World Shed

We get asked a lot about affordable housing or DADUs (Detached Accessory Dwelling Units). We have designs for units that have been deployed all over the world and even for the US military as housing units in places like Guam. I'm a former Army officer and we were innovative when it became necessary for the mission.

Unfortunately in Seattle and in many other building departments innovation or even considering a construction method not invented before the 1970s becomes a drag out process doomed to bureaucracy and lack of skillset. Imagine if our tech economy worked this way!

Our first inquiries to SDCI (Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections) where a 2 day response is promised have not been returned after 6 business days. We'll continue to press forward and hope to get a response at least.

BTW, last time I entered into such a battle I ended up on the front page of the Seattle Times, so there is some hope. It took attending council meetings, lobbying the press, and riding a hot topic, but this one may be worth it. If not for us, for other innovative builders.

We have amazing models in stock here in King and Snohomish counties, but we do custom orders too! You won't seem them installed in a week like our current models, but our competition has long lag times. Here are some variations that can be ordered. www.worldshed.com

At the Seattle home this week we saw sheds with T-111 plywood siding at similar prices. Not a horrible product if maintained well, but compared to 23 gauge galvanized steel (most cars have 20-22 gauge steel) + insulation we are apples and oranges.
