Where are you located in chch?

If you are in TC2 or TC3 zone, you may need a geotech report ($$$) and an engineered foundation (more $$$).

buy a shed package off a national chain. They do all the paperwork and know local laws and inspections. If you want to build it , buy a kitset?.but get their contractors to lay the concrete floor for you. That way everything is legal in location footing and square.
