Background 

The construction industry across Australia is currently experiencing a substantial transformation.  Clients demand more reliable product supply with less labor costs, so the move from timber to steel framing is gaining momentum.  This change gave the opportunity of further expansion for well-established Melbourne based Dynamic Steel Frame, who have been manufacturing light gauge steel (LGS) frames for the commercial and domestic industry since 2012.   

Quality assurance, and the sourcing of cost-effective, superior materials, is a primary concern in any modern building project. One approach that can make a substantial difference in project quality and efficiency is to use roof trusses made with cold formed steel (CFS).

CFS roof trusses work well for projects of any common size or scope. They are a very durable and cost-effective alternative to wood trusses, helping building owners and contractors around the world complete projects to the satisfaction and high standards of everyone involved.

Termites are a major source of risk for the global construction industry, costing billions of dollars in damage to both small and large-scale projects.

Termite infestations are considered a high probability in some of the largest population centers of the world, namely the US and Mexico, Africa, most of South America, southern Asia and Europe, and throughout Australia and the Pacific Islands.

The construction industry continues to move from strength to strength. But following the pandemic and a new way of life, the construction industry has experienced a surge across the world. Contractors and builders are in high demand due to previously stalled projects coming back to life in a thriving market.

A key decision with any construction project is choosing between asteel and wood framing structure. Here’s all the data you need to compare steel vs wood framing to make sound decisions for your next construction project.
