Shed Homes Tasmania (TAS)
A permanent, council approved home on your own Tasmanian block, delivered as one package. We supply across the whole state, Hobart and the Channel, Launceston and the Tamar, Devonport, Burnie and the North West Coast, the Huon Valley and the East Coast. Seven designs, each one engineered for your site, for cold wet winters and westerly wind, on a frame that will not rot or feed termites in that climate. Seven Class 1A designs from $82,900, and the price list is on this page.
Why Build a Shed Home in Tasmania?
Tasmania has become one of Australia’s most desirable tree change and lifestyle destinations. Land you can still afford, clean air, and real communities within an easy run of Hobart or Launceston. The Huon Valley, the Tamar, the East Coast, the Central Highlands and the country behind Devonport and Burnie all draw mainland buyers who want a different kind of life, and plenty of Tasmanians moving out of town onto a few acres.
A shed home suits Tasmanian conditions because steel portal frame construction handles the state’s cold, wet winters and high wind exposure without compromise. No timber to rot in Tasmania’s damp conditions, no termite risk, and a steel frame that handles everything from frost to wild westerly winds. Our kits are engineered for your specific site, including Tasmania’s demanding NatHERS energy requirements for cold climate zones.
Whether you are a mainland buyer planning your Tasmanian dream, a local farmer building a new home, or an owner-builder who wants a fully engineered Class 1A kit, our shed homes give you a permanently livable, council-approved home at a fraction of conventional Tasmanian building costs.

Climate and Engineering for Tasmania
Tasmania has cool to cold conditions across most of the state, with heavy rainfall on the west coast and high wind exposure in elevated and coastal areas. Our shed homes are engineered for every Tasmanian condition:
Wind Rating
Engineered for Tasmanian wind regions N2 through N4. Tasmania’s exposure to the Roaring Forties means high wind ratings are common, especially on the west coast and elevated sites.
Cold Climate Performance
Tasmania has Australia’s most demanding cold climate NatHERS zones. The Complete Kit includes 7-star energy certification with high-performance insulation and glazing to keep your home warm through long Tasmanian winters.
Bushfire Resistance
Steel framing provides inherent bushfire resistance. We design to BAL 12.5 through BAL 40, with BAL FZ on application. Tasmania has significant bushfire-prone areas, especially in the Huon Valley and east coast.
Moisture Resistant
Steel frame construction does not absorb moisture, rot, or warp. In Tasmania’s high-rainfall areas, this is a critical advantage over timber framing, which can suffer from ongoing moisture damage.
We Deliver to These Tasmania Regions
We deliver to every corner of Tasmania. Hobart, Kingston and Sorell, Launceston and the Tamar Valley, Devonport, Burnie and the North West Coast, the Huon Valley, the East Coast and the Central Highlands. Your home arrives on a single truck, straight to your site.
Shed House Costs in Tasmania
The cost of a shed home in Tasmania depends on your design, site conditions, and how much of the build you take on yourself. Here is a realistic breakdown:
| Package | What You Get | Price Range |
|---|---|---|
| Base Kit | Structural steel frame, roofing, cladding and engineering, delivered to site | $82,900 to $218,900 |
| Complete Kit Supply | Everything in the base kit plus windows, insulation, full architectural and construction drawings, engineering and NatHERS certificate, as one package | $105,000 to $250,000 |
| Kit plus Lockup | Kit erected on your slab, roof and walls on, windows in, weatherproof shell | $210,000 to $500,000 |
| Owner-Builder Complete | Finished home with you managing the trades, or with a licensed builder running them | $315,000 to $990,000 |
Prices vary by model, site conditions, and specification. See our full pricing guide for detailed breakdowns.
Tasmania Price List, Rate Per Square Metre
If you are working out a budget before you settle on a design, use the rate per square metre. Multiply it by the floor area you have in mind and you will land close enough to plan around. These are supply rates for the home package, delivered, and they apply the same in Hobart as they do in Burnie.
| Style of shed home | Base kit | Complete kit supply |
|---|---|---|
| Single level barn style | $340 to $420 /m² | $430 to $530 /m² |
| Single level with a workshop or breezeway wing | $380 to $400 /m² | $440 to $460 /m² |
| Two storey | $380 to $440 /m² | $470 to $530 /m² |
How to use these rates. Measure the total floor area under the roof, including verandas, then multiply by the rate for the style you like. Our own models work out between these numbers, so use our measurements as a guide: a 198m² barn style, a 280m² barn style with big verandas, or a 292m² two storey. Base kit is the structural shell and engineering. Complete kit supply adds windows, insulation, drawings and NatHERS. Internal lining and fit out are never part of a kit.
These are a guide, not a quote. Your real number depends on your block, your wind region, bushfire rating and what your council asks for, which is why we price against a full site address. Send us the address and a pin and you get a real figure instead of a rate.
For the price of each of the seven designs, model by model, see the plans and price list. Nothing on this page is a quote. A quote needs your address so we can engineer to your wind speed and soil, and it is the only number we commit to.
Building Approvals in Tasmania
Building and Planning Permit
In Tasmania, most shed homes require both a Planning Permit and a Building Permit from your local council. Some sites may qualify for a Permitted pathway (no discretionary planning assessment needed). Our Complete Kit includes full architectural drawings, engineered drawings, and NatHERS certification, everything your building surveyor and council need.
Owner-Builders in Tasmania
Tasmania allows owner-builders with an Owner Builder Permit from CBOS, limited to two owner built homes in ten years. Our Base Kit and Kit Supply packages are designed for owner-builders, every component is identified in our interactive 3D model, searchable by part number down to every screw and bolt. Learn more about owner-building.
Tree Change Living in Tasmania
Tasmania’s appeal as a tree change destination has surged. The Huon Valley, Tamar Valley, East Coast, and Derwent Valley offer affordable rural land, vibrant food and wine culture, and a pace of life that mainland cities cannot match.
A shed home suits Tasmanian lifestyle blocks because it is designed for rural sites from the ground up. Deep verandas for outdoor living, wide open-plan interiors, and a steel frame rated for your specific wind zone and cold climate energy requirements. Class 1A classification means full bank finance, insurance, and resale value, the same as any conventional home.
