Professional Shed Structural Design Across Melbourne



Our shed structural design services can help your project meet all regulatory requirements while maximising functionality:

  • Site-specific shed design that considers local weather and soil conditions

  • Industrial warehouse and storage facility designs

  • Agricultural shed and barn structures

  • Residential garage and workshop designs

  • Structural assessments for existing sheds

  • Building permit documentation and approvals

  • Construction support

Each design incorporates optimal material selection so your structure can withstand Melbourne's varied climate conditions effectively.



When designing a shed, several critical factors will influence the final structure:

  • Load Requirements: Understanding dead loads (structure weight), live loads (stored items), and environmental loads (wind, snow)

  • Foundation Design: Proper footing systems based on soil conditions and shed size

  • Portal Frame Systems: Efficient structural systems for clear-span requirements

  • Bracing and Connections: Strengthening stability through appropriate lateral support

  • Material Selection: Choosing between steel, timber, masonry, or a hybrid construction based on use and budget

Our team analyses these factors to create quality sheds that perform reliably for decades. We consider your intended use, whether for vehicle storage, workshops, or agricultural purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Shed Design

  • The way you intend to use your shed will significantly impact its design. Storage sheds require different load capacities than workshops with heavy machinery. Agricultural sheds need ventilation considerations, while vehicle storage demands specific clearances. Our team will analyse your requirements to optimise the structure accordingly.

  • We create documentation using Computer-Aided-Design (CAD) software, governed by engineering analysis packages. This includes structural drawings, specifications, and calculations that comply with current Australian standards.

  • Absolutely. Our engineers specialise in adapting shed designs for sloping blocks, areas with poor soil conditions, or sites with access restrictions. We develop innovative solutions that overcome site challenges while maintaining structural integrity and cost-effectiveness.

  • We work with a wide range of clients for shed design, including large construction companies, project managers, residential and industrial builders, designers and architects. No matter where or why you need a shed designed, we can help.

  • We can help create more than just sheds! We have experience in designing other types of outdoor structures, including carports, decks, patios, verandahs, and gazebos. We’ll make sure your structure is the perfect size and shape for your needs.
