Shed + House = Shouse

Why Consider a Shed Conversion as an Affordable Housing Option?

A More Affordable Build with Faster Construction

Utilising standard shed components and our proprietary NEWSA SYSTEM hardware is a cost-effective alternative to building a traditional house. While site preparation and foundations are still required, the prefabricated shed frame and roof can typically be erected within three to four weeks, allowing the building to reach lock-up stage quickly. At this point, the structure is fully enclosed, weatherproof, and secure.

Portico offers pre-engineered shed kits that provide an efficient starting point for a conversion project. Each kit is designed with engineered structural components and foundations that comply with the relevant wind and bushfire requirements for your site. By beginning with a pre-designed structural system, you can reduce engineering costs, simplify the approval process, and significantly shorten the overall construction program compared with starting from scratch.
