FAQ

Construction

With several roof pitches to choose from, we can often match the roof style to suit the other buildings. We also have the option of two different cladding profiles available in a wide range of colours.

Our buildings are based on a modular design and the exclusive software we use allows us to adjust spans, heights and bays sizes to suit your requirements. We can usually get within a few millimetres of your exact needs.

Many of our clients erect their own garage and farm shed kits. If you are handy (or know someone who is) together with our comprehensive instructions, you should not have any difficulty in erecting your building.

We are registered and licensed builders with experienced erection teams on call. These teams are trained in the erection of our buildings and have all the equipment required to complete the job. We do not just give you a list of names of so called erectors and leave you to sort it out.

All our buildings are designed by external consulting engineers to exceed the current Australian building standards. All frame members and cladding are manufactured from the range of roll-formed products produced by BlueScope Steel, and carry a warranty of up to 15 years (conditions apply).

In most cases, the answer is yes. Certainly in Domestic, Commercial or Industrial locations. You may also need building approval in some Rural areas as well. Ranbuild buildings are designed to meet the relevant building codes and full engineering documentation will be allowed for if requested at time of quotation. On receipt of a deposit and signed order, these documents will be prepared for issue.

Outdoor Steel Solutions can be of assistance as we are aware of the local building authority requirements. We can help you with things such as site plans, approval documents and explain what fees may apply.

We can supply buildings designed for any region in Australia including cyclonic and sub alpine areas. The design criteria will be clearly shown on the quotation form.

We specialise in customised solutions to suit your requirements.

We have three ways of fastening down our standard buildings. Each way can be used with footings or a slab, or both.

  1. Cast-in U straps.
  2. Threaded and cranked bolts.
  3. Column embedded in concrete – mostly used on free-standing carports.

On garages we give you the option of the three top brands of roller doors on the market. You can specify the colour, whether they are keyed alike or electrically operated. On larger commercial, industrial or farm buildings we offer the choice of horizontal external sliding doors or large size vertical rolling doors.

With over 20 manufacturing centres Australia wide, we can deliver to most locations at economical rates. Some remote areas may be more economically serviced with your own local carrier. Either way, you have the option of picking your building up from the factory or having it delivered.

We provide you with a tax invoice allowing you to pay by cash, cheque or direct deposit.

You may choose to pay for your building using the exclusive Ranbuild Better Pay system. Better Pay allows you to pay for your building over a fixed period without interest.

Ranbuild BetterPay allows you to purchase a Shed today while making convenient fortnightly or monthly direct debit payments. You nominate your bank account or credit card and we do the rest. It generally takes only a few minutes for the entire process, and… Your contract has... NO INTEREST EVER!

Why? Because the service is paid by Ranbuild for you, not by you! If you have a full-time job or are an Aged Pensioner, answer a few questions and we will complete the ½ page application for you.

The application and approval process takes only a few minutes and after approval, we will send the application on to Certegy. Certegy will send you a confirmation letter detailing the dates and amount of each direct debit. You make sure there is money in your account on the stated dates and rest assured, there is... NO INTEREST EVER!

You can still place your order with a nominal deposit of 10% of the purchase price allowing us to:

  1. Release the Engineering Plans and Specifications for you to submit to Council for approval.
  2. Provisionally place your building into our production schedule.

When you notify us that approval has been obtained, production of the building will commence after a final production payment is made.  If you have ordered your building "Subject to Council Approval" and your local authority does not approve your structure, we will refund your deposit upon receiving the written confirmation.

ZINCALUME® and COLORBOND® high tensile steel has been specially developed to withstand Australia's harsh climatic conditions with minimal maintenance. Regular washing with water will enhance the life of your building and also maintain its appearance and protect your asset.

Areas such as wall cladding under eaves, garage doors and the under sides of gutters should be hosed down at least every six months or more frequently in coastal areas. A maintenance guide is included with the erection instructions.
