EasyKit's new online configurator gives instant pricing on quality centrepole kitset sheds, backed by 30 years of Alpine Buildings experience
In construction, uncertainty is expensive. It slows decisions, delays projects, and makes it harder for customers to move from an idea to a committed build.
Kitset sheds are no exception. For many farmers, builders, contractors, and lifestyle block owners, the need for covered space is clear. The harder part is getting a reliable understanding of cost early enough to make good decisions.
That is the problem EasyKit has been built to solve.
EasyKit is a new division of Alpine Buildings, created to make quality centrepole kitset sheds easier to price, specify, consent, and order. At the centre of the new website, easykit.nz, is a live pricing configurator that allows customers to draw a shed online and see the cost instantly.
Rather than waiting for a manual quote, customers can work through the main decisions themselves. Size, height, bay layout, door sizing and positioning can be adjusted online, with pricing shown as the design changes. The result is a faster, more transparent process for customers who want to understand what is possible before committing to the next step.
The configurator lets customers test options and arrive at a realistic scope before they invest more time into the project. That means fewer vague estimates, fewer surprises, less waiting around for prices from suppliers and a clearer brief for the builder.
But live pricing is only one part of the EasyKit offer.
A fast price is useful only if the kit behind it is dependable. That is where EasyKit is different.
EasyKit has been developed as a quality timber centrepole shed range, backed by the standards and experience of Alpine Buildings. The Alpine team has more than 30 years’ experience supplying practical, reliable sheds built to endure New Zealand conditions. That experience sits behind the EasyKit system.
The focus is not on producing the cheapest possible kitset. It is on supplying a practical, well-organised building package that is simple and fast to install.
Anyone who has worked with poor-quality kitsets knows where the problems usually appear: wet, warped and knotted timber, missing components, incomplete packs, unclear details, materials arriving from different suppliers at different times, or products being drop-shipped direct to site with little or no quality control.
Those problems rarely show up in the original price, but they are paid for later through delays, rework, wasted labour, and frustration.
Easy Kit has been designed to reduce that risk.
Every kitset shed at Easy Kit is supplied with dried and graded timber, selected for strength, consistency, and ease of construction. Timber that has not been properly dried can warp, twist, and shrink after the shed is built and it can lead to a very untidy finish. Gaps appear in the joins as the timber shrinks, so much so that it can even rip the iron cladding.
The kits are also complete. Easy Kit is not a loose collection of parts pulled together from multiple suppliers and sent straight to site. Each kit is packed as a full building package, with the materials required for the job organised and checked before dispatch.
That checking process is a key part of the offer. Easy Kit kitsets are triple checked before they leave. The purpose is simple: make sure the right materials are included, the quantities are correct, and the kit is ready for the builder when it arrives.
This is a major point of difference.
In the kitset market, some suppliers rely heavily on drop shipping. Materials may be sent from different manufacturers, at different times, with limited oversight of what has actually been delivered. If something is missing, damaged, delayed, or wrong, the issue is often discovered only when the builder needs it.
Easy Kit takes a different approach.
The kit is delivered in one shipment, giving the customer and builder a much clearer starting point. Instead of coordinating multiple deliveries and chasing missing items, the full kit arrives together. That saves time, reduces confusion, and helps the project move more smoothly once construction begins.
For builders, a complete, well-organised kitset means fewer interruptions, fewer wasted hours, and fewer unnecessary trips to source missing materials. It helps them plan the job properly and keep momentum on site.
For customers, it means confidence. They know the kitset has been put together by people who understand sheds, not simply passed through an online order system. They know the materials have been checked, the delivery has been organised as one complete package, and the product is backed by Alpine Buildings’ experience in timber shed construction.
Easy Kit also supports customers through the consent process when a building consent is required. Backed by Alpine’s in-house consenting team, Easy Kit can help customers navigate the paperwork and council compliance requirements if your shed design requires a consent.
Easy Kit gives Alpine Buildings a more streamlined way to serve customers who do not need a fully customised, clearspan shed. Many customers want a strong, functional centrepole shed that can be priced quickly, ordered simply, consented where required, and built without unnecessary complexity.
This is where Easy Kit fits. It allows customers to draw up their shed design, access instant pricing on their custom kitset design, and then simply order online.
Customers still benefit from practical design, sound materials, consenting support, and an understanding of New Zealand conditions. But the process is simplified, with the website doing much of the early pricing work upfront.
For farmers, builders, contractors, and property owners needing a new centrepole kitset shed, Easy Kit offers a more efficient way to begin.
It combines live pricing, practical shed design, dried and graded timber, triple-checked complete kits, one-shipment delivery, and in-house consenting support where needed.
That is the real value of EasyKit: not just a quicker quote, but a clearer, more reliable path from initial idea to completed build.
