24.01.2022 The pictures below were taken during wind load assessment. The shed is inside a wind tunnel where wind's velocity is converted into pressures applied on to shed's claddings. Red areas are the ones trying to crush the shed whereas the blue areas are the ones trying to rip the shed apart. Not all engineers are created equal, are they?

21.01.2022 This picture shows columns displacements during lateral wind pressures. Note how columns in the middle sway more than those towards the ends of the shed. They behave quite differently depending on their location. What an average engineer does: treats any middle portal as being identically loaded to all other middle portals. Why is this wrong: your shed is going to be using more steel than it's actually necessary but if you're happy to pay for it then it's all fine.... What we do: we use 3D modelling for every shed and optimise steel usage without compromising structural integrity. Why is this good: your shed will be as strong as it needs to be using the optimum amount of steel. This means more money will stay in your pocket. You're welcome :)

21.01.2022 Why us? Well, if price & service quality are important then the photo below is pretty much self explanatory.

17.01.2022 Connections: lots of engineers out there do a minimal job in order to stay competitive and to also keep their hourly rates. They don't work faster, they simply work less by cutting corners and skipping design steps. We find this attitude to be both unprofessional and unfair to the customer. This is why we have invested in our knowledge and in cutting-edge software. We're more thorough than everybody else, we work faster and we deliver a better service. It's all these skills ...that allow us to charge the $800 flat fee, regardless the size of the shed. See? Not all engineers are created equal. See more

13.01.2022 Hi Everyone! We're very excited to be back online and working on some amazing new designs. We hope everyone is staying safe and we're happy to be coming out of quarantine. Looking forward for the rest of 2020!

05.01.2022 DESIGNED SHED: 20 m wide x 60 m long x 6 m at eaves. We always use 3D-modelling during structural analysis. This allows us to come up with a precise and strong yet economical design.

04.01.2022 We've updated few things on our website. Feel free to have a look and let us know what you think. PS: We're working really hard behind the scenes in order to establish an online presence. We wish to thank to all of you who showed your support so far, it does mean a lot to us. It motivates us to work harder because Australia deserves better. http://sheds.design/

02.01.2022 Case study: one of our clients wanted a open shed certified as he already had it fabricated using a similar design done by an engineer he used to work with. We brought to his attention that with a single braced end bay the shed is not braced adequately. Our client said that he has seen lots of sheds braced like this, at just one end, so what could be the problem? The problem is sway. Too much sway. TOP LEFT: The shed as initially designed, fabricated and braced. TOP RIGHT: Sh...ed sway values. Red value is the maximum. BOTTOM LEFT: Same shed, braced adequately. BOTTOM RIGHT: Sway values for the proper braced shed. Blue arrows indicate wind direction. AS you can see the difference is quite significant. In first case the shed is not standard complying. Whenever you see a shed designed like that ask the engineer if he calculated shed's deformation for all of the 8 wind directions. If you really want to be mean ask him if he used a 3D model to design your shed. You'll see that not all engineers are created equal.
