A multi-storey light gauge steel frame standing on site

Rocklea, Queensland · supplying Australia-wide

Frames get installed. Not worked out on site.

Every clash, connection and site condition is resolved in our design office long before the first coil is rolled. What arrives on your slab is a building that goes together.

What you are actually buying

01

Resolved in design, not discovered on site

The building is engineered in full detail before anything is manufactured. Clashes and buildability problems get closed out while they are still a drawing revision — the cheapest place any problem can be solved.

02

Detailed by carpenters and builders

The people detailing your frames and trusses have stood them. They are optimising for how it lifts, where the crew starts and what the chippie hits at 7am, because they have done that job themselves.

03

Engineering in-house

Trade knowledge and engineering under one roof, with no gap between them for details to fall through. We produce the documentation a certifier needs, so the approval proceeds without a separate engineering scope.

04

Installed, not improvised

Bracing, lintels, tie-downs and service penetrations go in at the factory. Frames arrive complete and in erection sequence, so crews and production lines execute a solved design instead of interpreting one.

The design office

The product is everything that happens before the frame reaches site

A car maker designs the chassis first, because the chassis decides what the rest of the vehicle is allowed to become. A building's frame does the same job — and usually gets treated as a late procurement line.

Frames are installed. They are not built on site, and not worked out on the fly on a factory line.

Capability

A total structural package, not a frame quote

Where it serves the project, we take the structure as one scope — so the coordination that normally happens across three consultants happens inside one team instead.

  • Total structural packageFoundations, slab, structural steel, frame and truss design taken together rather than let separately.
  • Engineering certificationIn-house engineering producing the documentation a certifier needs, Australia-wide.
  • Hybrid roof trusses & panelsTruss and panel design that speeds installation and lifts quality on site.
  • CNC-processed framesWall sheets and steel frames supplied ready to stand on bases, cut to the drawing.
  • Bespoke framingClient customisation and smart design — solid fixings for garage doors, framing out for AC return air, details that remove site cost.
  • Forward procurementSupply and capacity committed ahead of program, so a run of starts is not repriced mid-program.

Frames made from TRUECORE® steel

Strong, straight and true. House frames made from TRUECORE® steel will not shrink, twist or warp over time, will not contribute to the spread of fire, and will not attract termites — so the building keeps its integrity long after the frame is closed in.
