Shouses -
Built Tough with
COLORBOND®
Steel

It’s a shed-house hybrid: essentially a steel shed built to house-like standards inside, complete with insulation, utilities, and living areas.

Rising housing costs, faster build times, and the flexibility of large open-plan spaces are some of the key draws for many rural or semi-rural Aussies.

Usually, yes. If it’s intended as a permanent residence, your shouse must meet Class 1a requirements under the National Construction Code.

We can help you with designing and engineering your build and any questions around obtaining council approvals for habitable spaces. Then you have full freedom and control over any necessary upgrades such as insulation, plumbing, fire safety, and electrical.

Often, yes, that’s why our True Blue shouse kits are an Aussie favourite! Note that while doing some or all construction tasks yourself can lower costs, you’ll still need licensed tradies for electrical and plumbing approvals.

Many customers prefer a single large frame around 9m x 15m, then choose to add partitions or mezzanines inside. Others prefer multi-bay designs for separate areas such as living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens.

We can tailor any of our True Blue steel frame kits to your exact measurements, roof pitch, layouts, and finish, just contact us. Alternatively, design your own shouse using our advanced 3D software and we’ll give you a free, personalised quote.

Most of the time, but the structure may need upgrading to meet Class 1a standards. Sometimes a new design is cheaper than redoing an old shed.
