What Affects the Cost of a Shed?

From structural features to site location, these are the top variables that influence shed pricing:

  • Shed size & span: Larger and wider sheds generally cost more.
  • Roof type & pitch: Simple gable roofs are more cost-effective than custom rooflines.
  • Enclosed walls & doors: The more enclosed walls and custom doors you choose, the higher the cost.
  • Site location & accessibility: Remote or difficult-to-access sites may add to the total project cost.
  • Custom features: Mezzanines, internal walls, insulation, and ventilation systems can all be added at a cost.
  • Concrete & installation costs: Foundation work and construction labour can significantly affect your final spend.

What You Can Expect to Pay

While every shed is different and pricing can vary depending on design complexity, level of enclosure, site conditions, and other factors, square metre pricing can offer a reliable starting point to help guide your early budgeting.
