LIGHT GAUGE STEEL FRAMING MELBOURNE
In today’s construction industry, staying ahead of the competition is critical. Today’s consumers are well-informed and expect high-quality results, and builders and tradespeople are looking for ways to work more efficiently.
With the increased demand for accuracy and precision in today’s construction framing, the building industry is witnessing a clear shift toward lightweight steel framing in both commercial and residential construction.
Tradespeople are recognizing the advantages of working with pre-assembled steel facade frames because it is lighter and easier to erect, with definite advantages in installation speed and accuracy, as well as reduced waste on site. Pre-drilled holes in the steel frame build allow electricians and plumbers easy access to install their services.
Consumers see the accuracy and precision in their finished true core steel frames as well as being assured the framing provides an environment fire resistant, free from termites and insecticidal processes.
