3MP

What 3MP does

3MP is a privately held, family-owned Australian steel fabrication and construction company headquartered at 43 Saleyards Road, Millicent, South Australia, founded in late 2011 and operating under the legal entities 3MP Constructions Pty Ltd and 3MP Pty Ltd as Trustee of the 3MP Investment Trust. The company designs, manufactures, and installs custom steel products for residential, rural/agricultural, commercial/industrial, and trade customers across four branded divisions: 3MP Sheds (domestic, agricultural, commercial and industrial sheds, carports, verandahs, roller doors), 3MP Fences (neighbour-friendly, slat, tubular, PVC, security, and post-and-rail fencing plus gates), 3MP Roofing (seven cladding profiles, gutters, flashings, fascia, insulation, and Laserlite polycarbonate), and 3MP Steel (C and Z purlins, reinforced mesh, yard rail, and cut-to-size structural steel). Its core technology is an in-house roll forming capability at the Limestone Coast facility that produces custom steel profiles on demand, complemented by sourcing of BlueScope Colorbond, UniCote, and Zincalume materials engineered to Australian Standards (AS/NZS 1170) with wind region compliance for regions A through D.

The company generates revenue through quote-based hardware sales (sheds, fencing, roofing profiles, raw steel) plus professional installation services delivered either directly through its in-house team or via trusted local builders, with both DIY kit and turnkey options available to customers. Pricing is custom and not publicly disclosed; all quotes are free and no-obligation, delivered through phone, text, email, online form, and the 3D Shed Designer tool, with project lead times of 6-12 weeks from deposit for standard shed jobs. The geographic footprint is tightly regional: it serves the Limestone Coast of South Australia and the Western Districts of Victoria, with free delivery inside Millicent and distance-based fees elsewhere, and distribution is run through direct sales backed by a physical showroom, the company-owned delivery fleet, and a network of local installers. Key supply partnerships underpin the offering - BlueScope Steel (core steel), Steel-Line Garage Doors (core doors), and several product-level suppliers (Laserlite, Kingspan, Pelican Panels, Senturion Steel). The CEO is Stef Pulmer, the Business Manager is Karen Pulmer, and the Fencing Sales Consultant is Maddie Pulmer, confirming family ownership of the leadership team alongside Shed Sales Manager Graham Dowie.

Direct peers

• Fair Dinkum Sheds: National network of locally-owned shed designers and builders using a standardised engineering system. Closely comparable to 3MP's shed design/manufacture/install business model, including use of 3D design tools and Colorbond materials.
• Shed Boss: Franchise network of shed designers and builders across regional Australia, competing with 3MP for residential, rural and commercial shed work using a similar turnkey design-approve-build model.
• Ranbuild: Australian shed, garage, carport and barn builder network with in-house roll-formed steel components. Directly comparable to 3MP on product (sheds/carports/outbuildings), materials (BlueScope) and custom-engineered offerings.
• Stratco: Australia's largest manufacturer and installer of steel building products including sheds, patios, fencing, roofing and rainwater goods. Directly comparable product portfolio and target customer segments to 3MP, but at national scale.
• Action Steel: Australian roll-formed steel product manufacturer producing purlins, roofing, fencing and structural sections — a comparable fabricator/supplier operating in overlapping channels and customer segments.
• Spanlift: Australian manufacturer of prefabricated steel buildings, sheds and structural steel, with comparable agricultural, commercial and industrial shed offerings and BlueScope steel supply chain.

Others

• BlueScope Steel: 3MP's primary upstream materials supplier (Colorbond, Zincalume, RHS, mesh, purlins). Included as an adjacent ecosystem participant whose product decisions and pricing directly shape 3MP's competitive position.

Broad incumbents

• Lysaght (BlueScope): BlueScope-owned steel building products brand supplying roofing, walling, fencing, purlins and structural sections. Comparable product range but operates as a national brand and materials supplier rather than a regional installer.

Emerging players

• Wekplace: Digital shed/building configurator platform used by regional shed builders across Australia to provide online quoting and design — an emerging software-enabled peer to 3MP's own 3D Shed Designer tool.
