In a nutshell yes. However, before we commit to a call out visit, simply by answering a few questions over the phone or via email will help us establish exactly what you are after. After answering these questions, and if you are still happy to proceed, we can then schedule a site meeting.

Worst case scenario, if the council rejects the planning application, and there is no option to have a reduced size building, or even relocating the building to another spot on the block, you are entitled to a refund of some of your deposit.  We will need to retain some of the deposit less costs for engineering plans, any unrecoverable council application fees, site plan and any other admin costs, we need to pass these costs on to you, the client. This is written into the contract (see top of 2nd page of your quote/contract) so you know and trust that your deposit is safe! Keep in mind, that after the past 15 years of providing kit sheds, garages, barns and carports to Tasmanians, the percentage of council “rejections” is almost zero.

You can most certainly modify any one of our designs. At Rainbow, nothing is standard and we want to ensure you receive the building you want. Our designs provide you with a basis to work from and we can then tailor each aspect to suit your lifestyle. Or if you have your own design we can certainly work from that too.

We can sell you either a shed (class 10a) or a house (class 1a).  But it is difficult to convert a shed into a house for the purpose of council approval and building surveying. While not impossible, the economies behind it sometimes doesn’t stack up. Usually you will need to see another building designer / draftsman and engineer to draw up a full set of house plans, but showing our shed as the main structure.  So it ends up being no different to a normal conventional house really.  It used to be a lot easier many years ago.

 

Plus we build kit homes from scratch so we try and push people that way > check out our range of kit homes

 

Structurally, our sheds can be lived in, you just need to add a lot of insulation and other building materials to make sure it complies with a house / dwelling or class 1a including under-slab insulation and a modified slab design entirely.  So as a company we don’t get involved with converting sheds into houses. as the additional work and steps involved is not as easy as it should be.  However check out our range of kit homes that are in fact designed from the outset to be "dwellings".
