What Steel Frames & Trusses does

Steel Frames & Trusses is an Australian privately-held manufacturer and installer of prefabricated light gauge steel (LGS) framing systems, serving residential builders, commercial contractors, owner-builders, modular home builders and specialist trades across Sydney, NSW, Canberra/ACT and Melbourne/VIC. The company operates a single manufacturing facility at 20 Stanley Street, Silverwater NSW 2128, and runs two distinct go-to-market motions: enterprise field sales with dedicated project managers for builders and developers, and a direct-to-consumer channel (e-commerce storefront plus supply-only and supply-and-install kit home packages for owner-builders and DIY customers).

The company's core technology stack combines automated roll forming equipment sourced from Japan with CNC-controlled cutting, punching, and forming, delivering millimetre-level accuracy on wall frames, roof trusses, floor joists, ceiling battens, and roof battens. Design and engineering are conducted in BIM-enabled workflows using Vertex BD and Revit with clash detection, and all framing is fabricated from BlueScope's TRUECORE® zinc-aluminium-magnesium coated steel, backed by a 50-year BlueScope warranty. Compliance is maintained to AS/NZS 4600:2018 (cold-formed steel structures), NASH bushfire standard (BAL-12.5 to BAL-FZ), AS 3959, AS 4055, AS/NZS 1170, AS 1397 and AS/NZS 1365, and the NCC framework. The company also offers structural steel products (universal beams, columns, hollow sections, angles, flat bars), custom fabrication, welding, structural steel design services, façade and cladding services, and ancillary galvanised building materials.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time product sales of prefabricated frames, kit homes (granny flats, studio kits, tiny house and trailer frames, modular homes) and structural steel components, supplemented by professional services revenue from structural steel design, fabrication, installation and project management. Pricing is quote-based for custom projects with a free quotation service, supplemented by a published price-match guarantee and unit-level pricing on commodity SKUs sold via the e-commerce shop. Distribution is direct via company-owned delivery (regional for full install; nationwide for kit homes) and via channel partners Builder's Warehouse and QuickBuild.
