You & Your Family
When you are building a new home of any size, in any neighbourhood, you want to be sure that it will be there to provide safe and comfortable shelter for you and your family, for as long as you need it to.

Steel Frame’s Electrical Safety
Therefore, you will be looking at the safety properties of the building materials you choose as an owner builder, or if you plan to work with us on the construction of your new home.
When steel framed homes are first erected the frames are earthed, which means that they are electrically safe from a lighting strike, or an internal spark, which would otherwise ignite a timber frame.

Instead, the potentially dangerous voltage is conducted through your steel frame and into the ground, keeping you safe without you often even realising. Plus, all new steel framed homes will be fitted with a safety switch to disable the source of further unsafe electrical currents.

Steel Framing for the Budget Conscious
Up front, steel frames are often more affordable than an equivalent timber option. Plus, each section is of the steel frame is marked with a number, to match to the wall and truss layout plans. This guarantees fast construction of your home – saving you precious weeks of rent money.

But a steel framed home can also save you money long after you’ve unpacked your last dinner set, with lower insurance premiums available on steel framed homes because of their fire and termite resistance. You will also find you are not forced to redecorate as you would be in a timber framed home, where nails can pop out, ruining cornices, architraves, wall lines and door and window frames.

Chemical Safety
Protecting your home from the ground up, your steel frame is termite and borer resistant, so there is no need to continually subject your family to costly and unhealthy chemical treatments around your home, to ward off these pests.

Your Home & Its Strength
Steel is a man made, specifically manufactured product, and our steel frame products are therefore not susceptible to flaws such as the knots you will see in number of timber frames. Steel is also no more likely to move and make noise, or form cracks in your other building materials, as it will move naturally at the same rate as your plasterboard, preventing cracks in your cornices, and avoiding jammed windows and doors.

Weather
You also don’t have to worry about movement brought about by extreme weather
conditions, as steel frames are favoured in the north west of Australia, where the temperature differences between day and night can be as much as 40C, while residents see only stoic resistance in their steel framed homes. Steel frames also have the strength to withstand the severe cyclone activity also found around the coast of Australia, and meets the seismic ratings dictated in the National Building Code.

Technology
The steel frame products and systems we can offer you benefit from heavy investment into technology to ensure that a world class product is presented to the local and international, residential, commercial and industrial building companies.

Our steel frame products are preassembled for the most efficient assembly on site and safety and strength are always the top priority. All wall frame attachments are clearly visible when fixed to a steel frame; where nails holding up timber frames are not visible on the surface of a timber frame encouraging the separation of sections.

All steel frame products are manufactured using specifically designed CAD software. The designs are uploaded, and automatically actioned by the software with pinpoint accuracy, leaving no room for human error.

Accuracy
The research, technology and strength of steel frame products combine to ensure a lightweight and durable building material, resulting in straight internal walls and ceilings. Your steel framed home will also be termite and borer resistant and will not warp or shrink a promise which is backed by a 50 year structural guarantee.

Your Home & Its Style
When you’re building a new home the most important thing is that it meets your idea of a dream home, weather that may be. When you build with steel you have the design freedom to make that dream come alive, not matter how complex it seems to other builders.

Steel frames can be manufactured into any complex shape you can imagine in your home, and are compatible with all wall, ceiling, and roof materials. This means your dream home can incorporate very high ceilings, curved walls, circular or curved windows, and any other unique design element you care to imagine.

Steel frame products are also available in infinitely variable lengths, so your design can be as intricate or far reaching as you like. Far reaching is also a specialty of steel frames as our products allow for surprisingly straight and long open spaces, perfect for modern open plan living. The longer floor spans, coupled with the slender walls possible in a steel framed home, allow for more usable, liveable space for quality family time, extended family get togethers, or an all important retreat.

The Environment
Caring for the environment has never seemed more important than it does right now and we are always encouraged to look for greener alternatives in every aspect of our lives. Well when you are building your new home you may not want to compromise your dreams to help save the planet, but when you choose to build steel framed home you don’t have to.

Our steel framed products are made locally, right here in Adelaide, which means that you are already helping cut down on the carbon emissions which would be produced if your steel frame travelled long distances to reach you.

Steel frame products are a renewable, fully manufactured product which makes them a more environmentally friendly alternative to cutting down trees for timber frames, and ensures consideration for future production and the sourcing of materials. Contrary to the belief of many timber frame advocates, it has actually recently been proven that the emissions created during the production of steel frame products do less harm to the environment that the felling of the trees for timber frames.

Also, even when steel framed products have had their run, and are being demolished for example, the frames are 100% recyclable, and meaning there is still no negative environmental impact to dispose of our steel framed products at the end of their life.
