What affects the price
— Size. Floor area drives the kit, slab and labour costs almost linearly.
— Concrete slab. An engineered slab is often 25–35% of the total — an existing slab saves thousands.
— Steel grade & wind rating. Cyclonic and high-wind regions need heavier engineering that raises the kit price.
— Doors & inclusions. Extra roller doors, windows, skylights, insulation and lining all add to the base kit.
— Approvals & site. Council or certifier approval, sloping sites and tight access add cost before the shed even arrives.
Tips before you post
— Most sheds beyond a small garden size need building approval — factor the certifier's fee and lead time in.
— Get the slab and shed quoted together so no one can blame the other trade if something doesn't line up.
— Insulating the roof at build time is cheap; retrofitting it later is not.
