Illawarra steel, Illawarra builds
Steel frames Wollongong and Illawarra builders use are supplied by Steel Frames and Trusses in TRUECORE® steel, made from coil produced at BlueScope’s Port Kembla Steelworks. We deliver engineered wall frames and roof trusses from Thirroul to Shellharbour, Kiama and Nowra, ready to stand.
Steel framing for the coast and the escarpment
Illawarra sites range from coastal blocks exposed to salt air to escarpment lots in bushfire-prone land with steep falls. Galvanised steel frames resist corrosion and termites, are non-combustible, and can be combined with our steel floor joists for suspended floors on sloping sites. Frames are engineered for each site wind classification and BAL rating, with documentation for Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama and Shoalhaven councils.

Steel vs timber frames in Wollongong
Coastal humidity and escarpment bushland make the Illawarra hard on timber, which can swell, twist and attract termites. Galvanised steel frames Wollongong homes are built with stay straight, resist corrosion and are non-combustible. Because the steel is made in Port Kembla, choosing steel framing also supports local manufacturing jobs in the region.
