Background 

Austruss has been leading the prefabricated light gauge steel (LGS) industry in New South Wales, Australia since 2003. They design, manufacture and install LGS framing and provide wall, roof systems, floor cassettes and facade panels to residential, commercial and public sectors. Their focus on swiftness, affordability, and excellence has positioned them as a preferred supplier for customers seeking efficient and reliable construction solutions using light gauge steel framing. 

Background 

For the past 20 years, Sydney Frames & Trusses have been serving the New South Wales market in Australia. Originally focused on supplying timber frames, the business quickly recognized the need to diversify its product range to include steel wall frames, roof trusses, and floor joists to ensure a comprehensive solution. Nathan Salama, Production Manager said that the introduction of steel framing to their customers was a well-timed strategic decision aligned with the timber shortages. 

Background 

When US-based Framecore were looking for a better building methodology they came across cold formed steel (CFS) and perceived it as an interrupter to the construction industry and they soon made the decision to invest. Three years on they are constructing residential and commercial buildings for clients across Phoenix, Arizona using steel framing.

Background 

U.S. Las Vegas-based Tori Contracting has been building luxury accommodations since 2015, at which time they invested in their first FRAMECAD System.  Their work building wall panels and trusses and joists soon expanded to include commercial and institutional projects as well as residential offerings across Nevada. Tori’s smaller, cohesive structure results in superior workmanship and economical solutions. 

Background

Recent requirement changes around flood and bushfire zones mean that timber can no longer be used for these projects. With the additional benefit of speed of construction being a major factor when it comes to winning contracts in the Australian construction market cold formed steel (CFS) framing is the obvious choice.
