We are the first BIM software specific for the Shed Industry, helping shed businesses in Australia to iterate, design, quote, engineer, and document steel shed projects in real-time from any device. This significantly reduces time, costs, and human error associated with traditional methods.

What are the benefits of using Shedmate for my business?

Using Shedmate for your business can bring substantial benefits, especially if you're facing challenges in scaling, efficiency, and customisation within the shed industry.

1. Streamlined Operations and Quoting Efficiency: Shedmate dramatically reduces the time needed to design, quote, and engineer shed projects. Instead of waiting weeks for preliminary engineering, you can generate accurate quotes in real-time and compare how different design options impact pricing. This speed improves your customer response time and ensures you don’t miss out on opportunities due to delays​​.

2. Scalability Without Increased Complexity: Shedmate minimises the dependency on key personnel for businesses looking to grow, making your operations less vulnerable to staffing changes. The system is designed to scale with your company, allowing you to handle more projects without a proportional resource increase​. Shedmate will ensure your company-specific rules are checked for each project, reducing human mistakes that can cause rework and issues on the fabrication floor. It will also allow you to manage user permissions for the peace of mind that your sales and production departments will only have access to what they need.

3. Customization and Independence: Unlike other software tied to specific suppliers or limited functionality, Shedmate offers robust customisation options. You can tailor the system to your needs, including integrating your concreting, erection and admin pricing, engineering preliminary computations, and material supplier data. This flexibility increases your profit margins and enables you to offer more complex and higher-margin custom shed solutions​​.

4. Error Reduction and Improved Accuracy: By automating manual operations and integrating your workflow into a single system, Shedmate reduces human errors. This ensures that your designs and quotes are accurate and maintain uniformity from the start. This accuracy leads to fewer revisions and rework, saving time and money​.

5. Seamless Integration and User-Friendly Interface: Shedmate is designed for 3D Design to be intuitive and easy to adopt, with a user-friendly interface that reduces your team's learning curve. Additionally, it integrates smoothly with your existing CAD, Revit, Tekla, Advance Steel, or similar systems, minimising disruptions during implementation​​.

6. Empowering Independence and Profitability: Shedmate enables you to become an independent reseller, free from reliance on major brands or suppliers. This independence allows you to take control of your business, offering a complete solution from quoting and engineering to ordering, which can significantly enhance your profitability​.

In summary, Shedmate addresses the common pain points of quoting delays, scalability issues, and customisation limitations and aligns with aspirations for growth, efficiency, and independence. By adopting Shedmate as a premium product, your business can operate more smoothly, grow more rapidly, and achieve higher profitability.

Not at all. You have certainly tried other systems in the Australian Market and know the frustration it comes to purchase a Lead Enquiry system and only receive an e-mail with lead details. Or maybe managing the file management or quoting limitations of designing their sheds, not yours! We don't blame you. We UNDERSTAND YOU! We have been there, and Shedmate was created to be a software company for the Shed Industry, adaptable to your situation, not a way to tie you to a manufacturer.

Shedmate is independent software created with Building Information Modelling (BIM) in mind. BIM technology allows everything you see in our design to contain metadata (in other words, relevant information and properties) that can be used to create accurate Bills of Materials, Ordering, Fabrication Plans, and much more.

No matter how complex your company is, we have a solution for you!

Why Choose Shedmate?

Unlike competitors, Shedmate offers greater flexibility and real-time control over your design, quotes, documentation, engineering and ordering workflows. With its intuitive design, you can tailor the system to fit your business needs, ensuring seamless procurement and eliminating the hassle of manual coordination.

By having BIM as our backbone, we can go a lot further than most competitors due to our flexibility to make adjustments. This made it possible to design our ordering system, automatically produce construction documentation, including a Bill of Materials in real-time, and export files to native CAD/BIM systems.

Shedmate empowers your business from Enquiry to Fabrication. Read this detailed visual article on our many features.

No! We are an independent software supplier for the steel shed industry.

You can buy materials from ANY supplier.

If you are a Shedmate Standard or Enterprise user, you can utilise your engineering, brackets, and whatever you want.

The only exception is if you are a Shedmate Lite user utilising our Pay as You Go (PAYG) Engineering Services. In this case, you MUST buy bracket connections that match our specifications, but you can sort the procurement yourself. This ensures that sheds are built to match our engineering certificate of compliance.

Yes, you can. By using the instant quoting system, you will be able to input your custom pricing details and calculations in Shedmate, including Labour costs and administrative fees (using formulas or fixed-rate prices). You can export a Quoting BOM or use our Ordering System to produce ordering lists to buy materials from anyone. Still, if you use our engineering, you must comply with our standard bracket connection details.

Yes. You can create as many costing databases as you want and assign those to specific quotes. You might have a template for a region of the country, another template for different suppliers, etc. You are in control!

No! Shedmate is a monthly subscription system. We believe in the value we bring to your business and if you are not happy with it, you can cancel it at any time.

Also, to guarantee your satisfaction and peace of mind, we provide a 21-day implementation warranty on the functionality and performance of our software. We are committed to ensuring that you receive the highest level of service and support throughout our partnership. If you are not satisfied at the end of the first 21 days, we will reimburse the subscription. No risk for you!

If you use any of the systems above, you are our ideal client. Shedmate is a powerful system that can cut up to 95% of the time to design, quote, and document Steel Shed projects. We are not offering you another software, we are offering you a solution to design in REAL TIME! This means significant cost savings while drafting, documenting, and designing projects.

All of this with the advantage of exporting Shedmate projects to CAD, Revit, Tekla, or Advance Steel to complete that specific custom project you can't miss out on.

With Shedmate, you can do in 10 minutes what used to take your draftsperson a week. Seriously!

Shedmate has been saving hundreds of thousands of dollars annually for companies like yours. What used to take 7 days can now be done in 10 minutes.

Yes, absolutely. In Shedmate you will be able to import your custom preliminary engineering library if you have so. The system will look in the library for the most appropriate engineering report and all structural frames will be automatically updated to suit your project as you make changes to the design.

This is a great resource for Structural Steel estimation using web trusses, universal beams and columns, etc.

For RHS and Cold Formed Bracket Sheds, we offer real-time site specific engineering, which is a much more precise and compliant alternative.

Shedmate (Pay As You Go) has an advanced engineering analysis system that can be used to check site-specific wind forces and the impact of the structural loads on every structural frame of your project. You can run the system yourself for quoting purposes and once you are ready to order your engineering report, an engineer from our team will review the analysis and make sure everything is complying with the standards. At the end, you will receive all the documentation you need, including:

-Certificate of Compliance for your State -Engineering report with a summary of calculations -Wind Report

-Signed Architectural Plans -Engineering Drawings

-Standard Connection Details

We currently do class 10 and 8.

Yes, we don't sell any materials, we empower your business with technology so you can do it yourself. You are in control.
