A habitable shed from Shed Living NZ is more than just a storage building. It’s a purpose‑designed space that combines shed functionality with comfortable living areas - bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms and open living spaces, all engineered and consented to meet building code requirements.

Timelines vary based on design complexity, council processing times, and site conditions. Once we’ve discussed your needs and completed the design and consent application, we’ll give you a realistic schedule tailored to your project.

Absolutely. Our concepts are fully customisable - from internal layouts to bedroom count, finishes, and connection to a traditional shed space. We work with you to tailor a solution that meets your lifestyle and functional goals.

Habitable sheds can generally be built on most residential or lifestyle properties where local planning rules allow minor dwellings or accessory living spaces. We assess each location and work with planners when required to determine feasibility for your specific site.

We offer a range of plans, from compact one to two-bedroom minor dwelling options, up to larger configurations with multiple bedrooms and generous living spaces - suitable as primary dwellings. Each plan can be tailored to suit your needs and council requirements.

From detailed architectural drawings to expert navigation of consents and certificates, we manage the entire compliance process. This includes building consent documentation and final certification, giving you confidence that your build meets all regulatory standards.

Once your shed is designed, built, certified and has all required compliance paperwork, it’s ready for occupation. We ensure the design meets the standards required for a lawful living space.
