We use steel frames in our kits for a number of reasons, it's lightweight and extremely strong won't burn, is termite and borer proof and won't shrink, twist or warp like a conventional timber frame. Working with steel frames allows us to produce designs that would be impossible with other materials. Giving the customer more design choice and often resulting in a less expensive build cost.

Our steel frames are manufactured to meet strict Australian standards or regional specific standards. Modern steel framing uses high tensile steel components and jointing methods and are specifically designed to pass strict performance tests.

Our steel frames feature a 'cold cutting' coating. This allows the product to 'self heal' whereby the zinc in the surrounding coating will react with moisture in the air resulting in galvanic protection of the newly exposed edge.

Our homes can be engineered to suit any location including cyclonic locations for an additional price. Our cyclonic rated plans are rated to suit cyclonic C2 wind loading, however we can upgrade our structures to wind speeds of 309 KMs per hour. All of our designs can be altered to suit your requirements. We design, engineer and provide materials to suit the region where the house will be built.
