FAQ

Steel frame is a building technique with a “skeleton frame” of vertical steel columns and horizontal I-beams, constructed in a rectangular grid to support the floors, roof and walls of a building which are all attached to the frame. The development of this technique made the construction of the skyscraper possible.

The cost of steel frames will depend on multiple factors, such as materials, labour, and the grade and thickness of steel used. If you wish to know more about the price of steel frames in your construction project, please contact us.

Steel will not split, warp or swell along roofs, ceilings and walls, which means you won’t have plasterboards cracking or your doors and windows jamming. Steel also will not deteriorate over time like timber does, helping to prevent catastrophic structural failures and creating generations of liveability.

Fire Resistant: As we all know, the cabin structure is easily affected by fire and elevated temperature. However, the steel structure will not, our steel frame not only reached the Bushfire fire attack level of 12.5 (BAL), but also the steel is non-flammable and will not further fuel the fire.
