Are steel framed houses new to Australia?
No. They have been used effectively since the early 50’s and over the years constant technical advances have been made to further improve the product. It is estimated that more than 500,000 steel framed houses have now been built in Australia. We are working with the Gordon Institute and other technical colleges, to establish a steel frame module to train apprentices. The steel frame industry is becoming increasingly active in the trade schools as more trades people, especially young apprentices, are interested in learning about new techniques. The building industry needs to continually update. Lightweight steel for house construction is the material of the future.
