Pole Sheds Built Around Your Operation

From machinery storage and kiwifruit bins to workshops and smoko sheds, Diack Homes handles supply, building consent, and construction from one practical team.

Our Approach

Built for How You'll Actually Use It

A pole shed is where machinery lives, gear stays dry, and work gets done. We begin by understanding what goes inside, how vehicles move through the site, and what the land requires.

Ground levels, boundary setbacks, drainage, access, doors, and internal fit-out all affect the right design. We plan the shed around your property, then price the complete scope before construction starts.

Right-sized, not oversized

Cutting a few metres often saves less than expected and can limit the building for years. We help you choose the footprint that suits the job now and later.

Building near the coast? Standard layouts are not designed for exposed salt-spray sites. We check whether a custom coastal specification is required.

How It Works

From Site Visit to Handover

One accountable team, a clear scope, and practical communication at each stage.

  1. 01

    Feasibility

    We visit your site, review access, ground conditions, boundary setbacks, and council requirements, then confirm what the shed needs to store and how it needs to work.

  2. 02

    Plans and fixed pricing

    Start with an Alpine Buildings layout or tailor a design to your property. We then prepare a fixed-price quote with clear inclusions and exclusions.

  3. 03

    Contract

    We agree the scope, price, and programme before work starts so everyone knows what to expect.

  4. 04

    Consent management

    We manage the building consent process and confirm any boundary, earthworks, or written-neighbour-approval requirements for the site.

  5. 05

    Construction

    Our building team completes the shed and keeps you informed with weekly BuilderTrend updates, photos, and documentation.

  6. 06

    Handover

    We complete a final walk-through, hand over the keys, and make sure the shed is ready for use.

Clear Allowances for Site-Specific Work

Questions

Pole Shed FAQs

What size pole sheds do you build?+

We build everything from 30m² lean-tos through to 800m²+ farm sheds. Start with one of our plan options, then we tailor the layout to your site and what you need to store.

How much does a pole shed cost in the Bay of Plenty?+

Every shed is different. As a market guide, fully built pole sheds in New Zealand typically cost $400 to $800 per square metre, depending on size, specification, site, and fit-out. Your price is confirmed after a site visit in a fixed-price quote.

Do you build the frame or complete the whole shed?+

Diack Homes offers the full package, from supply and building consent through to construction, so one team looks after your project from start to finish.

What areas do you service?+

We build across the Bay of Plenty, including Tauranga, Mount Maunganui, Papamoa, Te Puna, Pyes Pa, Te Puke, Edgecumbe, Maketu, and Whakatāne.

Is electrical work included?+

Electrical work is scoped separately. We confirm what is required at the feasibility visit and include the agreed scope in your fixed-price proposal.

Do I need building consent for a pole shed?+

It depends on the design, size, and site. Some rural pole sheds may be exempt under Schedule 1 of the Building Act, while others require building consent. We assess this during feasibility.

Are earthworks and site preparation included?+

Earthworks are quoted separately because every site is different. We assess ground levels, access, drainage, and boundary requirements before confirming the scope.

How long does a pole shed take to build?+

The programme depends on shed size, site preparation, and consenting. We provide a clear timeline at contract stage and keep you updated through BuilderTrend.
