Do I need a building consent?

Pole shed buildings will usually require a building consent. Exceptions include most pole sheds under 110 sqm in rural zones (see our blog article for more details), some sheds < 30m2, a carport 40m2 or less or if you are building within the footprint area of a previous shed that you are replacing or repairing. In some cases, other non-habitable farm sheds in rural locations maybe exempt from needing a building consent. Contact your local council for confirmation.

How do I lodge a building consent for my shed?

We highly recommend you contact your local council to discuss your building project. Firstly, confirm with your local council planner that the building project is permissible based on your property zone and obtain the relevant application forms and checklist.

To lodge a building consent you will need the following:

• A completed consent application form with checklist completed.

• Plans and PS1 for the shed (Polesheds.NZ will provide this);

• A site map indicating the location of the shed on the property. Clearly indicate distances from the front and side boundaries and other structures.

How long will my building consent take for council approval?

Councils aim to process a building consent in 20 working days or less depending on how busy they are or the complexity of the project. Sometimes they will request further information (RFI) to process the consent. If so, the clock is stopped until the information is received. 

How long will it take from order to delivery?

Once building consent is approved, we can usually deliver materials within 3-4 weeks [IMPORTANT: Check at time of order as some items may take longer due to supply constraints or disruptions].

Let us know if you require materials urgently or if materials need to be delayed so we can manage your deliveries accordingly.

Can you design a habitable pole shed building?

YES, Polesheds.NZ can design habitable pole buildings based on the shell only i.e. poles, framing, cladding (B1 Structure). You will need to work with your own designer and/or contractors to handle the interior and other design details i.e. site plan, insulation, plumbing, drainage, electrical etc.
