Red Flags You’re Dealing with a Dodgy Shed Builder

Advisor Contribution by ShedEx Fleurieu


Not all shed builders are created equal—here’s how to spot the ones who could leave you with a costly disaster.


  1. No Building Licence – If a builder suggests you act as an owner-builder to save money, be cautious. This often means they’re offloading the responsibility—and risk—to you.
  2. Generic Designs – A one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t account for your specific site conditions or local wind ratings. This can lead to council rejections or structural issues down the line.
  3. Unclear Materials – If the builder is vague about the materials used or offers cheaper, non-branded steel, you might be getting a subpar product that won’t withstand the test of time.


At ShedEx Fleurieu, we’re committed to transparency and quality. Our licensed builders use 100% Australian-made BlueScope and COLORBOND® steel, and we manage every detail from design to construction—no shortcuts, no surprises.
