What we manufacture
Order a single component or the whole frame. Everything is made to your drawings and labelled to one set of layouts.
- WSteel Wall FramesCustom-engineered, roll-formed light gauge steel wall frames for residential, commercial and industrial projects, labelled for fast on-site assembly.
- TSteel Roof TrussesEngineered steel roof trusses for virtually any roof shape and span, designed for the site's wind classification and supplied labelled for faster installation.
- FSteel Floor SystemsEngineered steel floor framing — joists, bearers and bracing — for raised floors, upper floors and sloping sites.
- KComplete Steel Framing KitsThe complete structural frame for your project — walls, trusses and floor — designed and supplied together as one labelled, kit-only package.
- SIndustrial Sheds & WarehousesSteel wall frames, trusses and internal framing for industrial sheds, workshops and warehouse fit-outs.
A kit your crew can stand in order
Every wall panel and truss carries a label that matches the layout drawings. The crew finds the right piece, puts it where the drawing says and moves on.
BWG supplies framing kit-only: we design, engineer, manufacture and deliver. Your crew or framing contractor installs it.

Why builders send us their plans
- Frames that match the plans
- Members are cut by machine to a design produced from your drawings, so the frame fits the slab and the openings land where the architect put them.
- Paperwork your certifier expects
- Each project comes with shop drawings and engineering documentation prepared for that job, designed for the site's wind classification and site conditions.
- Organised for the crew
- Labelled panels and trusses, packed for the order you'll stand them, so the frame stage is assembly rather than sorting.
- Close to the South East
- Our factory sits between Toowoomba and Ipswich, about 40 km from each in a straight line, with Brisbane about 65 km away.

Before you send your plans
What does BWG Steel Framing make?
Light gauge steel wall frames, roof trusses and floor systems, supplied separately or together as a complete framing kit, plus steel framing for industrial sheds and warehouse projects.
What do I need to send for a quote?
Floor plans, elevations, sections and roof plan; engineering drawings if available; the wind and site classifications; the roofing material; the site suburb; and whether you need walls, trusses, floor or a full kit.
Which areas do you service?
Toowoomba, the Lockyer Valley and Darling Downs; Brisbane, Ipswich, Logan and the Redlands; the Scenic Rim; the Gold Coast and Northern Rivers NSW; the Sunshine Coast; Moreton Bay and Gympie; the Fraser Coast and Wide Bay; and the Gladstone region. See the service areas page for the full list of towns.
Do you install frames?
No. We design, engineer, manufacture and deliver framing kits. Installation is carried out by your crew or framing contractor.
How long does it take to get frames?
Lead times depend on the job size, design and production schedule, so we confirm them in your quote rather than quoting a generic figure.
Are your frames engineered?
Every project is supported by shop drawings and engineering documentation prepared for that job, designed for the site's wind classification and site conditions.
Have your drawings ready?
Send them through for a framing quote, or call and talk the job through first.
