About Ramco Steel

Melbourne steel framing and structural fabrication — our own FrameCAD line, our own welders, one team from drawings to site.

About Ramco Steel

Steel frames and structural steel, from one supplier.

Ramco Steel makes light gauge steel frames and fabricates structural steel for builders across Melbourne. Frames are roll-formed on our own FrameCAD line. Beams, columns, mezzanines and stairs are welded in-house. One quote, one delivery, one contact.

We work with builders, architects and engineers on homes, multi-unit developments, commercial fit-outs and tiny homes. Supply only, or supply and install with our own crew.

Our factory

Every frame is made on our own FrameCAD line.

We do not buy frames in. Your drawings go into FrameCAD, and our F325iT roll-forms every stud, plate and noggin to the millimetre: cut, punched, labelled and ready to screw together. Because the line is ours, the lead time is ours too.

Common questions

Steel framing, answered.

Are steel frames more expensive than timber?

Usually line-ball on the frame, and cheaper on the job. Steel frames arrive straight and pre-labelled, so they go up faster, with no packing or planing and less waste. Send us the plans and we will price it against your timber quote.

Have steel-framed homes been proven over time?

Yes. Steel framing has been used in Australian housing since the 1950s. Modern systems are engineered to Australian Standards and carry a 30-year structural warranty from us.

Will the frames be strong enough?

Every frame is engineered for the site and the loads on it, and signed off before it is made. High-tensile TrueCore steel does not warp, twist or shrink, so what leaves our factory is what stands on site.

What about termites and fire?

Steel is not a food source for termites and is non-combustible. No chemical treatments, no barriers to maintain.

How long from quote to frames on site?

A written quote within 1–3 business days of receiving your plans. Once approved, production typically takes 4–6 weeks, then delivery on the agreed date.
