Steel Frames Canberra & ACT
Engineered TRUECORE® steel frames, roof trusses and floor joists for Canberra homes and commercial builds.
Steel frames for Canberra and the ACT
Steel frames Canberra builders and owner builders need are engineered and supplied by Steel Frames and Trusses for homes, townhouses and commercial projects across the ACT, Queanbeyan, Googong and Jerrabomberra. Our TRUECORE® steel wall frames and roof trusses are delivered pre-assembled and ready to stand.
Steel framing for Canberra’s climate
Canberra has frosty winters, hot summers and large temperature swings. Timber can shrink and move with those changes, but steel frames stay straight and true, so walls, ceilings and cabinetry stay square. Steel is also non-combustible, which matters on the bushland edges of the ACT, and it is termite-proof and will not rot.
Frames are engineered for the site wind classification and bushfire requirements, and we supply documentation for ACT building certifiers and NSW councils on the border.

Steel vs timber frames in Canberra
Canberra’s frosty mornings and hot afternoons cause timber to shrink and swell, leading to sticking doors and cracked cornices. Steel frames Canberra homes are built with do not move with moisture, so walls stay plumb and square. Steel is non-combustible, which matters on the bushland edges of the ACT, and it will never rot or be eaten by termites.
