CKNR Pty Ltd trading as Coasteel Buildings Sunshine & Gympie is BSA licenced (Lic No: 1061436) to complete your shed, garage or carport from council application to completion. We are not licenced plumbers so we do not undertake stormwater connection – your downpipes will be installed to ground level only. We only use experienced BSA licenced subcontractors for concreting and erect works as we require a quality finished product at all times. 2. Are the kits easy to erect as an owner builder? Yes. With the columns, rafters, haunch & apex brackets all pre-punched & ready to bolt together, an erection guide and a bill of materials and some hand drawn pages exclusively for your building showing wall girts, roof purlins, door header heights & where to start sheeting on the gable ends, and a slab layout plan you will be on your way. Of course, we are also available for advice as well. 3. Is there a range of colours available? There are 20 modern colours available in the Blue Scope Colorbond Steel Range as well as standard Zincalume. You can choose different colours for your walls, roof, gutters, flashings, barge and doors. Try the colour selecter on the home page. 4. Do the kits come with engineering for council? Yes, a full set of engineering drawings (specific to your building) is available to you once we are in receipt of a signed contract and a deposit. We can also lodge your council application for you. 5. Does the engineering include engineering for the slab and footings? Yes our sheds are engineered for A, S or M soil types. Slab & Footings Engineering for soil types other than these can be arranged if required but soil testing is generally not required for a garage slab by most councils. 6. Can my building be erected onto footings without a slab? Yes, your shed or carport could be erected on ground level footings or embedded into the footing if preferred to a slab. 7. How are your buildings anchored to the slab or footings? Each building is designed to be anchored with dyna bolts or hold down bolts set into the concrete. 8. I have some roller doors & windows of my own. Can you build the garage to accommodate them for me? As long as we are given accurate heights and widths we can organise the kit to use your doors and windows. 9. I have a four wheel drive vehicle. What height garage will I need for entry under the roller doors? With most garages the height is determined at the eave where the roof sheet meets the wall sheet, but your clearance height under you roller door will be considerably less due to the depth of the drum of the door. Below is a guide to garage heights & clearance heights under roller doors. Garage Wall height x Door clearance approx Wall 2.4m x Door 2m 10. Is it easy to extend the length of my building at a later date? Yes. Unlike many other manufacturers that utilize a smaller end portal frame due to the mullion supports our engineering uses the same size portal frame right through making it very simple to add more portal bays & extend later. 11. Can I add a side awning at anytime later? Yes this is as simple as cutting a neat slot in the wall sheets at each portal frame & inserting a flat plate bracket to pick up the column inside & bolt the rafter to it outside the wall to extend out whatever width awning you choose. 12. I have a steeper roof pitch on my house. Can I get a steeper roof pitch on my garage? Yes you can. Our roofs can be 11 degree; 15 degree; 22 degree; 30 degree; 45 degree as well as the "Mansard" barn roof and dutch gable. 13. How much deposit is needed to place my order? The deposit amount depends on the type of works involved. If it is a Farm Shed/Non Domestic Building Works or a Kit Only Sale we ask a deposit of 30% of the price of your kit. If you wish to do your own council prior to the order, we will accept a minimum engineering deposit of $500 with the balance of deposit due prior to ordering the kit. 14. What is the time frame from ordering my kit to it being delivered/built? For kit only sales not subject to council approval being completed, there will be a lead time of about 3-4 weeks from order to delivery time. For fully built jobs, the completion time is about 4 – 6 weeks from receipt of council approval. 15. Will my building be covered by a warranty? Yes the Bluescope Steel 15 year warranty applies (with conditions). 16. What does BCA (Building Code of Australia) importance level mean? Level 1 – Buildings or structures presenting a low degree of hazard to life and other property in the case of failure eg a hay shed. Level 2 – Buildings or structures presenting a moderate degree of hazard to life and other property in the case of failure eg domestic buildings – houses, garages & sheds. Level 3 – Buildings or structures designed to house a large number of people eg school buildings. Level 4 – Buildings or structures essential for post disaster recovery or hazardous facilities eg hospitals and power stations. 17. What does Terrain Category mean? Terrain Category 1 is exposed open terrain for a 10km radius, no trees, other buildings or hills. Terrain Category 2 is open terrain with a few trees and surrounding buildings. Normally a paddock. Terrain Category 2.5 is small acreage blocks. Terrain Category 3 is suburban backyards. 18. What does Wind Region Mean? Australia has 4 wind regions, A, B, C and D. Most of Australia is Region A, however South East Queensland (up to 100 km inland) is Region B. Prior to providing you a quote, we will confirm which Wind Region your property is situated in to provide the optimal building for your site. |
