We are planning on getting a reasonable sized shed built at our new place. Not certain on dimensions yet, but probably something like 20m x 15m x 3.2 or 3.6m. It will become our home base & storage facility whilst we travel & rent out the house.
Fair Dinkum Sheds was one potential supplier, but the more I hear about 'shed suppliers' the less comfortable I feel about the franchises. Not just the awful experience that Ray had, but stories of wanting payment upfront & lack of interest in rectifying problems after construction. We are not talking peanuts for the cost of these things, and it seems like a bit of a lottery to avoid the cowboys.
If anyone has any recommendations for companies in the central vic goldfields, specifically Ballarat region I'm all ears.

Cuppa try asking Ros & Ivan, they are locals and would know who and where.

Re: WARNING! Unprofessional Attitude.
Hi Cuppa, can't help with local shed builders down there but I do recommend Fair Dinkum sheds. I have two, one is 18m x 18m that I paid to have erected and the other is 9m x 9m that I erected myself. I have first hand experience erecting a 18m x 12m Titan Shed and have looked at many others, I believe the Fair Dinkum sheds leaves the others for dead.
Our local bloke, NQ Sheds, did a great job on ours. We paid instalments when certain stages were done. Slab/foundations laid, kit delivery, shed erection, final

Hi, all.
Chuck - Check out the name of the initial supplier, halfway down the first post. Steve would have spun in his grave.
