Do you offer free quotes?

Yes, you can request a quote for your steel framing project. If you are planning a residential build, granny flat, shed or other structure, you can submit your plans so the framing requirements can be reviewed. Providing accurate drawings and structural documentation allows the quote to reflect the specifications of your project. This helps ensure the steel frame design aligns with the building plans and engineering requirements.

Do you offer free quotes?

Yes. Head to our Contact page, submit your details, and we’ll get back to you.

What do I need to provide to get a quote?

To receive a quote for your steel frame project, you will typically need to provide your architectural drawings and any available engineering documentation. These documents allow the structural framing requirements to be reviewed and ensure the steel frame matches the building design. If you are working with a builder, designer or engineer, they can usually provide the plans required for quoting. Clear documentation helps ensure the steel framing system reflects the layout and structural requirements of your project.

What do I need to provide to get a quote?

To start a quote, we just need your contact details. If you have drawings or a site plan, include them as well.

Do you quote steel frames for granny flats?

Yes, steel frames can be quoted for granny flats and secondary dwellings. Steel framing is commonly used in granny flat construction because it provides strong structural support and maintains dimensional accuracy throughout the building. When your project plans are reviewed, the steel framing system can be designed to match the layout and structural requirements of the granny flat.

Do you quote steel frames for granny flats?

Yes. Send through your plans or drawings and we’ll provide a quote based on the information supplied.

What are the benefits of steel frames?

Steel frames provide strong structural support while maintaining their shape over time. Unlike timber framing, steel does not shrink, warp or twist due to environmental changes, helping maintain straight walls and accurate structural alignment. Steel framing is also resistant to termites and moisture deterioration. These characteristics make steel frames a durable and reliable structural option for residential and light commercial construction.

What are the benefits of steel frames?

Steel frames are strong, straight, and consistent, so it’s easier to keep everything square as the build goes up. They also don’t rot and they’re not affected by termites, which makes them a solid long-term option.

How much does a steel frame shed cost?

The cost of a steel frame shed can vary depending on the size of the structure, the complexity of the design and the engineering requirements of the project. Larger sheds or buildings with more complex framing layouts may require additional structural components. Providing your shed plans allows the structural framing requirements to be reviewed so an accurate quote can be prepared based on the specifications of the project.

How much does a steel frame shed cost?

Pricing varies depending on the shed size and the details in your plans. Send your dimensions and any drawings or site plan and we’ll provide a quote.

Do you install steel frames?

Steel frames are typically supplied for builders or construction teams to install on site according to the approved building plans and structural documentation. Installation is carried out according to the project documentation and construction requirements. Builders use the shop drawings and engineering documentation to ensure the steel framing system is installed correctly and aligns with the structural design of the building.

Are steel frames suitable for residential homes?

Yes, steel frames are widely used in residential construction and are suitable for many types of home builds. Steel framing provides a strong structural framework that supports walls, floors and roof structures while maintaining accurate alignment with the building plans. Because steel does not shrink, warp or twist over time, it helps maintain straight walls and consistent structural performance throughout the life of the building. Steel framing is also resistant to termites, making it a durable structural option for residential homes.
