and you can see the price on screen.

12. Why Should I Choose An “All Steel Buildings” Shed?

Quite simply for the quality. You may pay a little extra but look what you get – the strongest steel shed, quality roller doors, aluminium opening windows, the best fittings, clear roof span up to 35 metres wide, heights over 6m, and a shed tailored to your needs, not a “off the shelf” standard model.
