(07) 2802 4427How Our Shed Builders Work in Pimpama
We can build your shed as soon as your new house has been handed over.
The Ground
Estate lots here are built up with fill, which is soil trucked in and compacted to level the land. The depth changes from lot to lot. So we design your footings, the concrete that holds the shed down, from the soil report for your block.
Getting In
Trucks get in easily on the newer streets. Your fences and retaining walls are usually already built, though, and they decide where the shed can go.
Getting a Shed Approved in Pimpama
Our shed builders prepare the drawings and lodge the approval as part of the job. Some Pimpama estates also want the developer to approve the design, and we find out early if yours does.
On an estate block, the covenant, which is the estate's own set of building rules, can limit your shed before the council rules do. The estate and the council's planning scheme, its rules for what can be built where, can each set how far the shed sits from the boundary, the wall height, the roof pitch and the colour. We check both before we quote you a size.

Questions About Pimpama
We plan every Pimpama shed around the approval, the ground and the access.
Who Signs Off on a Shed in Pimpama?
Usually a private building certifier issues the building approval. City of Gold Coast comes in for planning matters, or when the certifier refers a setback question to it. Most Pimpama lots also have an estate covenant, so we check that first.
Approvals
Will My Estate Covenant Limit the Shed I Can Build?
Usually, yes. Most of Pimpama is new estate, and the covenant can set the size, height and colour of your shed and where it goes on the lot.
Estates
My Neighbour Already Built a Shed. Do I Still Need a Soil Report?
Yes. The fill under Pimpama estate lots goes in at different depths, so we design your footings from a report on your own block.
Site
Can You Build a Shed Near My Retaining Wall?
Yes. Every retaining wall has a zone of influence, the ground behind it where the weight of a footing would push on the wall. Our footings either stay out of that zone or are designed to allow for it. We work that out before we decide where the shed goes.
Site
How Big a Shed Will Fit on My Pimpama Lot?
It depends on the room your covenant and setbacks leave you. Setbacks are the minimum distances a shed has to sit from each boundary, and on a newer lot they often leave less space than people expect.
Builds
Can I Build a Shed as Soon as My House Is Finished?
Yes, once the house has been handed over and the lot is yours to build on. Read your covenant before you start, because some estates want the developer to approve the shed design.
Timing
Ask us anything else about your shed and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
