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.
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.
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.
Permanent administration buildings for fuel terminals, logistics depots, and distribution centres. Engineered for industrial environments.
Permanent site offices that replace rotating demountables. Own your building instead of leasing one.
Administration buildings for agricultural operations. Steel frame handles the elements better than timber, with zero termite risk.
Mechanics, fabricators, engineers — workspace and office under one roof. Configure the split however you need.
Meeting rooms, training facilities, operations centres. Clear-span interiors give you the layout flexibility conventional construction can’t.

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