What we make

Every part of the frame.

Precision studs and plates, punched for services. No packing, planing or straightening on site.

Roof trusses

Light, strong and straight. Long spans and open-plan roofs without the timber weight.

Floor joists

Consistent depth, no shrinkage, no squeaks. Ideal for double-storey and suspended floors.

With structural steel

Columns, beams and portals fabricated in-house, so the frame and the steel arrive together. Structural steel →

The material

TrueCore® is BlueScope's high-tensile, zinc/aluminium/magnesium coated steel made specifically for house framing. It is the only steel we run through our FrameCAD line, and it is why the frame you get is straight, stays straight and comes with a 30-year warranty.

Termite and borer proofNo chemical treatments, no barriers, no inspections.

Steel vs timber

What changes when you frame in steel.

	TrueCore® steel frame	Timber frame
Straightness	Roll-formed straight and stays that way. No twisting, warping or shrinking, so doors and windows keep working.	Moves with moisture. Bowed studs need packing and planing; movement shows up as cracks and sticking doors.
Termites	Not a food source. 100% termite and borer proof with no chemical treatment.	Needs treated timber, barriers and ongoing inspections.
Fire	Non-combustible. Does not add fuel to a fire.	Combustible.
On-site time	Every member pre-cut, punched and labelled. Frames go up faster with fewer trades on site.	Cutting, sorting and straightening on site. More labour, more waste.
Spans and design	High strength-to-weight ratio. Longer spans, bigger openings, lighter roof structure.	Larger sections or extra supports for the same span.
Waste	Made to the drawing. Offcuts are minimal and fully recyclable.	Typically 10–15% site waste to skip.
Cost	Usually line-ball on the frame; cheaper on the job once labour, waste and treatment are counted.	Lower material price, higher install cost. Price swings with timber supply.
Warranty	30-year structural warranty from Ramco Steel.	Varies by supplier.
