Steel Frame Kits for Home Office, Salon & Studio
The backyard office market is full of small pods and flat-pack cabins. They look good on Instagram. But here’s what you’re actually getting:
A $12,000 pod gives you 10 m² of space. Our Noosa kit starts from $82,900 and gives you 198 m² — that’s nearly 20 times the space for roughly 7 times the price. And it adds permanent value to your property.
Our steel frame kits are designed for residential living — but a home business building uses exactly the same structure. Same engineering, same COLORBOND® cladding, same portal frame. You just fit it out differently.
Working from home is permanent for millions of Australians. A dedicated home office building gives you a proper workspace with a proper door between work and home.
Plumbing for wash basins, styling stations, a waiting area, and a separate entrance — all properly built and council-approved.
Psychologists, physios, accountants — any home-based practice that sees clients needs a professional space with soundproofing and a separate entrance.
Personal trainers, yoga instructors, or anyone who wants a proper home gym. Clear-span steel means no columns, high ceilings, and room for equipment.
Artists, woodworkers, ceramicists, mechanics. High ceilings, good ventilation, large doors, and the space to spread out.
Drainage, washable floors, ventilation, a separate entrance for clients. A purpose-built space is the difference between a hobby and a business.
The biggest reason to build a separate structure isn’t the space — it’s the boundary. Your clients don’t walk through your living room. Your kids don’t interrupt your Zoom calls. Your salon isn’t in your bathroom. Your gym isn’t in your garage.
A separate building means your business is professional and your home stays private.
| Solo home office | 15–40 m² |
| Office + meeting room | 30–80 m² |
| Home salon (1–2 chairs) | 25–60 m² |
| Home salon (3+ chairs + waiting) | 50–120 m² |
| Therapy / consulting room | 20–50 m² |
| Home gym / PT studio | 40–100 m² |
| Art studio / workshop | 30–100 m² |
Every model can be customised. If you only need 60 m², we can design a 60 m² building. If you need 300 m² with a workshop, office, and showroom, we can do that too.

Yes. Our kits include the full structural frame, cladding, and engineering. You fit out the interior for your salon — plumbing for wash basins, electrical for dryers and lighting, ventilation, and whatever your business needs.
Kit supply starts from $82,900 for our Noosa model (198 m² total). For a smaller custom design — say 40–60 m² for a dedicated office — pricing depends on size, wind region, and specifications. Contact us for a quote.
In most cases, yes — a permanent building on your property requires a development application or complying development certificate. Our kits include architectural and engineering drawings designed for council submission.
Absolutely. Many of our models combine living areas with workspace. A combined live-work setup is one of the most practical uses of a shed home.
