How it goes
The order the work happens in
Every job follows the same sequence, and the sequence is what makes the finished work hold up. Supply and installation as one contract: site works, an engineered slab with hold-down bolts cast to the manufacturer's template, frame erection, sheeting, gutters, doors and the development approval most structures of this size need.
01
The pad is cleared and levelled to the footprint
02
The slab is formed and poured with hold-down bolts cast in
03
The kit is laid out and checked against the packing list
04
Columns stand on the cast-in bolts, plumbed and braced
05
Rafters, purlins and bracing complete the frame
06
Sheeting, doors and guttering are fitted and connected

02
A slab poured with the wrong bolt positions for the frame
03
Council approval nobody has lodged
04
Stormwater from the new roof with nowhere to go

What Keswick is built on
What the Keswick site visit looks at
Keswick is 2.75 km south-west of the Adelaide CBD and inside the 60 km service area. Access to the work area, what sits under the existing surface, and how the block drains are all checked at the address before anything is priced. The slab is the foundation and the anchor, so the ground and the levels are settled before the kit arrives.
Why AOI
One scope, written down
Sheds and Carports at Keswick is priced from a written scope that lists what is included before anything is cut, dug or poured. The same team that scopes the work builds it, so the plan that is approved is the plan that gets built.

Questions from Keswick
Sheds & Carports in Keswick — FAQs
Do you cover Keswick for shed and carport work?
Yes. Keswick 5035 sits about 2.75 km south-west of the downtown area and inside the 60 km radius. Pricing starts from what the site shows: the way in for a machine or a delivery, the drainage of the block, and what lies beneath the existing surface.
What slab does a shed need?
The common domestic pad is about 100 mm thick over mesh on compacted fill. Where a vehicle goes in — a carport or a workshop — it steps up to roughly 125 mm with thicker edges, and the footings are sized from the frame manufacturer's engineering. It is poured to that design and the compliance paperwork is provided.
What is included in the contract?
All of it in one agreement: ground works, the engineered pad, the frame, the roof and wall sheeting, gutters, doors and the development approval. When those are bought from different suppliers the interfaces become the risk, and any mismatch between them leaves the owner coordinating the blame.
Where does the roof water go?
Downpipes are part of the build, not an extra, and the roof water is discharged into the stormwater system. That keeps it off the slab edge and away from the footings, which is where water does the most damage on a shed that was never connected up.
