Farm new build
New houses, shearing sheds, machinery sheds, workshops – any new structure for your farm or station
At Awesim Building Contractors, we design, plan and construct new farm buildings built for rural life across New England & North West NSW. Whether it’s a new homestead, shearing shed, machinery shed, workshop, hay barn, stock facilities or specialised ag buildings, we build tough, tidy and compliant – with country‑smart logistics for remote properties.
What we build
- New farm houses & homesteads – country‑practical layouts, mud‑room entries, durable finishes, verandahs and decks.
- Shearing sheds & wool rooms – grating, races, board layout, safe access, ventilation, lighting, power.
- Machinery sheds & skillions – clear spans, high‑bay access, crane rails (optional), secure bays.
- Workshops & service bays – slabs, pits, wash‑down, compressed air, power distribution.
- Hay & fodder storage – gable or skillion, airflow, bird‑proofing, loading access.
- Livestock & yard buildings – shelters, loading areas, race covers, vet crush roofs.
- Cool rooms & produce sheds – insulated panels, hygiene‑friendly linings, drainage.
- Pump houses & utilities – bore/pump covers, tank stands, generator sheds.
- Staff quarters & shearers’ accommodation – robust finishes, compliant amenities.
- If it’s on a farm or station, we can design and build it.
