Commercial & Office Buildings

Steel Frame Kits for Business, Industry & Rural Operations

Our commercial and office buildings use the same portal frame engineering as our residential range — clear-span steel structures with no internal columns, designed to Australian standards and certified for your council approval.

Steel Frame Buildings for Business

Standalone office buildings. Purpose-built offices for depots, terminals, farms, and rural operations. Permanent structures that replace temporary demountables with a real building that adds value to your site.

Workshop-office combinations. A single structure with workshop or warehouse space and integrated office areas. One roof, one slab, one build — divided however your operation requires.

Site offices and operations buildings. Permanent site offices for construction yards, logistics hubs, mining support facilities, and industrial terminals. Cyclonic-rated options for North Queensland and northern Australia.

Rural and farm offices. Administration buildings for agricultural operations, stud farms, vineyards, and rural enterprises. Steel frame construction that handles the Australian climate without maintenance issues.

Why a Steel Frame Kit — Not a Demountable, Not a Conventional Build

A conventional low-rise office building costs $2,500–$4,400 per square metre to construct (AIQS, June 2026). A 300 m² office built conventionally runs $750,000 to $1.3 million.

The same 300 m² as a steel frame kit from Shed Homes starts from around $130,000 for the structural kit. Add your fit-out — insulation, lining, electrical, plumbing, air conditioning — and you’re still looking at a fraction of conventional construction cost. And you own a permanent, engineered building on your site.

Demountables look cheap upfront, but they’re a lease. You’re paying rent for a building you’ll never own, on a structure that depreciates the moment it arrives. A steel frame kit is an asset.

From Enquiry to Building — How It Works

  1. Tell us what you need. Size, layout, use case, wind region, site address. We’ll ask the right questions to scope your project.
  2. We design and engineer your building. Custom portal frame design to suit your requirements. Fully engineered to Australian standards. Architectural and construction drawings included.
  3. We manufacture and deliver. Australian-made steel frame, COLORBOND® cladding, and all structural components. Delivered to your site.
  4. You build — or your builder does. Our kits are designed for straightforward assembly. Owner-builder or licensed builder.
  5. You fit out to your spec. Internal walls, insulation, electrical, plumbing, air conditioning, data — whatever your operation needs.

Built for Every Business

Depot & Terminal Offices

Permanent administration buildings for fuel terminals, logistics depots, and distribution centres. Engineered for industrial environments.

Construction Site Offices

Permanent site offices that replace rotating demountables. Own your building instead of leasing one.

Farm & Rural Offices

Administration buildings for agricultural operations. Steel frame handles the elements better than timber, with zero termite risk.

Workshop-Office Combos

Mechanics, fabricators, engineers — workspace and office under one roof. Configure the split however you need.

Training & Operations Rooms

Meeting rooms, training facilities, operations centres. Clear-span interiors give you the layout flexibility conventional construction can’t.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I build a commercial office from a steel frame kit?

Yes. Our steel frame kits use the same portal frame engineering used in industrial and commercial buildings across Australia. The structure is designed and certified to Australian standards. You handle the fit-out — internal walls, electrical, plumbing, air conditioning — to commercial specifications.

How much does a steel frame commercial building cost?

Kit supply starts from around $400–$900 per square metre depending on size, wind region, and design complexity. A 200 m² office kit starts from approximately $82,900. Total project cost including slab, fit-out, and services depends on your specifications and location.

Is a steel frame building a permanent structure?

Yes. Our buildings are engineered as permanent structures — not temporary, not relocatable. They are designed to the same structural standards as conventional buildings and add permanent value to your property.

Can you build cyclonic-rated commercial buildings?

Yes. We engineer buildings for all Australian wind regions, including cyclonic regions in North Queensland, the Northern Territory, and Western Australia.

What’s the difference between your kit and a demountable office?

A demountable is a temporary, modular building — usually leased, with fixed dimensions and limited customisation. Our kits are permanent, custom-designed steel frame buildings that you own. They’re engineered to your site, built on a proper slab, and configured to your exact requirements.
