STYLISH AND AFFORDABLE STEEL KIT HOMES
Wide Span Homes No Compromise Steel Building Solutions.
Affordable and Stylish Housing Solutions Wide Span Homes provide a range of stylish, spacious and quality steel home kits at competitive prices. We supply the steel shell and structure of your new home, enabling you to source the rest without having to pay a builder’s margin. Many of our competitors offer the full package including windows, doors, gyprock and plumbing – however, this comes at a price inflated by the additional margins.
The Wide Span Homes Concept The key to the Wide Span Homes concept is simplicity... our range of steel kit homes are designed and engineered in accordance with the Building Codes of Australia and to endure Australia’s harsh and at times, unpredictable weather. Our steel kit homes are supplied to you (just as the name suggests) in kit form – and are perfect for the owner builder or project manager.
What Does Being an Owner Builder Mean? If you're ready to take on the challenge of building a home, or at the very least manage the contractors completing the project, you have the potential to save
02
thousands of dollars by purchasing a Wide Span Homes steel kit home. The kit home gives you flexibility (and cash) to finish the home to your budget, taste and time frame.
Benefits of Being an Owner Builder • Control of project – you are not limited by the builder. • Flexibility – last minute changes are possible.
Benefits of a Steel Kit Home Steel is extremely durable and more likely to withstand fierce weather and climate. Don’t be fooled though, while cold-form steel is very strong, it is also a lightweight material - making it easy for transportation and labour, resulting in reduced freight and labour charges.
What is a Builder’s Margin? The professional builder provides a built service; they are most likely NOT a manufacturer or distributor of building products. When a professional builder sources and supplies the building products on your behalf, then a builder’s margin is added for the procurement. Eliminating these margins is one way that you can save money.

• Selecting tradesman – you are free to use who you want. • No waiting time – you can work to your own schedule and not a builder’s. • The final result is the home you want. • No builder’s margin.
Engineering and Floor Plans Our range of kit homes include all engineering plans, floor plans and elevations for you to submit to council.
Termites Don't Like Steel!
steel; you can be rest assured the structural integrity of your home will not be tainted by these pests. Wide Span Homes do recommend that you arrange regular termite inspections for your home, as other areas may still be prone to termite infestation.
Liveable Sheds Need more living space? Maybe an escape from the wife, husband or kids? Or maybe you are just looking for the perfect recreational retreat where you can entertain your friends? Whatever the reason, we can turn many of our first-class sheds into a class-1a liveable retreat, making a Wide Span Sheds steel kit building the ideal solution for all your storage, farming and living needs. That's right, contact our Wide Span Homes specialists and ask how you can increase the liveable area and value of your property.
Termites are a big problem in Australia and whilst there is no way to completely eradicate this problem, you can reduce the termite temptation with a steel kit home. Unlike timber framed homes, termites will not eat through

The Country Villa is a smaller alternative to the Country Home. The lean-to's are structural meaning that they can be left open or enclosed later to create an extra room or garage when needed. It is also more affordable to construct due to a smaller concrete slab.

Can you Live in your Shed? Imagine the serenity. You’ve just bought your dream country block of land, and wanting to save a bob by living in a shed to start with. The question is, can you legally live in your shed? Simply put, yes you can, but there are many rules you must adhere to! And it would only be to your own detriment if you don’t, as you might end up with a large fine from your local council if you don’t adhere to the rules and regulations in regards to shed homes.
Check with your Local Council
Class 10a Buildings vs. Class 1a Buildings
Our very best advice to you would be to contact your local council or private certifier, and have a chat with them in regards to converting your shed into a liveable dwelling. It probably also wouldn’t hurt to do a little research online – most councils have many of their regulations listed on their websites.
A shed or a garage is considered a Class 10a building, which means it is not intended for use as a liveable dwelling. Your liveable shed will need to be a class 1a building. Wide Span Homes however, offer a range of shed kits that have been engineered as a Class 1a – liveable building.
Development Application
There are also other factors that need to be considered when make a shed home a habitable dwelling, and they are:
Often you need to have a Development Application approved for a future home if you’re considering a shed as a temporary dwelling.
Dwelling Entitlement Does your land have dwelling entitlement? If not, will you be able to secure this from council before you construct your shed?
• Termite protection / prevention • Proper insulation / ventilation • An approved septic / waste disposal system • An approved electrical plan
The Getaway range is basically our sheds turned into a Class 1a habitable dwelling. Create your perfect building today! Standard Inclusions
