Frequently Asked Questions

Are Cyclone's lifestyle buildings suitable for habitable use?

Absolutely! Many of our designs can be adapted for comfortable living spaces, from basic sleep-outs to fully featured dwellings. We can guide you through the specific requirements for insulation, services, and compliance with local building regulations. Our habitable sheds have become increasingly popular as affordable housing solutions, guest accommodation, or home offices.

How do your buildings perform in challenging New Zealand conditions?

Our structures are engineered specifically for New Zealand’s diverse climate challenges. From coastal properties exposed to salt spray to alpine regions with heavy snow loads, we design each building to exceed local building code requirements. Our high-quality New Zealand steel and components ensure exceptional durability regardless of your location.

Can I combine different functions in one lifestyle building?

This is one of our specialties! Many of our most popular lifestyle buildings combine multiple functions—workshop space with vehicle storage, accommodation with garaging, or recreational areas with utility spaces. Our design team excels at creating efficient layouts that maximise the functionality of your building while maintaining a cohesive aesthetic.
