Our Team would like to extend a heartfelt and sincere thanks to our Customers who have been supportive throughout this time, and to our extremely hardworking suppliers who have done their best to ensure minimal disruption to our business throughout the year.

Friday 27th March 2020

We are responding to the recommendations of the Australian Government and World Health Organisation in relation to COVID-19. Where applicable, we are also responding to the recommendations and restrictions imposed by the individual State Governments.

As of Friday 27th of March, Now Buildings is still operating as usual.  State border restrictions do not affect our shed production or consolidation as freight and logistics are deemed essential.  Please note that the border restrictions may cause some delays to our delivery schedule. We will notify customers with any delays on a case by case basis as soon as we become aware of them.

Now Buildings is Australian owned and operated and all of our materials are manufactured in Australia.  At this stage, we are not experiencing any supply chain shortages. The majority of our shed materials are made in the state that the shed is ordered for, and as such, differing State Government restrictions may cause delays at some of our depots. If this affects your shed production and delivery, we will contact you as soon as we are aware.

We are fortunate that our Sales and Administration staff are all able to work remotely from home.  This will allow us to keep our customers up to date with any changes to our usual shed production and delivery procedures.  Our manufacturing depots have also taken major steps to ensure the health and safety of their employees while maintaining normal production schedules.  All office and administrative staff that can work from home are doing so. We are checking in with our depots on a daily basis and will notify customers if there are any delays.

We are also doing our best to ensure that we support our customers, suppliers and subcontractors.  We are early paying all manufacturing, logistic and subcontractor accounts in order to support fellow businesses and their employees.

If you have any questions regarding your shed order during this time, please do not hesitate to contact our Administration Office on 1300 353 649.  We are happy to work with you to ensure your shed purchase runs as smoothly as possible and will be accommodating during these uncertain times.

Wednesday 18th March 2020

At Now Buildings, the safety and well being of our loyal customers, staff and the employees of our suppliers are our top priority.  We are responding to the recommendations of the Australian Government and the World Health Organisation in relation to COVID-19 and are taking all precautions necessary in order to keep our shed production times and deliveries on track.

As our shed materials are manufactured in Australia, we do not foresee any supply chain shortages.  However, our shed production does rely on a number of people across depots around Australia, and the isolation recommendation of the government may mean that we experience production or delivery delays.  Our team is working hard to ensure our shed production time remains the same and we will update you if anything changes.

Please note that if you are feeling unwell or have been in contact with someone who is confirmed to have COVID-19, we kindly request that you delay your shed pick up.  You can do this by sending an email to theteam@nowbuildings.com.au or by calling us on 1300 353 649.  If for any reason you would like to delay your shed delivery or pick up, please just let us know.

If you have any questions or need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our Administration Office on 1300 353 649.
