Installing a shed is a fantastic way to increase storage space or create a functional outdoor area on your property, but understanding the costs involved in shed installation is essential. Prices can fluctuate depending on several factors, including the size of the shed, the delivery method, assembly requirements, and any additional services you might need. This comprehensive guide aims to help you understand what expenses might arise when you decide to install a shed through The Shed Man in Perth, Western Australia.
Delivery Costs
Delivery costs depend primarily on the size of the shed and whether you choose to have it delivered as a kit or one that’s fully assembled. If you’re in the Perth Metropolitan Area, the delivery of sheds in kit form starts at a modest $60 for smaller models. Medium-sized sheds typically incur delivery fees ranging between $80 and $100. Larger workshops, which demand more logistical coordination, have delivery charges that range from $120 to as much as $180. These estimates consider straightforward delivery; thus, the distances from the Osborne Park store and potential challenges at the delivery site itself might alter these figures.
Onsite Assembly and Bolting Down
The installation costs are typically segmented into assembly and bolting the shed down to a pre-existing floor surface. For small to medium sheds, this service can cost anywhere between $291 and $508. Larger sheds, including expansive workshops, require a more robust and intricate setup process, and prices for this service range from $520 to significantly over $1,000. This price variation is understandable given the complexity and necessary labour involved, not to mention the need for precision in installing larger units securely and safely.
Deliver & Assemble Service
Choosing the Deliver & Assemble option streamlines the process significantly. Under this service, professionals will not only bring your shed to the site but will also handle the meticulous assembly work. The final cost will be contingent on the specific size and requirements of your shed, so obtaining a direct quote tailored to your circumstances is advisable.
The Works Package
For those desiring a more comprehensive service, “The Works” package offers a comprehensive installation solution. This package includes the supply and installation of your shed, complete with a paved slab floor, an optimal choice for ensuring longevity and durability. This involves using 500mm by 500mm and 500mm by 250mm paving slabs, with each slab boasting a 35mm thickness. The process covers screeding and levelling of the sand site, laying black plastic, as well as the meticulous arrangement of the paving slabs. Following this, the shed will be assembled, securely bolted with dyna bolts, and sealed around the inside bottom base rail with silicone for insulation and stability.
It’s crucial to acknowledge that for “The Works,” a clear and level sand site is non-negotiable. It must be free from grass, weeds, rocks, roots, or any obstructive rubble. If grass has been removed, additional sand may be required to build the site up to a level that you are happy with. Site preparation including levelling, retaining, or cementing falls outside the service scope, thus any preparatory work outside the outlined services will have to be managed independently or through separate arrangements.
