Home / Sleepouts and habitable sheds
Sleepouts and habitable sheds in Mangawhai, Northland and Auckland
A sleepout, a studio, or a shed with living space for guests, work or family. I spent 30 years building architectural homes, so the parts that make a space comfortable to live in get a home builder’s attention.
What we build
Buildings people live or sleep in have more rules to meet than a storage shed, so we’ll talk through what your site needs before anything is ordered.
[Consent note to confirm with Andrew] Check with your council. We’ll confirm this for your site.
| Type | Typical size |

The whole job, or just the build
Either way, you deal with the same crew from start to finish.
We do it all
Site works, concrete, council sign-off and the shed itself. One crew from bare ground to the finished building.
You’ve got the kit, we’ve got the crew
Already bought a kitset? We’ll build it. Kitset suppliers add 10–20% to their own erection quote, so booking us direct saves you that.
You’ll be dealing with me
Sheds R Us is me and my own crew. We don’t use subcontractors, so the person you talk to on the phone is the one who runs your job.
I’ll also give you a straight answer on which kitset suits your site, whether it’s coastal, high-wind or out on a rural block, whoever makes it.
What a sleepout costs
It depends on the size, the fit-out and the site. Send a few details and you’ll get a proper number.
