Light gauge steel framing has a long track record in New Zealand housing, and it directly solves problems that are increasingly common with today's timber: warping, twisting and knots that force costly straightening and rework on site.
If you already have timber-framed drawings, switching to steel doesn't mean starting again. Our in-house, Framecad-certified detailers can convert your existing plans into a steel framing package — including mid-floor systems, wall frames and trusses — so your design carries across and you gain steel's accuracy.
Built for straighter, faster, more efficient homes
Outcomes depend on your specific design and site, but light gauge steel is engineered to reduce common timber headaches from foundation to finish.
Faster to frame up
Custom-cut, precision-manufactured frames need less on-site adjustment, helping keep the build programme moving from foundation to lock-up.
Straight, true & stable
Steel doesn't warp, twist or carry knots, so walls, ceilings and floors stay straight without the packing and re-cutting timber can need.
Light enough to handle without a crane
Light gauge steel components are easier to lift and fix into place using basic tools, including on sloping or restricted-access sites.
Resists moisture, pests & fire
Steel won't rot, absorb moisture or attract borer and termites, and it's non-combustible — protecting your home's structure long-term.

Timelines vary by project, but precision-cut, pre-engineered steel panels generally need less on-site adjustment than timber, which can shorten the framing stage of a build. Your builder can confirm the expected programme benefit once your specific design and site are reviewed.
In most cases, yes. Our in-house Framecad-certified detailers can convert existing timber drawings — including wall frames, trusses and mid-floor systems — into a steel framing package, subject to a review of your plans and any required engineering.
Material costs can differ, but steel framing can offset this through faster assembly, less on-site waste and reduced rework from straightening warped timber. A like-for-like quote against your plans is the most accurate way to compare.
Yes. Light gauge steel components are lightweight and easy to manoeuvre by hand, and adjustable footings can help accommodate sloping or uneven terrain with minimal site disruption.
