Why Build A Steel Garage Or Shed?

When people decide they need the extra space, there are many reasons why.

Our flexible B&G Sheds designs are easily customised to suit your exact needs. Pick the shape, length, width and height that suits you. Pick from a range of door options. Choose a wall and roof cladding profile to match your architectural style and then select from more than 20 available Colorbond colours. Add personal access doors, windows, sliding glass doors, verandahs and other inclusions to suit your needs.

You are only limited by your imagination.

All of our buildings are built from non-corrosive high tensile galvanized steel framework with Zincalume or Colorbond wall cladding and roofing to ensure that your steel garage is made to last.
New designs, colours and profiles make the modern steel garage a stylish alternative to traditional garages.
Our B&G Sheds building range use exclusively Australian made Bluescope Colorbond and Zincalume steel. They are guaranteed to be low-maintenance: You will never have to repaint your steel garage.
These are just some of the more obvious reasons for choosing a steel garage. If you expand the definition of "garage" beyond that of simply being a place to park your car, you'll find even more reasons to choose a steel garage. For example, many garages do double or triple time as storage rooms and/or workshops. A typical garage can become filled with so many tools, equipment, bicycles, surfboards and bric-a-brac, there's little or no room left to work or even park the car. The simple and inexpensive solution to problems like these is a steel garage:

A garage is not just a place to park your car. They get used for all sorts of applications:

Workshops –add a few extra windows and a skylight.
Storage areas – for tools, equipment, bicycles, surfboards and all your favourite stuff!
a “Man Cave” with beer fridge, couches and TV.
a play area for billiards or ping pong
a gym with lots of space.
a spacious home office **
line the interior and you have a an extra room for guests. **

** beware that there can be are both planning and building issues when using a Class a Garage as a residential or commercial space.

Do you supply kit only or fully installed?

We supply a wide variety of buildings in kit form for the owner builder or total building solutions, complete with all permits, delivery, installation labor and concrete floors. Many of our customers will do some of the project themselves. Some will buy a kit but have us obtain the permits; others will have us install their building but do their own concrete works. We are totally flexible!

What are the standard sizes? Do you do non-standard sizes?

Our exclusive computerized design package gives us increased accuracy and flexibility of design, so we are able to manufacture buildings of any length, width or height -not just the common sizes.

Common Lengths

3.0 Mt Bays6.0, 9.0, 12.0, 15.0, 18.0, 21.0, 24.0, 30.0

Common Heights

How long does the project take?

Most buildings with a standard building permit take 6-8 weeks from when all information is received. If other permits are required, then expect further delays (build over easement permits 8-10 weeks , town planning permits 8-10 weeks, dispensation or council consent 4-6 weeks)

Do you do extensions and alterations?

Yes, but only to buildings previously supplied by B&G Sheds.

How do I prepare the site for the building works?

All works are quoted assuming a clear and level site. Level is considered to be within 75mm from the highest to the lowest point. It there is a fall the site may need to be filled, cut and filled or excavated. If you have a fall, advise the sales team so that the concreter can arrange to inspect the site prior to construction.

The working area around the building required by the builder for easy use of ladders is 1.2 Mt beyond each wall of the building. When a building is being built adjacent to a boundary, the walls adjacent to the fence will be prefabricated on the ground and tilted into position. This method is available for buildings up to 3.0 Mt high.

To prepare the site for a builder please mow any grassed area, and clear all above ground debris including animal droppings. Please have all animals suitably restrained from the working area. Be sure that there are no overhanging trees interfering with the working area and/or trim trees so that they are a minimum of 1.0 Mt away from the walls and roof of the building. To enable clear access for builders and concrete trucks, please ensure the driveway is clear of all vehicles.

Payment terms?

To provide quality at the most competitive price we operate on strict credit terms. This is critical to our competitive pricing policy. The next stage of work will not proceed until the payment has been made.

A deposit of approximately 30% of the kit is required at the time of placing the order. A contract is not valid until the deposit has been paid. In the case of Government departments, a purchase order may be accepted by arrangement with the management. The Contract price is not fixed until all permits are approved, and the material can be ordered.

Upon the completion of the concrete floor, please contact our office and arrange to pay the amount due. Cheques are to be made out to Professional Shed Builders.

Payment for the materials (the kit) must be made prior to delivery to the site. Payments can be made by Cash, Cheque, or Credit Card or by transfer into our bank accounts. Our account details are as follows:

B&G Sheds

Commonwealth Bank of Australia
BSB 063120 Account 10311104

Professional Shed Builders

Commonwealth Bank of Australia
BSB 063120 Account 10311120

Upon completion of the erection work, the builder is to receive either cash or Bank Cheque for the erection work. The Bank Cheque is to be made out to the Building Contractor. The Building Contractor will provide an invoice when he arrives on site. The Building Contractors do not offer credit card facilities.

All work is paid for as each stage is completed, protecting both parties as equitably as possible.

What do I need to get started?

To start with we prepare a contract. You will need to be sure of your shed features and select colours. Once that is done you sign the contract and pay the required deposit. To apply for permits on your behalf we will need the following information:

A Site plan showing your house position and the proposed shed location.
Show on the site plan any houses on adjoining properties.
Plan of Subdivision
Copy of Title in the owner's name
Copy of any Covenants
Copy of any Agreements (eg: Sect 173 Agreements)

In most cases we have included a fee for Documents Search in which we obtain all of the above documents from the Titles Office and various websites.

Do you have displays on site?

Our display yard is located at 20 Wallace Ave, Point Cook. The new display yard features single and double car garages, farm sheds, a raised roof barn and our carport / verandah system. Our operating hours are Monday to Friday 9.00am to 5.00pm and Saturday 9.00am to 1.00pm.

What is the Factory Finish?

The B&G Sheds standard building is finished according to the engineering requirements using materials superior to similar competitors. However the preferred finish for larger buildings is the "Factory Finish". It features Trimdek 0.47mm wall cladding, which is a stronger and more attractive profile, your choice of Corrugated or Trimdek roofing profiles and 150x100 flashings to all corners. For buildings 3.0 Mt high and above or 7.5 Mt span or wider, it is our opinion the Factory Finish is a must.

Do you use BHP steel?

B&G Sheds are committed to providing the highest standards of service and product quality. We use the best Australian made materials available. All steel framing, wall cladding and roofing materials are supplied by BHP Building Products, incorporating the proven Lysaght's range. The rolladoors are supplied by B&D Doors. Our garages and farm sheds are available in either Zincalume or Colorbond. They can be all Zincalume, all Colorbond or Colorbond walls doors and trims with a Zincalume roof. Customers are able to choose from the full range of 22 BHP colours and can choose contrasting colours for the doors, gutters and downpipes as required at no extra cost.
