Hi guys,
Just a warning, Shedco have just gone into recievership as of last friday.... Rang them to see when my new 16X7.5m shed would be ready for delivery only to be told
"Oh the creditors will be in touch in coming days"........ $9700 deposit could be down the drain....... What sort of f*&^%#d setup allows them to take a deposit and come up with no goods......

Fingers crossed for next week but on all accounts it doesn't look good

Cheers Franky

Ahhh shit.

Thieving muddapuckers, i hate that.

Good thing we didnt order that shed yet then.

Hope all goes well with getting the shed/money back.

Gee, what sort of shed did you order.....I have one the same size that I paid $11300 for delivered to my door and no it was not with wide span sheds.....

and hope all turns out well for you

4 x 4m bays.. with 3 x 3m wide roller doors, a PA door and the sides were a min of 3.6m tall all in colourbond, and all to C2 code....., were only just more $$ than widespan but $6-8K cheaper than anyone here in Darwin...

Who did you use, might need em, have already put down my $10k slab

oh man thats gota suck hope it all works out for you finers crossed

Thanks Ben
I feel like I've had a pineapple inserted with brake fluid as lube ..... Just trying hard not to get the family down too much with my stress..... Looks like all car stuff maybe put on hold... We all know it takes around $14K of earnings to have $10k cash

Keep you updated after tomorrows phone calls are made

lucky we waited.....gotta quote and shit but held off on going to the bank till after holidays....!!

Dad's thinking of getting a shed, lucky you posted this, showing him tomorrow morning.

damn franky spewing about the news ay, best of luck in gettting your cash back

fark. I have at least got my shed but now every time I look around the prices soom to be going up for everything else to do with it if you get your money back try shed boss or ranbuilt

just finished putting up our 20X10m shed got it through shed boss, they were pretty good to deal with

20m x 10m I was dreaming of that size, Fingers crossed I have 16 x 7.5 $18K..... shed boss were around $24k... and I want a hoist

After a heated conversation with shedco staff, I have been guaranteed my shed but maybe a few weeks delay, I will be recieving a letter in coming days from creditors of full explanation........ they may be pissing in my pocket but gee it almost made me feel better

that sucks franky,but hopefully you get your shed or a refund.

fark mate hope it all works out for ya!

The biggest problem was the local supplier (name deleted) .....an absolute pack of wankers.....

it is unwise to pay to much, but it is worse to pay too little. When you pay to much, you lose a little money thats all. When you pay to little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the job it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot, it cant be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better. Quoted from Mittler brothers machine company.
not having a go just some philosphy on the real cost of things. and the old saying of "if you by a quality product from a long running business then the quality remains long after the price is forgotten" Hope it all works out

Ed,
Under the contract you have to pay 50% deposit for the shed to be fabricated...and they weren't the cheapest and not the dearest.......... just spoke to administrators and will know more within the fortnight...... doesn't look good and as usual Shedco have been pissing in everyones pockets telling everyone that their shed is guaranteed.
F&^K

just go in there with a truck and take as much stuff out of the store as will fit in the truck, take tools even take the things bolted down, until you are sure that selling everything cheap cheap will cover the cost of what you have paid them.

I’m not totally sure i agree with this!
M&D just had a new fence installed - wasn’t the cheapest by a long shot and was 'supposed' to be from a reliable long term NT fence company! (Gee they won the contract for the Lyons estate - so one would think they were ok!) WRONG! As the contract read you pay a % up front - which turned out to be about $6k for m&d, and the rest in installments...

Well the $6k was paid upfront - 8 months later!! And only after a threat from mum did the guy actually START the damn job! The job took 4 months to kind of complete! And then when he installs the electric fence it’s broken, the key tags don’t work, and the list goes on! Quotes an absolute excessive amount of $$ to blatantly rip m&d off to get the fence panels painted - when my brother is a painter and knows the true costs of doing this was less than 1/4 of the price!

Mum has refused to pay the remaining amount owing to him until he fixes the problems and then she has decided she will wait 8 months to pay him or pay him $20 a fortnight!

That Darwin for you. My shed was quoted back in April last year but due to the time it took to get approval to build they had to requote. You guessed it everything went up by shit loads. the slab was originally $24000.00 ish and then thay come back with the new cost of $34550.00. so now they are not doing the slab as I have hunted around and can have it done for aroung $20000.00, and no that is not the cheapest price either.

Thats a shitter Fanky, hope it works out.

Weve been diddled by 3 customers this finacial year. 2 of them are minesites. Sorts of helps with the tax problem though.

We have been quoted 10k for our slab just the slab and another company has quoted 5k this includes sloping and spoon draining.

Pays to shop around at the moment....people have been over quote'n for ages because the economy was so good now they are looking for work so they are actually fightin again for the work and giving reasonable quotes.

We recently laid a slab at home for the carport, 5m x 5m x 100mm which worked out to be around 4 cubic metres of concrete which cost us $780.

Probably 4 hours with 2 people and it was screened & trowled.

I swear concreters are employed by REPCO.





What did that set you back??

Same size through shedco was around $35k for the base setup.

...dont talk to me about slaps. ....quoted 1$16500 to $22000 for our carport....ended up costing $5700 inc everything and I did SFA (I know jack shit about slabs )....and our slab is 19m x 9 m x 100mm thick with mesh and fortocon.....and guess who will be doing our shed slab.....SO SHOP AROUND

any news franky

Meeting held yesterday in Perth

Elected board to work with administrators,
They may have 2 interested parties in buying them out,
A vote will tried to be held within the fortnight as to what is happening between board members upon the administrators advice.

Answer your question................looks like a waiting game to see if I loose my $10K all together or get a shed in 6 mths time

that sucks,

I wonder if the prices will stay the same if they're bought out.

Got a few quotes from rival company's, and the difference is ridiculous.

Hope it all works out.

mine from Steelway Sheds 16m x 7.5m x 3.3m, both end bays lock up.

Thanks Kev.

Any good News ?

Any news?...speaking to a freind today, Shedco still owe him $30k for work he done.....mite send him under

Apparently there was a meeting today 10.30 WA time and I have rang 5 times today but as yet NOT A FUGGIN WORD...... Have now sent email to Administrators as well... We may have to all get together for a class action suite........ from all accounts it doesn't look favourable for any of us



Have spoke with these guys and seem very good and will be my PLAN B option

Any news?

This was a shed on a Nth QLD property I looked at last week, supplied, erected, slabbed and electricity in for $36000.... to me thats pretty good... is it?

Is that Darwin slab and erection prices??

Or just what they charge in QLD??

If it's the first, then it seems to be a bargain.

May have an outcome by end of the week

no QLD

Well its official- I'm fugged...... west coast sheds have taken over SHEDCO, but not the debts hence people who have paid 100-50% have lost everything however they are offering a $1500 discount on a new shed........BFD!

So you won't be seeing the Willys or the Nag getting round too much as now I'll be pinching pennies all over again

As the consumer there is no protection Fugged up ozzie laws

NT1200- who did your slab??? I'm doing a 6 X 6 slab in coming weeks no big deal but my next bit has to be spot on 10-12mtrs for bedrooms and ensuite etc

that suck arse big time , sorry to hear dude

You guys are Noob as fuck when it comes to construction.
When building a slap/fence/shead DO NOT Employ a company.
Go to a labour hire company and hire people who know how to do the work and pay them a houre wage.
This will save you massive amounts of money.
But as i have my own company i love people like all of you.

And sheads they cost sweet FA to make and sweet FA to build and they charge a fortune

That's fucked Franky. Sorry to hear...
As for comments like Vegas has made - that's fucked too.
